| Ripoff Report Verified™ REVIEW: EDitor’s UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to for its commitment to excellence in customer service. Ripoff Report’s discussions with Commercial Capital Training Group have discovered a commitment by the company to total client satisfaction. This means that clients can expect that the company will work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any complaints or concerns. Commercial Capital Training Group listens carefully to any client concerns and is constantly improving their business based on suggestions and feedback from past customers. Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business.. The information provided in this report is based on comments made by Kris Roglieri during an on-site inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward Commercial Capital Training Group along with comments made to Ripoff Report. Commercial Capital Training Group’s principal, Mr. Kris Roglieri, has informed us that his personal philosophy for any of his multiple businesses is that his customers’ needs comes first. As a successful businessman, Mr. Roglieri feels it is critical to listen to his clients and respond properly. By always putting his organization’s customers first, Mr. Roglieri hopes to maintain Commercial Capital Training Group as a successful enterprise both now and for many years to come. Another top executive of the company told us that Mr. Roglieri’s personal business philosophy is based on a premise that "strives to add value in its services as they understand that a successful business model is based on value-added services, and client care”. Commercial Capital Training Group’s mission statement says it all: "Our goal is to provide our clients the best quality, value and professional excellence in the industry." Some of the other things Ripoff Report learned during our review: typical customer feedback reads: “Commercial Capital Training Group’s commitment to supporting us after training is nothing short of excellent”. “It has been over a year now and the support that I have received after training is just as good as the first day out of training”. “There are few companies that take as many steps in making their customers feel satisfied as Commercial Capital Training Group”. Commercial Capital Training Group targets any organization or individual looking to expand into commercial finance and becoming a commercial loan consultant. According to the company, their 7 day training is much more complete and comprehensive than competitors who usually have 3 to 5 day sessions. The training teaches between 40 and 50 different financial products as compared to competitors focusing on 15 to 20 products. Additionally, the training company also has exclusive access to Mr. Roglieri’s other companies in their Albany location and also in Rochester, NY. The training company’s access to lenders “in-house” is unique for this financial training. The instructors are not only financial trainers they are also financial lenders that bring that experience to the trainees. The purpose of the Commercial Capital Training Group is to seek to develop entrepreneurs to work in the field of commercial finance. The experience consists of on-site seven day training in all facets of underwriting, finance, and running an independent business. Consumers (trainees) are taught 45 different commercial financial instruments involving in person and conference call/webinars with commercial lenders representing different asset types. The training also enables the trainees to gain personal access to lenders. A critical component of the training is the support of the company to each trainee following the end of the on-site one week training experience. Lifetime support is offered by the company through 5 support staff members that are available by direct phone contact at any time following the conclusion of the training. The company advertises in financial trade and business publications as well as business opportunity and franchising journals (although it is not a franchise). Additionally, many of the potential clients may have a very specific business-type focus and are looking to branch out or expand their repertoire of financial products by gaining the knowledge from this training. As to turning leads into clients the process is with clearly conveying to potential clients all the “upfront” information about the training and the lifetime support following conclusion of the class. Currently, the company feels that they do not have any internal processes or procedures where there was a documented need for improvement. They have had earlier instances of both the change from a 5 day program to a 7 day program and also about making an internal change so that at the conclusion of the program all trainees now have a direct cell phone line to their on-staff support person. When the company first started out all “support calls” were required to be made to the office phone number during normal business hours. Based upon feedback where participants may be working on the west coast or on a project on a weekend it was determined that the support staff would provide direct cell phone numbers and be available “after normal hours” to address these concerns. In dealing with complaints, it was stated that the company feels they are an “open book.” They thought that they had not experienced what would be considered a true complaint; but rather, honest feedback from the trainees that have led to improvements to the program. As a case in point several attendees in early sessions indicated that the initial training sessions that were only five days in length was not enough to convey the information. This resulted in now once a month offering is a seven day session running from a Monday through the following Sunday. Another example of what might be considered a complaint was when individuals that had completed the program where having difficulty in getting phone calls returned from private lenders that were presenters during the week of training. In these instances the company’s support staff members have interceded on behalf of the trainees in getting lenders to communicate with the trainees on a timely basis. The company stated that they did not know of an instance or issue where a client/trainee was dissatisfied with their training experience. They stated that there have been some instances where following the conclusion of the classes where individuals did not have a clear understanding of some of the specific materials and needing a little “hand-holding” to help them to adequately complete a task. They spoke of two instances of reports on Rip-off where the claims were investigated and found not to be substantiated. They indicated that due to the confidentiality and anonymity of those complaints they do not believe these false claims were filed by program participants; but, perhaps by competitors. They also noted that they have received no complaints from the Better Business Bureau. The company feels that an important part of ensuring the trainee will not end up