Bulletin Board Complaint
IFC Credit Corp. dba First Corp, Morton Grove, Illinois
“On 02/05/2009 IFC Credit Corp dba FirstCorp issued Ameritech Medical a Purchase Order in the amount of $20,546 for 1 piece of diagnostic ultrasound equipment HP/Philips Sonos 5500 to be shipped to a physician group in Hartford, CT.
“Ameritech delivered the equipment, and invoiced IFC. The equipment was accepted by the physician group. Terms are payment within 30 days. On 24 March 2009 Mr. Brad Wheatley, EVP (wbwheatley@ifccredit.com, 847-663-6742) of Finance sent me an email stating that payment would be made within the week. No payment was made. To date, (almost 3 months) IFC has both refused to pay and has delayed payment.
“At first they stated they had not received system serial number. This was provided immediately although it was previously provided. Then they requested a revised Invoice. Revised invoice was provided with all details they requested although my original invoice clearly stated the correct bill to and ship to information.
“After pressing the issue, IFC representatives
(Mr. Kevin Collins - VP of Vendor Sales, kcollins@firstcorp.com, 847-324-1538)) informed me within the last week that they are in fact unable to pay because of financial reasons at IFC. The physician that received the equipment is being billed in a timely fashion electronically by IFC, yet they refuse to pay me the vendor for almost 3 months. Even after stating that our attorney would be contacting IFC, they have still refused to pay or even indicate when they can honor this debt. “

Re: Leasing News
Dear Mr. Menkin:
Three weeks ago we wrote to you with a request that you stop misrepresenting Leasing News as an unbiased and fair news source.

In that regard, please be advised that no further comment to you or your publication, Leasing News, will be forthcoming directly from IFC on any issue. Any questions, comments, or inquiries you have concerning IFC in any way should be directed to the undersigned as counsel for IFC.
Very truly your’s

Sales Make it Happen --- by Linda P. Kester
Vendor Follow-Up Many equipment leasing representatives think that a follow-up call consists of calling a lessee or a vendor and asking: “Did you get the information I sent? Do you have any questions? Anything I can quote for you?” The prospect normally responds: “No, I have your information here; I'll call you if I need you.” This becomes a game of nagging the prospect for business. No more nagging! As a professional leasing sales representative, it's your job to find out the prospect's “sweet spot”. Find out what is most important to your prospect and when you follow up, the call is all about them. You add value to their business by providing ideas, articles and suggestions that can help them end their craving for the service they desire. Here's an example of a good follow-up call: The transcript from a good follow-up call : Caller: Okay, let's see here...who should I call. Hmmm, here's one. Brunswick Equipment...(touch tones). Receptionist: Brunswick Equipment, how can I direct your call? Caller: I need to speak with Ken Smith please. Receptionist: One moment Customer: Ken Smith. Caller: Hi Ken, this is John Miles with ACME Leasing. I'm calling to continue our conversation from two weeks ago. You mentioned that fast response was one of the most important things to you in a leasing company . I'd like to walk through the material I sent you to point out the specific benefits to equipment companies. Do you have the kit handy? That's OK I wanted to get your thoughts on a special program we're running...Do you think this would work for you? What needs to happen for you to try a new leasing company? Next Step Go into an ending question. Example: After you site an example of helping another client in the same industry: “What would be the best way to see if we could help your company realize similar or even greater benefits this year?” “Mr. Prospect, would you do business with us if we were to develop a solution in this area that exceeded your expectations?” The key to the follow-up call is to do it in a timely manner, add value to the prospect, slow down and find out the real problem, and help them solve it. If you want to learn more about follow-up calls and how to increase business from existing lessees, visit Linda in Las Vegas this Friday 5/1/09, at the NAELB convention , Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa. Hope to see you there. Sign up for Linda's eMail Newsletter linda@lindakester.com Sales Makes it Happen articles:

