Twenty steers consigned by kent Bankers have hearts too but they have jobs to do BY SHELLEY MCPHEE HAIST ...A guy goes in for a heart trans­ plant and the doctor gives him two choices. He may pick from the heart of a 68-year-old deceased banker, or the heart of a 17-year-old youth killed in a traffic accident. “I'll take the banker's heart”, the guy says. “It's never been used”.... Joyce McGlinchey is a former banker, now a mortgage broker from Stratford. She tells the heart transplant joke to seminar audiences to help them understand how a banker operates, to help them “climb into a banker's head.” Bankers may not have heart, but they have a job to do , and Ms. McGlinchey works with small busi­ nesses to help them deal with finan­ cial institutions, wisely and carefully. Ms. McGlinchey was in Vanastra on November 27 to lead a three hour seminar, “How To Deal With Your Banker” for the Federal Busi­ ness Development Bank's (FBDB) yearlong series of business presenta­ tions. More than 60 Huron County business people attended the ses­ sion, the fourth in a 10 part series being put on by FBDB and funded by the Huron Industrial Training Advisory Committee (HITAC). The seminar attendants represent­ ed a broad range of business pur­ suits - retail merchants, farm equipment dealers, graphic artists, livestock specialists, industrial parts manufacturers, jewellery designers, maple syrup producers, harness makers, greenhouse operators and feed mill owners. Despite the differ­ ences in their business operations, they share one common feature - dealing with bankers. Ms. McGlinchey has dealt with banks on both sides of the table. She worked as a commercial banker until five years ago when she set up her own loan negotiating firm, Major Mortgage Inc., in Stratford. In this work, Ms. McGlinchey assists small businesses in their efforts to obtain financing. She packages loan applications, presents documentations and meets the banker head-to-head in the loan negotiation. “The bank's main duty is to make low risk loans, not to give loans to every request. They have a duty to protect the depositors' funds.” Ms. McGlinchey stressed that bankers are not in business to have a heart. Their mandate is to look at business numbers and loan applica- Continued on page 22 Glassford, Grand Valley, averaging 1428 lbs. sold for an average of $77.95 to the high of $81.75.
