We are more than just lenders we are friends

Something I have learned is that we are more than just lenders we are friends.  I think i talk to my customers more than I do any of my friends.  I am just as comfortable talking to them as anyone.  As a business some people think that we are here just to do a job, but I believe that we are here to be friends.  Most of my friends are customers also and most customers have become my friends.  There will always be a a mutual friendship between business and friends whether our friends use or business or with our business we meet new friends.  Friendships are something we value today and the more we understand that friendship the better off we are I can't remember a time when I have not made new friends during a business deal.  That is something I pride myself in is the friendly enviroment and the friendly conversations.  I believe that friendships make a business along with the proper knowledge of the business.
