"In this session I learned to understand how to work with your customer to optimize their business rather than being an order taker. Learning how to structure operating lines of credit. Presenting the scenario in a positive way to the customer. UCA Cash Flow and examining tax returns."
"I learned more about my role as a lender. How to meet customer needs and protect my institution."