being dissatisfied with the training is that the company is very selective in who they will accept into the program. The company predetermines if the prospective attendee has the skills and knowledge to participate in the program and be able to work independently following conclusion of the on-site training. The biggest change to the company in response to “do whatever it takes” was extending the duration of the training from 5 to 7 days based on the feedback from the initial offerings. They feel it is important to educate the trainee prior to the start of the training as to what to expect during the training and being “upfront” on their commitment to the attendee before, during and after the conclusion of the week of on-site training. The other change that has been instituted that the owner of the company must be personally notified immediately of any reported complaint to ensure that all appropriate steps can be taken to resolve any issues. Commercial Capital Training Group feels that to be a part of the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program through Ripoff Report conveys the level of trust and demonstrates complete integrity to potential clients of his company. They feel individuals will know that the staff will handle all complaints professionally and will do everything possible to make things right. Commercial Capital Training Group recognizes that complaints posted on Ripoff Report (whether true or not) are issues that need to be addressed, not ignored. If handled correctly, complaints can be valuable learning opportunities. With the feedback generated by Ripoff Report’s review, Commercial Capital Training Group has made organizational changes allowing its clients a more streamlined approach to problem resolution and a commitment to a great client experience. In summary, after our review, which included discussions with executives at Commercial Capital Training Group, Ripoff Report is convinced that Commercial Capital Training Group is committed to quality delivery of services resulting in total client satisfaction. SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT THE ONE REPORT BELOW THAT WAS FILED ABOUT Commercial Capital Training Group: As a matter of policy, when a business becomes a member of the Corporate Advocacy Program they agree to allow Ripoff Report to contact every client who filed a complaint so they can make things right with them. In order to confirm that the complaints were resolved, Ripoff Report is copied on all responses so we can insure that the member business did right by their customer .. Commercial Capital Training Group did just that. It should be known the author of the Report below never responded to Ripoff Report so the company could make things right with them. NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED ---------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial Capital Training Group - Owner Kris Roglieri Prime Commercial Lending - Parent Company Commercial Capital Training Group - A Bad Bet for a Business Career Albany, New York I also attended the Commercial Capital Training Group (CCTG) course in Albany, New York. I concur with a previous Ripoff Report on this business entity and its principal. The previous report was very similar to my experience. I was told by another classmate that they had seen the Ripoff Report and even sent a copy of it to CCTG and Kris Roglieri prior to attending. The response he received was there was no one by this name who attended the course. that is likely because like myself they changed their name and location to remain anonymous. Second, the Ripoff Report said he was introduced to brokers not lenders. The response from an associate of Kris Roglieri responsible for marketing the training class told him that he would "personally meet lenders of the type impossible to find on your own." His experience and mine was you do NOT meet any direct lenders. There were a few personal presentations and only one could qulaify as a direct lender and this as a business partner of Kris Roglieri. In other words, in introduced us to a lender he was a invested in! You mostly spend five days calling other brokers affiliated with CCTG and Prime Commercial Lending via conference phone. These are scheduled one after the other such that your head is swimming. Breaks are scheduled for five minutes to keep you off-balance and to keep you from discussing the material in small groups. We had some very qualified and highly experienced people in our class. No one caught-on to the fact that these were brokers not lenders. After I got home I started contacting these "lenders" and found they had not disclosed all the qualification of their lending programs during the course...and theta they were actually brokers and not direct lenders. One by one the "lenders" we were introduced to were discovered to be unworkable and non-competitive finance programs. Therefore - think twice before dropping $20,000 plus in this training program. It is not worth it. There is no introductions to lenders and you will only figure out you have nothing to promote except high-cost finance programs to the most desperate of borrowers....you will end up being a legal loan shark and a referral source for brokers and nothing more! |

GOOD DAY,
I ATTENDED THIS TRAINING ABOUT 14 MONTHS AGO AFTER THE COMPANY I WORKED AT DECIDED TO DOWNSIZE. I DID NOT HAVE ANY PRIOR EXPERIENCE IN THE FINANCE WORLD SO I WAS WEARY ABOUT ATTENDING. HOWEVER AFTER A SPOKE TO A FEW PEOPLE THAT ATTENDED THE TRAINING I WAS MORE COMFORTABLE WITH MY ABILITY TO DO THIS BUSINESS. IT IS A LOT INFORMATION. 7 DAYS MAY SEEM LIKE A LONG TIME BUT IT GOES BY IN A FLASH. A LOT OF PRODUCTS ARE VERY EASY TO SELL AND ARE NOT THAT COMPLICATED. THOSE ARE THE PRODUCTS I TEND TO FOCUS ON. THIS TRAINING IS THE REASON I CONSIDER MYSELF A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS OWNER TODAY. I MAKE A GOOD LIVING DOING THIS AND IN THE END I’M HELPING BUSINESS OWNERS OR PEOPLE WITH THEIR PROBLEMS WHICH IS GETTING FINANCING. <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, FOLLOW"> YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD AT THIS VENTURE BUT THAT IS THE CASE WITH ANYTHING BUSINESS YOU START. A BIG HEADACHE THAT WAS TAKEN OFF MY PLATE IS THAT THEY PROVIDE YOU WITH A WEBSITE AND DO VARIOUS MARKETING COMPONENTS FOR ME. TRUST ME, THIS CREATES MORE TIME FOR ME TO LOOK FOR DEALS WHICH IS WHERE YOU WOULD WANT TO SPEND YOUR TIME. THE PEOPLE AT CCTG ARE EXCEPTIONAL WITH HELPING ME AFTER TRAINING WAS DONE AND HAS DONE A GREAT JOB TO DATE. IF ANYONE WANTS TO GET INTO THIS INDUSTRY THESE ARE THE GUYS TO DO IT WITH. I HAVE ALSO CLOSED MANY DEALS WITH THE TWO LENDING COMPANIES THE OWNER OWNS. IF YOU DO YOUR DUE-DILIGENCE YOU WILL LEARN THAT THESE GUYS NOT ONLY TEACH THE BUSINESS BUT ARE ALSO LENDERS AS WELL, AS WELL AS MARKETERS IN THE FINANCE BUSINESS. I MET WITH THE STAFF IN ALBANY BEFORE I ATTENDED AND THAT HELPED ME CONFIRM THAT THIS WAS THE OPPORTUNITY THAT WAS RIGHT FOR ME. THEY ALSO HAVE A GREAT BBB RATING WHICH MOST COMPANIES DO NOT.
BEST REGARDS,
OLIVER |
