Since
early
2010,
he
has
been
using
a
web
site
known
for
anonymous
complaining
(where
complaints
can
not
be
addressed
or
removed
as
false)
to
slander
my
name-
and
uses
many
aliases
pretending
to
be
different
people.
It
is
VERY
SAD
really.
Most
of
his
initial
ramblings
were
nothing
more
than
a
nuisance
filled
with
falsified
quotes
and
emails
that
I
supposedly
sent.
It
was
very
easy
to
overcome
these
anonymous
complaints
by
pointing
to
the
Better
Business
Bureau
and
my
A+
rating
with
NO
complaints
-
EVER!.
But
recently
he
decided
to
take
it
to
the
slimiest
level
of
them
all.
He
posted
a
new
entry
in
his
ongoing
slander
that
I
was
a
convicted
sex
offender
convicted
in
New
York
City
in
the
late
90's.
No
doubt
this
was
done
because
I
coach
a
nationally
ranked
girls
travel
softball
team
and
he
wanted
to
attack
me
on
the
most
personal
of
levels-
and
yes
it
is
that
easy
to
post
slander
like
that
hiding
behind
the
anonymity
of
the
Internet.
Obviously,
anyone
who
checks
sex
offender
registries
or
does
a
criminal
background
check
on
me
will
find
no
such
thing.
A
new
criminal
complaint
against
him
is
in
the
hands
of
my
attorney.
Though
a
few
people
have
come
to
my
defense
in
this
ongoing
posting,
I
stay
out
of
it
as I
have
better
things
to
do
like
training
and
supporting
business
brokers.
The
second
attacker
does
NOT
even
warrant
much
of
an
explanation.
He
is
the
owner
of a
business
brokering
franchise
whom
my
program
is
defeating.
I
have
known
him
since
2000
or
so
and
his
little
attacks
do
not
surprise
me
and
sound
like
a
child
having
his
or
her
toys
taken
away.
If
he
was
going
to
attack
me,
at
least
he
could
have
one
it
in a
more
believable
manner.
A
Coward!
As
you
see,
I do
not
hide
from
it
as I
did
no
wrong
and
we
have
a
clean
record
with
the
Better
Business
Bureau. I
have
ONE
MESSAGE
to
anyone
who
believes
an
anonymous
attack
(s)
over
our
extended
body
of
work
- we
are
not
for
you.
We
have
an
A+

Q-
You
refer to "cleaning
up the industry"
everywhere - can you
explain?
To
start
with,
all
you
need
to
do
is
read
the
above
answer.
The
majority
of
business
brokers
in
the
market
are
led
by
the
greed
of
making
a
quick
buck
AND
creating
a
huge
financial
windfall
for
themselves
by
doing
- or
saying
-
whatever
they
have
to
to
generate
sales.
This
philosophy
creates
a
deceptive
approach
whereby
these
types
of
brokers
will
do -
or
say
-
anything
to
further
their
greed.
Whether
they
charge
high
fees
to
list
a
business
or
they
run
with
deposits
placed
as
part
of
an
offer.
Whether
they
are
real
estate
brokers
pretending
to
broker
businesses
because
real
estate
is
down
while
destroying
confidentiality
on
MLS
or
not
properly
qualifying
business
buyers.
It
could
also
be
someone
trained
out
of a
book
written
when
Ronald
Reagan
was
the
USA
president
or a
franchisee
trained
to
get
the
listing
on
the
first
meeting
no
matter
what
they
have
to
say
. We
are
slowly
removing
this
type
of
greed
by
placing
highly
trained
brokers
in
every
business
community.
Our brokers are
trained live and
fully supported in
the most current
"business brokering"
practices and they
have the common
philosophy to
provide ethical and
moral business
brokering services
allowing their
commission to serve
as their financial
reward for a job
well done. They
allow their service
to dictate their
commission not vice
versa. And they do
not charge retainer
fees to list a
business rather they
get paid when the
business seller does
- at closing. This
is how a business
broker should
operate.
And in
cleaning up
the
industry, I
will be the
target of
more
attacks. So
be it, a
"pioneer" is
defined as
being one of
the first in
a new area
or industry
- in this
case a
service
friendly
approach in
business
brokering -
and the dark
side of
business
brokering is
not happy
having their
unethical
and greedy
"commission"
driven
service
interrupted
by our
"service"
driven
approach.
Q-
Are
your business
brokers franchisees,
employees,
independent
contractors or
associates?
Our
business
brokers
are
associates
trained
and
supported
by
the
industry's
most
comprehensive
brokering
systems.
They
each
own
their
own
brokerage
entity
trained
and
supported
by
A.S.
Radin
&
Associates.
Each
broker
invested
into
our
programs
to
start
and/or
improve
their
brokering
career.
