NAELB Atlanta Conference November 7-8

 

The Eastern Regional Meeting is almost here.  As of this morning, we have 98

people registered to attend.  There are ten companies exhibiting and looking

forward to meeting with you.  The Exhibiting companies are: ACC Capital

Corp, Colonial Leasing, Creative Capital Leasing Group, Dakota Financial,

LLC, Financial Pacific Leasing Co., Manifest Funding Services, Marlin

Leasing Corp, Republic Leasing Company, Inc., Team Equipment Leasing, and

TimeValue Software (as of 10/29/03).

Now here's what Jerry Christensen has to say about his workshop in Atlanta.

 

---From The Bank's Point of View

 

“Having read Gerry Egan's comments on his presentation at the upcoming

Eastern Regional meeting in Atlanta, I wanted to share some of what I have

learned about how brokers can be "more than they are". 

 

“Gerry's comments hit the nail on the head.  I want to give you information

that you can take home and use in your daily business lives.  The lease

finance world has changed significantly in the past few short years.  It's

going to continue to change.  Banks, be they community, regional, national

or multi-national need to keep growing or they lose market share.  The

equipment lease broker can and should be part of that growth opportunity for

those banks.  The question is....How can the broker community be better

equipped to understand the banks mentality, why bank want to fund leases,

what financial information is used to make decisions and how best to present

a deal to a bank.

 

“Of course, developing the relationship and ability to have banks want to

deal with you is what comes first.

 

“During the workshop, I'll give you the information you will need to access

this important capital market.  Other brokers have been very successful in

tapping into the community bank funding market in particular.  I know I

joined the NAELB after attending a workshop in Marina Del Rey in 2002

presented by John Winchester.  John was willing to share his knowledge and

expertise (not to mention documents).  I hope to add to what John started

last year but "From the Banks Point of View".

 

“I look forward to seeing you' all in Atlanta.”

Speaking/Presentation Tips

 

1. No, you do not have to start a speech by telling a funny story.

 

2. In order to relax before speaking, visualize your audience giving you a standing ovation.

 

3. Never YELL at your audience if you have a microphone.

 

4. Always use a microphone if you are speaking to more than 15 people.

 

 

TV/Media Tips

 

5.  When listening to a reporter’s question (and you must listen very carefully), don’t think about how your vast database of knowledge can provide 10,000 new facts to answer every nuance of the reporter’s question.

 

6. Instead, focus on how you can honestly answer the question in a way that allows you to talk about one, two or three of your message points.

 

7. Do move your hands--whoever told speakers not to use their hands was not given accurate information.

 

8. When appearing on TV, don’t move your hands above your face, below your chest or wider than your shoulders.

 

 

Crisis Communications Tip

 

9. You can't count on the makeup department at TV stations or networks--they might be busy, at lunch, or in a bad mood. Be prepared to do your own makeup.

 

10. The more forceful a reporter attacks you with tough questions, the more you should look happy, relaxed, and comfortable when you are responding.

This Day in American History

 

      Happy Halloween

http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/today/oct31.html

                 1517- German Augustinian monk Martin Luther, 31, nailed to the door of the castle church in Wittenberg a list of 95 theological points he wished to debate ... and touched off the Protestant Reformation , which lead to seeking of

religious freedom and eventually the founding of the new world, which was

to become the United Colonies ( later changed to the United States.)

               1753-George Washington was sent by Governor Robert Dinwiddie of Virginia to demand French withdrawal from the Ohio territory. Dinwiddie had been impressed by Washington’s achievement as surveyor and fieldsman, and picked him for the commission, although he was only 21 years old.  As adjutant general of the Northern Division, Washington set out from Williamsburg, VA.  With Christopher Gist as his guide, he made observations of French fortifications and estimations about needed English fortifications. During the expedition he kept a journal, which Dinwiddie later obtained and had printed. It indicted French intentions for the territory and attributed to a French office the indiscreet admission that “...it was their absolute Design to take possession of the Ohio, and by G---they would do it.”

         1832- American Episcopal scholar George Washington Doane, 33, was consecrated as second Bishop of the Diocese of NJ. Doane is better remembered today as author of the hymn, "Softly Now the Light of Day."

1860- Birthday of Juliet Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA,

Savanaugh, GA.

           1861-Citing failing health, General Winfield Scott, commander of the Union forces, retires from service. The hero of the Mexican War recognized early in the Civil War that his health and advancing years were a liability in the daunting task of directing the Federal war effort. Scott was born in Virginia in 1786. He graduated from William and Mary College and joined the military in 1808, where he had become the youngest general in the army by the end of the War of 1812. During the crisis of 1861, Scott remained at his post and refused to join his native state in secession. President Lincoln asked Scott to devise a comprehensive plan to defeat the Confederacy. Scott's strategy called for the blockading of ports to isolate the South economically, then an offensive down the Mississippi River. In the optimistic early days of the war, this strategy seemed hopelessly sluggish-in fact, critics dubbed it the "Anaconda Plan" after the giant Amazonian snake that slowly strangles its prey. Despite initial criticism, it was the basic strategy that eventually won the war.

