A conversation with community banker Marc Pelletier on trust, credit, and how entrepreneurs can walk into the bank with confidence
Most entrepreneurs would rather go to the doctor than go meet a banker.
So I brought on my first banker, and an old friend, Marc Pelletier to talk about what entrepreneurs actually need to know about banks, credit, and building trust.
In this episode:
- How banking has changed since 2001
- What banks look for (and why)
- Community banking explained
- Banker vs. investor
- Finding the right fit (yes, banks have personalities)