Our
experience
shows
a
definite
correlation
between
those
who
invested
into
our
program
to
those
with
career
longevity
and
success.
In
return
our
brokers
keep
90%
of
their
commissions
resulting
in a
more
motivated
environment
fueled
by
the
motivation
to
provide
a
great
service
and
become
the
most
ethical
(and
best)
in
their
area.
We
no
longer
hire
agents,
provide
free
training
and
hope.
We
have
true
brokers
with
"skin
in
the
game"
to
stimulate
their
success.
Q-
How
does
the
economy
and
lending restrictions affect
business
brokering?
Business
brokering
is
economy
proof
and
may
actually
do
better
in a
struggling
economy
because
there
are
more
buyers
-
buyers
leaving
or
being
removed
from
the
corporate
world.
Contrary to
the doom
portrayed by
the media,
small
business
lending
never
stopped. The
only
difference
is that
lenders may
not be
lending to
"fringe"
buyers now
like they
would have a
few years
back. But
they are
still
lending to
highly
qualified
buyers - and
we only work
with highly
qualified
buyers.
Q- Don't all
business
owners think
their
business is
worth more
than it is?
No, actually
the majority
of the time
we come in
at or above
what the
owner had
anticipated.
We do a
Business
Market
Valuation
before
taking a
listing
providing
the owner a
concrete
report on
what the
business is
worth. AND
our
valuation is
based ONLY
on
financials
that can be
proven. They
might think
that it is
worth more
until they
view our
report.
Q- Why would
a business
owner pay
you a 8% -10%
commission
when a
Realtor can
do it for
less?
The
confidential
process is
the #1
reason a
business
owner hires
a business
broker. A
real estate
professional
practices in
the open -
public
sharing of
listings
(MLS) while
a business
broker is
hired by
business
owners to
sell his or
her business
in a
confidential
manner to
qualified
buyers.
And
qualified
buyers is a
key phrase
because we
only work
with buyers
qualified by
relevant
experience,
net worth
and good
credit.
There are
many other
differences
as well that
separate our
brokers from
the rest.
Q- Is name
recognition
and
experience
important
when
starting
out?
No,
you will be
developing a
"what you
can do"
principle
and not
"what you
have done".
But our
brokers have
instant
recognition
via our
experience
and brand as
soon as they
begin. Our
brokers are
affiliated
with us and
can use our
brand
similar to
the way a
franchise
office would
use the
franchisor.
Q- As a new broker with no
experience how can I possibly compete
against the experienced brokers?
The question I have been getting since 2001.
First let me say that I have told EVERYONE that
I have trained that if they lose a listing
because of experience then let me know. I am
still waiting for that first call. The process
and presentation that you will use sets up what
you can do NOT what you have done. And because
you are trained by us you can use "we" as in "we
are involved in hundreds of businesses sold
every year". Look, when you go to buy a car, do
you ask the salesperson how many cars they have
sold? NO - you look for the best presentation
and deal! YOU are affiliated with A.S. Radin &
Associates
using
our
brand
and
experience.
Q - What is the difference between you and
the franchises providing complete business
brokerage set-up?
We can start with the fact
franchises charge anywhere from
$15,000 to over $100,000
depending on the franchise and
territory. AND franchises charge
hefty royalties and other
administrative fees. We have a
set fee of $5,000 per territory
and a commission split allowing
you to keep 90% of your
commissions. AND our territories
are much larger allowing you
more revenue growth. For
instance, a franchise might
license four territories in
metro Detroit MI (area code 313)
while we offer the entire area
code as ONE territory. Please,
franchises are not gouging
people with their fees rather
they have to charge high fees to
offset their high expenses -
expenses that we do not and
never will have. We believe in
making money with the broker and
not off the broker.
And we train you on what
works now and not what worked 20
years ago.
Q - How long will it take
me to see revenue from my services?
On average
you will see commissions on the sale of
businesses in 3-4 months if you utilize our
system as we train it to you. However that is on
the sale of a business. You can generate
immediate income by using our instant revenue
services that has business owners paying you up
front. For instance, our Business Market
Valuations service currently generates more than
$4,000 per month for my local brokerage and many
of these clients have or will turn into listings
for me. I will show you how to make this amount
or more YOUR FIRST MONTH and thereafter
resulting in a rapid return on your training
investment and then some!
Q- What is the one reason
you would tell me on why to use your
training services?
Our cutting edge systematic processes and
educational marketing approach. The industry
has changed and so has our approach. We
train systems that work NOW not systems from
20 years ago. And we know they work because
we use the very same systems in our own
successful local brokerage. And we are
always trying new things and when they work
locally then we roll them out nationally. My
ability to remain a leader in the business
broker and broker training industry is why I
have prospered for nearly 10 years.
