Welcome to The BDO Show! A podcast for passionate BDOs wanting to level up their game with advice and stories from battle-tested BDO’s. Engaging with Centers of Influence (COIs) is crucial for SBA lenders looking to elevate their game. "Nothing is really developed just by one outreach or doing it one time." The idea here is that relationship building is an ongoing process that requires time and effort. By consistently reaching out to COIs and offering them value, you can build a network that supports your business long-term. Whether it's through regular follow-up calls or inviting them to social events, the key is to stay on their radar and be a resource they can rely on. Each of our hosts share their strategies for developing and keeping COIs. But in the end, nothing sells like a closed loan.