“Spanish” Influenza
“I am student working on a research project for an American History course. I have to pick a significant event that impacted the world (not just the US) in either a positive or negative way. I chose to study the effects of the Bubonic Plague. I found this article to be a really helpful overview of the virus and its impacts.
“I noticed that on http://www.leasingnews.org/American_History/mar_11.htm you link to http://home.nycap.rr.com/useless/bubonic_plague/index.html, but that is a broken link (doesn't look like that page exists anymore). I found this page to be a good replacement if you just wanted to change the link to: http://www.usa-people-search.com/content-the-bubonic-plague.aspx I hope this helps, thanks!”
Regards,
Ashley
Ashley@ahazelton.com
(Now Corrected:
(1918-The first cases of the "Spanish" influenza were reported in the US when 107 soldiers became sick at Fort Riley, KS. By the end of 1920 nearly 25 percent of the US population had had it. As many as 500,000 civilians died from the virus, exceeding the number of US troops killed abroad in WWI. Worldwide, more than 1 percent of the global population, or 22 million people, had died by 1920. Due to the panic, cancellation of public events was common and many public service workers wore masks on the job. Emergency tent hospitals were set up in some locations due to overcrowding.

Open Letter to Brokers/Salesmen/Funders et. al.
by Christopher Menkin
“You are right on the mark, when my son, John and I owned Pioneer Capital we had been the main funding source for Subway stores since the early 1990's. We often brokered leases to T & W when our credit lines were temporally full. In year 2000 T& W went bankrupt and its large portfolio was parceled out to Finova (now out of business) and other servicing organizations, all of whom did not have the complete document package. They were quite vigorous in attempting to maximize their collections and placed extraordinary claims on our lessees for FMV since there was no record of a purchase option letter or proof of any security deposits.
“We were able to save hundreds of lessees’ grief by producing these documents. Our standard terms called for a 10 % security deposit and a 10 % Put. In other words, at the completion of payments the lease was paid in full. Subway Headquarters never heard about the dilemma of our lessees or the efforts we made to put things right. Pioneer continues a relationship with Subway even today after Pioneer having been purchased by IFC in 2004.
“Very good advise indeed.”

“I just had to comment on Part II of the cold-calling article. Excellent! I can't tell you how many people I've spoken with in the last six months that seem to be paralyzed. Instead of "doing something about it" like you state in your article, they do everything other than something that will bring them closer to their goals. In fact, it seems they have no goals.
“It seems that a lot of people in this industry forget that they are in a "sales" position. As such, you need to live your work 24/7 and get the word out to everyone you come into contact with. Eventually, it will sink in and you'll get the business, but you can't let up.

“I just read your Leasing News’s article about "Making Sales Happen" and wish to offer an idea.
When I started focusing on leasing full time in the fitness industry, I decided to apply to the trade shows to offer a seminar and was pleasantly surprised that since no one had ever offered seminars on leasing and SBA loans, my application was accepted. The major work involved was writing the seminar, but the return was that my name and our company received a tremendous amount of publicity as part of the marketing of the trade show. Also, at the trade show, my " ‘Speaker's’ badge separates me from my competitors as a perceived "expert".
“I decided to apply to write to industry publications using my speaker expertise and contacted the editors and was accepted in both cases. I have now written two (2) articles on financing in different publications and am now writing a two (2) part series for a third publication. The time and research in writing the articles has been involved, however I am now the only person to have written articles on the subject within the fitness industry on debt financing. Over time, it is my goal now to become the leading expert in fitness on equipment leasing and SBA loans which I believe is attainable. This process started our started out with an idea and a phone call and involved absolutely no money other than the travel expense to attend the trade shows.

