#ThrivinThursday – Ok, if I go to a website and within 30 seconds something doesn’t tell me your available to chat or prompt me to enter a name, phone or email address, I might not stay on it. If I am surfing your website, I’m intentionally there. So wouldn’t your clients be too. I wonder how many leads you miss because you’re not collecting the opportunity to have them opt-in. If you go to close the website does a pop up come along and say “WAIT – click here!”??
Same thing for a fan page on social media, many have “buttons” at the top of the page, is it taking them to a sign up form, again collecting name, phone number and email addresses? If not your missing leads! Bottom line is make it easy for the technology you pay for (or in Facebook’s instance free) to actually gain you leads. In fact, I would have my PERFECT LO application link in the sign up button on the fan page and I would intentionally invite people to my page to fill it out. Makes sense to me, why not utilize that button to the fullest. 🙂
#WisdomWednesday – Plan Do Check Act, in every aspect of your business. Where you communicate should be checked, (is it the best medium) how you advertise, to when you strike for the sale, is there automated follow up, to the actual client/customer experience. Enhance and upgrade your game if you want to grow. There is no other way around it. My advice, do some planning and make a plan of attack. Then take MASSIVE ACTION, and do a lot of DOING. Then go back and assess/check your results, then optimize and change based on the NEW FOUND INFORMATION! Know what works best. What works well in one corner of the country may not work well in another. The idea is to grow, and you can’t grow without #CHANGE. The best way to know what to do is to analyze what’s working and what’s not. Where you gain feedback from complaints to common dropped balls. Assessing your performance even your HR does yearly. Who’s got one of those coming up??
In order to THRIVE and really grow in sales you must always be DOING a lot of DOING, and then change up what works and what doesn’t. RE TARGET your own sales strategy, your own method to your madness. Make efforts to stick your neck out there and then realign with what works and what doesn’t. That’s how you grow. PLAN DO CHECK ACT! Remember that.
#SponsoroftheWEEK ** PERFECTLO.COM is an interactive 1003 application that can help you take more applications while you’re busy doing something else. Imagine being in a meeting or driving down the road, a client calls and you say, “Sounds great, I would need you to go to my Facebook Fan page and click on the SIGN UP button and fill out the application. I will call you once I get done.” or Something along those lines. lol Bottom line, use resources, all in front of you to grow.
#TwoforTuesday – Time for a great Article to shine in the feed. Something that gets you going and helps you think of the next best way to gain business. How to set yourself apart from others. This is what it’s about. 1. – Creating Omni-presence in your market place so you are seen as a go to person, and 2, – Differentiating and adding value that your competition does not! This is what can help you stand out from the crowd and be the preferred LO for your agents.
Creating Omni-Presence in any field is easy now days, it’s all about how many “see” your messages, engage, or often times scroll by, but they saw your advertisement. – Yep I’m talking social media again, and many see my posts daily and read it, take tips, guidelines etc, and I am looked at as an industry go to guy. You can too for your local area. One of the most advantageous ways to do is this by having a Facebook fan page that you use to “promote” your referral partners. You can pull a post from that Realtors page, or tag the realtor in the post, or better yet give them a raving review. The more you do these things the more opportunity you have for exposure. Syndication is key! And what I mean is get other “people” to interact with your posts, even ask them straight up to do so. Create that Omni-presence over time by being CONSISTENT, and add value and content others can use. VIDEO is a big way to do this. But even just posts with pictures and growth in your exposure in many areas can help others “SEE YOUR NAME ALL OVER THE PLACE”. And when that happens, you gain authority, you gain that Omni-presence your looking for. It doesn’t take much to be honest, it just takes time, and persistent adding of value. It has nothing to do with like’s or comments, and has to do with how many times people see your messages.
I teach tricks to do just this, and show others how to use a Fan Page for marketing purposes to gain FREE leads. I also show others whom want to run paid ads the most effective and efficient way to do it. (A done for you solution!) #hitmeup Click here to get the BLUEPRINT
2. Making an impact in your market can start with differentiation between you and the “other guy”! I offer something from my wholesale sales channel that can help you LO’s stand out! It’s a way to offer a client Down Payment Protection and can help you be unique with your marketing as you see the yard sign above. Just this alone could drive traffic to see a home for the purpose of those interested in protecting their investment. What’s funny actually if you think about it in the mortgage industry is there is protection for the seller in contracts, protection to the buyer on the home with a warranty, legal signage and other contract law all designed to protect something involved with a mortgage transaction…. All but one thing is protected in the current market place, THE DOWN PAYMENT the buyer/borrower brings to the table!! Now you have a solution that can help you STAND OUT IN THE CROWD and protect a borrowers down payment on a home. If the houses value drops in the relative area within 7 years of purchase and they are moving, the down payment is protected!! Check out these FACTS:
Millennial’s will be driving the market’s of many things to come in the future. Much like the Baby boomer generation did. Here’s some additional speculation;
The average person is not staying in the same home 30 years now days. They are moving or doing some additional transaction with a 3-7 year time frame typically. More and more are moving in this window, due to increase family size or new job for example. This is just one way to differentiate and those that partner with me can offer this to your clients. Hit me up, I can show you how to do both, add a ton of value to your network and STAND OUT with products no one else has. (and there’s a big need).
#MondayMotivation – What I do well is close FHA/VA loans. I ♥ these loans. I coined the “I gotta guy” questions for a reason. While I have a full suite of products these are my strong suits. I also help LO’s learn how to advertise on Facebook and JUICE their pipelines big time. Focus on what you do well!
*Sponsor #OftheWeek is PERFECTLO 1003 application. Here’s a short video that explains it all #Checkitout PERFECT LO VIDEO !
#WeekendCalltoAction – Show’em you have a pulse! Get involved! Do some cool activity for the kids!!

