Yuliya,

Come on now, your comments are getting even more silly by the post lol.

John,

1. This is the everything else section. What does 'EVERYTHING ELSE' imply?

2. We are not concerned with the credibility thing. But I really appreciate your concern there. The only way to build credibility with most MCA brokers is to work for them for free.

You should very well be concerned with the "credibility thing" because this forum comes up very high in search engines. Individuals and prospects looking up your company will see these silly threads which aren't good from a business development standpoint. It doesn't matter if there's an Everything Else section, you ought to be professional at all times.

3. Jay has not changed his pricing on $1,000 per hour for years and he has received that $1,000 per hour.

----------------------

Just because YOU don't assign a value to yourself where you'll charge $1,000 per hour and get it does not mean it can't be don.

Just because YOU can't send a funder a bill for tens of thousands of dollars and get it, doesn't mean it can't be done, and that it hasn't been done.

Okay, but I'm on Jay's personal LinkedIn profile right now and correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears as though he didn't get paid selling merchant cash advances based on his summary? Is this correct? If so, what is he consulting people on for $1,000 per hour? I have individuals emailing me as well for information and I don't charge them hardly anything for assistance. $1,000 per hour is ludicrous, especially coming from a person that admittedly says he didn't close any merchant cash advance deals, why the hell is he a consultant? What is the basis of his consultation? That's like a guy calling himself a lawyer without passing the Bar for goodness sakes.

Just because YOU are not aware that you are operating in a space (industry) currently in a bubble poised to pop and rock brokers to the core, doesn't mean that the writing is not on the wall. John, what's your Plan B? Got a soft pillow to land on?

Actually, I have been writing on the "future" of the broker for quite some time now. And yes, I have a Plan B, it's called a strong professional network, a good resume and capital, all three allow me to retrain into another industry. However, I do not see our industry going away, information technology disruption is going to continue regardless and our industry is on the leading forefront of that. I do see a lot of brokers who lack innovation being pushed out of the market though.

Just because YOU are more concerned with being liked, approachable, and in your public persona, doesn't mean there are people who can care less.

Again, this comment makes no sense. It's one thing to state your mind in a way to not be "PC", but to not be "approachable" in a business based on relationship building is completely insane.

John, just keep being John. You're a perfect caricature of everything they wish Jay would be. Kudos.

Are you Jay? You have referred to yourself as Jay before in a couple prior posts, if you are Jay, why are you hiding under a fake profile? Maybe you don't care seeing as though (according to you) "credibility" doesn't matter.

But can you tell me, what exactly is Jay fighting against and why in the hell should someone pay Jay $1,000 per hour to consult on a product that he never successfully sold? Come to think of it, I don't think the CEOs of many major funders/lenders demand $1,000 per hour to do an engagement, so why in the hell does Jay demand that when (according to him) he hasn't done anything?
