“With the negotiation strategies, tactics and tools provided by Ray, I was able to take a standalone real estate loan with our bank and convert it into a full relationship with line of credit, construction loan, investment management, operating accounts and treasury services. By taking time to understand the broader client needs, we created a substantial increase in the profit profile of the account for the bank. This was also a win-win for the borrower since they are now a much more valuable client of the bank."