          1864- Nevada became the 36th state.  1864-Anxious to have support of the Republican-dominated Nevada Territory for President Abraham Lincoln's reelection, the U.S. Congress quickly admits Nevada as the 36th state in the Union. In 1864, Nevada had only 40,000 inhabitants, considerably short of the 60,000 normally required for statehood. But the 1859 discovery of the incredibly large and rich silver deposits at Virginia City had rapidly made the region one of the most important and wealthy in the West. The inexpert miners who initially developed the placer gold deposits at Virginia City had complained for some time about the blue-gray gunk that kept clogging up their gold sluices. Eventually several of the more experienced miners realized that the gunk the gold miners had been tossing aside was actually rich silver ore, and soon after, they discovered the massive underground silver deposit called the Comstock Lode. The decisive factor in easing the path to Nevada's statehood was President Lincoln's proposed 13th Amendment banning slavery. Throughout his administration Lincoln had appointed territorial officials in Nevada who were strong Republicans, and he knew he could count on the congressmen and citizens of a new state of Nevada to support him in the coming presidential election and to vote for his proposed amendment. Since time was so short, the Nevada constitutional delegation sent the longest telegram on record up to that time to Washington, D.C., containing the entire text of the proposed state constitution and costing the then astronomical sum of $3,416.77.Their speedy actions paid off with quick congressional approval of statehood and the new state of Nevada did indeed provide strong support for Lincoln. On January 31, 1865, Congress approved the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution banning slavery.

         1893-African-American football player William Henry Lewis named All-American. Harvard's football team featured the first black All-American in the form of William Henry Lewis, who had been an undergraduate at Amherst College. Lewis had initially attended Virginia Normal (now Virginia State), but moved north in 1889. He was voted as Amherst's captain in 1890. Lewis went on to Harvard Law School and continued his football career. He played in the Crimson's 6-0 loss to Yale in 1892, but so impressed Walter Camp that he was named to Camp's All-America squad. The Crimson center rusher was a repeat All-America honoree in 1893. Lewis became assistant district attorney in Boston following graduation.

         1896- Birthday of Ethel Waters. Married when she was 13, Ethel Waters began her singing career at the urging of friends. At age 17 she was singing at Baltimore’s Lincoln Center, billing herself as Sweet Mama Stringbean. Her career took her to New York, where she divided her work between the stage, nightclubs and films. She made her Broadway debut in 1927 in the revue Africana, and her other stage credits included Blackbirds, Rhapsody in Black, Thousands Cheer and Mamba’s Daughters. Her memorable stage roles in Cabin in the Sky and A Member of the Wedding (for which she won the Drama Critics’ Award) were recreated for film.

         1912 - Dale Evans (Frances Butts) (singer, songwriter: Happy Trails to You; actress: The Roy Rogers Show, Roy Rogers movies; wife of ‘King of the Cowboys’ Roy Rogers; died Feb 7, 2001)

         1915 – Birthday of piano player Meade Lux Lewis, Binghampton, NY. Died June 7, 1964.

        1926 – Because this is Halloween, we record this event: Harry Houdini died on this day of peritonitis. Days earlier, between performances at the Princess Theater in Montreal, Canada, as he relaxed in his dressing room, he was visited by a student athlete from Montreal’s McGill University. The young man asked Houdini if it was true that he could actually withstand punches to the stomach. Houdini replied in the affirmative, but before he could prepare himself for the stunt by tightening his stomach muscles, the student punched the magician several times in his mid-section. Houdini performed that night and several more, then headed for Detroit where he did one show, then collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. At the time, it was assumed that his appendix had been ruptured by the blows from the student. Current medical knowledge leads experts to believe that Houdini already had appendicitis and only thought that the blows to his stomach were the cause of his pain. Magicians and mediums throughout the world still gather on this night, Halloween, to honor the Great Houdini. 1930 - In a rare recording, William ‘Count’ Basie sang with Bennie Moten’s orchestra, "Somebody Stole My Gal", on

        1927- Hoagy Carmichal records a song he just wrong called “Stardust (Gennett 6331)

        1937 -- Tom Paxton born Chicago, Illinois. Folk singer/songwriter. His songs have been recorded by hundreds of artists as diverse as Pete Seeger, Willie Nelson and Placido Domingo. Ramblin' Boy, The Last Thing On My Mind, Bottle of Wine, Goin' to the Zoo & The Marvelous Toy are just a few of his songs.

“Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket
put golden flowers over my head in a silver basket

while sixteen liveried employees
Sell souvenirs from the funeral store...”

       1941- Although not complete, the Federal Government declared the work

over at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, after 14 years of work. First suggested by Jonah Robinson of the South Dakota State Historical Society, the memorial was dedicated in 1925, and work began in 1927. The memorial contains sculptures of the heads of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. The 60-foot-tall sculptures represent, respectively, the nation’s founding, political philosophy, preservation, expansion and conservation. Actually, the money ran out. Work on the monument had begun August 10, 1927. It was dedicated March 3, 1933 although work continued. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum died in 1941 and his son, Lincoln, continued the project until funds ran out on this day. Since then, no additional carving has been done, nor is any further work (other than maintenance) on the memorial planned.

The Rams acquired an additional three draft picks and another player from the Buffalo Bills in exchange for the Colts’ trading the right to linebacker Cornelius Bennett to the Bills.  Thus started the tradition of making “deals” utilizing draft picks.

          1988 - Paul McCartney made musical history by becoming the first Western recording artist to release an album exclusively in the Soviet Union. Titled CHOBA B CCCP ("Back in the USSR"), it comprised the best tracks from his set of live one-take recordings taped the previous year.

         1999 - EgyptAir Flight 990, en route to Cairo from New York, crashed off the coast of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. All 217 people on board died. Some American investigators suspected a relief co-pilot deliberately put the plane into a suicide dive, causing the crash.  It is the belief today that Osma Bin Laden got the idea to use airplanes as bombs from this event.

         2001 -For the first time since Philadelphia A's Mule Haas hit a game-tying two-run homer in Game 5 of the 1929 World Series, a team comes from behind to tie a Fall Classic game in the ninth and goes on to win in extra innings. Tino Martinez sends the game into overtime with a two-out homer off Diamondbacks' closer Byung-Hyun Kim and Derek Jeter, dubbed Mr. November, wins it after the stroke of midnight with a full count two-out round tripper giving the Bronx Bombers a 3-2 victory and knots the series at two games apiece.
