"I saw the whole picture. It just blew my mind."
It was 1993. Scott was sitting in a room with Mike — his boss — staring at a computer screen. Mike had just gotten approval from all three major credit repositories (TransUnion, Equifax, Experian) to distribute credit bureau access on CD-ROM. For the first time in history, mortgage brokers could log in and pull credit reports 24/7, from anywhere.
Before that moment, getting a credit report meant faxing, driving to an office, or waiting. It was completely manual. This CD changed everything — and Scott saw it instantly.
"I saw the whole picture. I mean, it just blew my mind. I said, 'You didn't tell me this was available.' And he goes, 'No, this hasn't been available. This takes a very special approval.'"
— Scott, Founder of Better Business Partners
Scott didn't just sell the software. He created training courses, set up telemarketing rooms, built fax campaigns, printed pamphlets — 12 or 13 different ways for mortgage brokers to market with this new tool. They were shipping thousands of CDs. And the secret? He wasn't selling the system based on features. He was selling it based on how crazy they could grow.
"I don't think about how much money I can make. I think about how much money I can make my customers."
Scott figured this out at a young age. If you can understand your customer's situation and combine your skills with their business to help them grow — you will always be successful. Not because you're chasing money, but because you're creating real value.
When he left Mike's company, he didn't leave the industry. He said: "I'm not going to leave this industry. This is too right. This is easy, easy, easy." He took that same approach — give people the tools, teach them how to use them, help them grow — and built it into Better Business Partners.
"I'm going to give them free tools, let them grow. And you know when they grow? They'll pay us. If they don't grow, we shouldn't get paid. That's it. That's all I'm going to do."
— Scott
The CD-ROM was the tool in 1993. AI is the tool today. The mission is exactly the same: give entrepreneurs the unfair advantage they need to compete, grow, and win.
Better Business Partners — Round Two
In 1993, Scott opened the marketing gate for mortgage brokers with a CD-ROM. In 2024, he's doing it again — this time with AI, for every entrepreneur who's ready to grow.
The Promise
This isn't marketing copy. This is how Scott has operated for 33 years.
"I will give up money. We have to make profit to pay everything and keep everything going — obviously. But you need to know that we will take care of you. If there are problems that come up, we're going to be on your side. We're going to do everything we can to fix them. I would rather take a bath financially on deals than let a customer down. That's just the way I operate."
