Host JP Hussey sits down this week with Atrion Faiola of NorthPort Funding. Atrion has spent almost 20 years in the industry, and has worked on both sides of the aisle. The two discuss making the most of the recent downturn, the cyclical nature of the mortgage channel, and the need to keep your foot on the gas even when times are tough. Atrion joined the mortgage channel right out of high school. As a teen, a next-door neighbor hired him on to his brand new mortgage business. He began at the very bottom: making cold calls. Eventually, during the recession, he left to join a major bank. He went through their LOA training program and found a niche in physician lending. Atrion was eventually appointed branch manager, a position he held for a number of years. When the branch folded, he used the severance payout to start his own shop. Atrion has seen it all in the industry, a fact that he uses to keep himself grounded. “I've been through so many cycles,” he says. “I remember when they invented the trigger lead… now the trigger lead is basically useless.” He points to a willingness to adapt and a motivation to overcome as crucial to his success. The downturn the industry is going through, he says, is just another in a long line. “It's a blessing in disguise for brokers. We're faster, more flexible, and we can hunt different opportunities.”  Atrion was initially attracted to the independent wholesale channel because of that indomitable spirit. He says that after watching Mat Ishbia and Anthony Casa speak at a Fuse event, he knew he had to make the switch. “You can't take your foot off the gas - stay motivated, believe in what you do, and use your downtime.”  When asked what advice he would give to brand new brokers, Atrion was quick to answer with some powerful words of wisdom. “1) Call financial advisors over real estate agents. 2) Align with real estate agents who match your personal style. 3) Never stop adding value - have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and share that knowledge with everyone you know.” Times:  2:00 - Background 6:00 - How is this downturn different? 10:00 - Why did you become independent?  17:00 - Asking powerful questions 25:00 - Process 33:00 - Closing advice This Episode is Sponsored By EPM Wholesale

Pat Grillo shares how a vendor decision cost his 35 year company over 10 million dollars in sales and how it changed his business and life for the better. Did that get your attention? It can happen to any entrepreneur. You choose a vendor partner that has products that your clients can use and you enter into a relationship with them that allows you to provide better pricing to your clients and higher margins to you. Over the years you build trust together and you have an increasing amount of your business that is built off that stream of revenue. But what happens when that vendor you trusted for years cuts you out of the picture and starts selling directly to the client at a lower price and then cancels your relationship with you so you can no longer sell their product? Think this is a rare occurrence in the world of business? It is not. Take a listen and learn what Pat Grillo and his team learned and did and what they had in place before the floor fell out that has enabled them to grow their business to a different level. Pat Grillo is the founder and CEO of Atrion Communication Resources, Inc (Atrion).  Atrion was incorporated in June 1985 as a reseller and integrator of state-of-the-art data communications equipment and services.   Pat is a pioneer in the computer networking, cyber security and advanced technology industries.  He was particularly instrumental in the creation of the value-added reseller (VAR) channel model that now forms the backbone of high-tech industry sales and service worldwide. Under Pat’s leadership over the past 35 years, Atrion has evolved into an information technology industry leader.   Prior to founding Atrion, Pat gained more than 10 years of experience in sales and management for several high-tech companies, leveraging that experience and knowledge to further Atrion’s success every year since its founding.      Pat’s experience and deep commitment to total customer satisfaction allows Atrion to specialize in working with Fortune 1000 companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Air Products, Armstrong World Industries, Dun & Bradstreet and Merck Pharmaceuticals.  He also established vendor-partnering agreements with a number of the leading pharmaceutical and financial companies in the New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania region. Additional career highlights include the co-founding of Atrion Networking Corp in 1988 and 1NService Corporation in 1997.  He served for two years as 1NService Board Chairman.  Pat is currently a member of numerous manufacturer executive advisory councils, member of CMP’s BoB Conference Advisory Board, Secure World Expo Advisory Board, Ingram Micro Security Advisory Board and ICS Board of Directors. Pat served four years in the United States Marines Corps and is a Vietnam Veteran.  Pat is committed to supporting Veteran and First Responder causes and has raised more than $50,000 for charities like Folds of Honor, NY Run for The Fallen, Wounded Warrior Foundation, NPower, Operation Shoe Box and several police & fire organizations. . In September 2019, Pat started the Atrion Charitable Foundation. The foundation will allow Pat to grow the company’s and Pat’s philanthropic endeavors. 

Channel conflict is an unavoidable fact. Despite the controls and efforts of channel leaders, vendors and partners invariably come into conflict by competing for the same business in the field. Partners generally accept that channel conflict will happen periodically and that they'll sometimes find themselves on the losing side of the conflict-resolution equation. What matters more to partners is how vendors try to mitigate conflict and adjudicate incidents. Failure to curb channel conflict can cost vendors and partners alike – and dearly. Atrion Communications is learning about the severe effects of channel conflict as its grapples with the aftereffects of one of its primary vendors taking a deal direct. Atrion lost $9.5 million on the deal, and a whole lot more. Atrion CEO Pat Grillo joins Pod2112 to share his story and discuss what vendors need to know about the consequences of channel conflict from a partner's perspective.
