Rick Wilbur/Jim Buckles

 

 

The famous Rick Wilbur of MediCap-lessor/discounter/superbroker/broker/

bon vivant with System 1/Software Expert Jim Buckles. Hands on experience

at the Marina del Rey Conference, to be repeated at the Chicago March

Conference.

 

“The handsome young man in the middle is my son Carey who is also my partner. I have no idea what we were doing there because I'm old forgetful..Carey on the other hand was probably trying to learn more about the capabilities of Capital Stream.

 

“I think the industry is beginning to catch it's collective breath and

business is getting much stronger. Our volume is increasing and the quality

of credit appears to be getting better.

 

“Hope to see you in Chicago.”

Rick

From Jim Buckles--

 

“The picture was taken at the NAELB Regional Conference in Marina Del Rey

last November. I was discussing the latest features of Advantage version

2.0 (the successor to the System 1 software program) with Rick & Carey

Wilbur. This version will be available Q2 of this year and I will be

showing a "sneak peak" in Chicago for the NAELB National Convention 3/19 -

23. A free training session on 2.0 and a general discussion of Advantage

and alaQuote will be available to convention attendees on Thursday 3/19 from

1pm - 5pm.

 

“Since leaving CapitalStream 2 years ago and forming Preferred Broker

Solutions, I have been very fortunate to bring aboard two previous System 1

people. "Technical Guru", Trevor Thompson and "Developer Extraordinaire"

Tom Wynne. Both people have been a terrific asset to our company and have

allowed us to grow rather rapidly, keeping up with the constant demand of

offering superior software and the best possible customer support available

to the Leasing Community.

 

“We are experiencing a very steady growth with our Advantage customer base as

well as subscribers to our alaQuote program. alaQuote is our web based

quoting tool that furnishes a private label Lease Calculator, Custom Quote

Letter, Credit Application and Credit Release form which feeds application

data into Advantage. This program is extremely easy to use and furnishes a

professional web presence to any Leasing Professional's web site as well as

a private label offering to their vendors.

 

“The industry is definitely in a regroup and reorganize phase at the moment.

This is nothing new, we just haven't experienced this, at this depth, in a

long time. The upswing is inevitable. This is a great time to review how

we are all doing business, trim the fat, increase efficiencies, target new

markets and get moving. There is no doubt that some companies are still

doing deals, while others are just waiting for something to happen. These

times, you have to make it happen!

 

“Look forward to seeing everyone in Chicago.”