“The meeting in Charlotte went very well. We got a lot of response from folks suggesting other cities and we're putting together our ‘itinerary’ for those right now.
“There are a lot of folks who need help right now and what they've been doing isn't working for them anymore so it's a good time for them to re-evaluate and try some different approaches. The bigger broker/lessors and the funding sources can get the help they need and, while I enjoy working with them and it's profitable, my heart, of course, is with the smallest brokers; especially the ones who are relatively new to the business.
“Many of them spent a lot of money on one school or another and are just floundering; completely lacking in direction and with no real philosophy or plan for marketing; completely reactionary to whatever's going on around them. I'm never sure of the best way to reach the most of them in a way that's practical for them as well as for me. They need more than a few paragraphs of sales tips or a few minutes of encouragement and platitudes. I've spent enough time on the phone with enough of them to know a couple of things for sure, though. They need to know whether or not they're really committed to the business and they need to have something invested in the help they receive for it to have any value and, ultimately, any practical results for them.
“Take care,”

Re: Leasing News
Dear Mr. Menkin:
We are attorneys for IFC Credit Corporation ("IFC") and Mr. Rudy Trebels ("Mr. Trebels"). We write to you on their behalf regarding the nature and content of the Leasing News website (www.leasingnews.org) and the publication published and distributed by you under the name "Leasing News" (the website and the publication are called collectively "Leasing News."). For the reasons outlined below it is our clients' position that your publication of Leasing News constitutes an unfair and deceptive business practice under California law.
Leasing News holds itself out to the leasing industry and to the general public as a source for "Independent unbiased and fair news about the Leasing Industry." This representation is false and deceptive as Leasing News is in fact the opposite of what it purports to be. You are not simply the "Publisher/Editor" of Leasing News, but also the principal of American Leasing L.P. ("American Leasing"), a commercial enterprise which has been involved in the leasing business for many years and is a competitor of IFC and others in the industry.
Notwithstanding your self-serving "Policy Statement" for Leasing News that American Leasing is "a separate company" and that you purportedly strive to "keep both companies distinct entities to avoid any journalistic conflicts", this inherent conflict is irreconcilable. False, inaccurate, defamatory, and disparaging statements about IFC, Mr. Trebels and others in the leasing industry can only serve to injure them and benefit you and American Leasing. Leasing News published numerous articles and statements about IFC and Mr. Trebels, none of which can be reasonably characterized as "independent," "unbiased," or "fair."
We note with interest that your publication highlights that it has an independent "Board of Advisors". The Board of Advisors includes active participants in the leasing industry, including several members who compete with IFC and others in the industry. Just as surprising and of concern is the fact that the Board includes individuals with extensive backgrounds in journalism and reporting. Given the observations in this letter, it is disconcerting that these

leasing and news advisors support your claim that your publication and its content are independent, fair and unbiased.
Further, articles and statements about IFC and Mr. Trebels published by you in Leasing News have damaged and will continue to damage the business reputations of IFC and Mr. Trebels. Readers of your publication have been defrauded and are being misled as to your motives and intentions in writing and circulating such articles.
We note that Leasing News claims it substantiates all submissions before publication. A truly journalistic publication should be held to the highest standard of accuracy, and we believe that Leasing News has failed this standard as to IFC, Mr. Trebels, and others in the industry. It is clearly wrong and unfair for you to simply repeat disparaging rumors, speculative gossip and innuendo or to publish inflammatory exaggeration as "unbiased facts" or "news" and accordingly we request that you cease and desist making such statements. If you have independent support or legitimate sources that accurately substantiate your claims regarding IFC or Mr. Trebels, please identify them for us. We welcome the opportunity to evaluate them and stop any misrepresentations regarding IFC or Mr. Trebels at their origin.
The false portrayal of Leasing News as a news outlet is an unfair and fraudulent business practice, and constitutes unfair, deceptive, untrue or misleading advertising under California Bus. & Prof Code § 17200, et seq., inter alia. Accordingly, we also request you immediately cease and desist from portraying Leasing News as "Independent unbiased and fair news about the Leasing Industry" and that your role as a long-time participant in the leasing industry be prominently and appropriately disclosed on your website and publication.
Please be reminded that should you fail to promptly remedy these deceptive and unfair business practices, our clients intend to enforce any and all rights available to them including legal action against you. Nothing contained herein should be construed as a waiver of any of our clients' rights and remedies, which are expressly reserved.
Very Truly Yours,