#ThrivingThursday – Social Media pay’s dividends to those that work it right. It is a new art called “social selling”! Some don’t realize that you can use social media backwards. Yes, you can connect with those you know, but more importantly start using to connect with people you don’t. I’ve been teaching my #BLUEPRINT product which is a step by step guide on how to build a Facebook Fan page and learn to leverage it for FREE EXPOSURE! And it works wonders!
I am getting feedback that LO’s are networking with new referral partners as well as gaining more leads FREE on social media. Just saw feedback from another LO doing this and social media has helped him go from 4-7 apps a week, to 4-7 apps a DAY! KILLING IT!!!
For those that don’t know, there is TWO ways to do this, the FREE organic way (which I teach to all in my network) or to use PAID ADS to help you gain more qualified clients. The results are self explanatory, what would you do with another 80-100 leads per month? What I teach is how to generate leads free first, as what this does is prepares your page for a paid advertisement (funnel) to get more results. The purpose is to create leverage and increase click through ratios so more people fill out your (short or long form) and the cost per click becomes less.
Once you see results and are provided analytic’s that show you buyer or seller leads being generated at approximately 3 dollars or less per lead, or VA/FHA leads being generated at 8 dollars or less per lead…. Well bye bye Zillow! Why pay 40-80 dollars per lead when you could be getting them EXCLUSIVELY for yourself at a FRACTION of the cost. WOW is what I have to say! I am changing people’s paychecks and would love to include you. Weather you want to learn more yourself by the “free” way or you are interested in “paid ads” to boost your lead count like yesterday… 🙂

#WhackedOutWednesday – What a great success story to use as an example, a Broker of mine recently closed a FHA 203H loan, where the client brought ZERO down and gets a check for 4 grand at closing!! Talk about balancing a file and maximizing the benefit for the borrower. What a great success story. \
It is #WhackedOut that most LO’s and Broker’s either don’t know how, or don’t take the time to do this in advance to advantageous to the borrower. Many just let the escrow’s/title and the closing docs be minimized or let me say, not maximize the seller credits if any. I personally preach and teach LO’s to help them balance their files in advance, know exactly how the file should unfold and hold the hand of escrows and even the lender if needed to be the best situation for the borrower.
This weeks #SPONSORoftheWeek is LEADPOPS, an interactive landing page that can replace your non-converting websites, it makes converting prospects into paying clients easy. #Checkitout —-> CLICK HERE TO TAKE YOUR MARKETING TO THE NEXT LEVEL – LEADPOPS

#TwoforTuesday – Two updates are in the horizon. DU 10.1 is almost here! The programming for DU seems to happen every year about this time, and it will be interesting to see what they do in the next year, year and a half with the GSE’s 7 year exemption coming up. Yep, remember QM was to make all loans at 43% DTI max! And the GSE’s only had a hall pass for 7 years. We are coming close to the end of this window, and will anticipate some announcements on this in the coming future.
#SellWell – Check out the #SponsoroftheWeek, LEAD POPS
#MondaysMotivation – You have to “believe it” before you “see it”! In all cases of sales, you have to have a plan, and then take massive action on that PLAN! The “doing” is what will make you see it as you have in your mind. There is no doubt, I have seen many new LO’s come in and absolutely CRUSH IT, while those that have been in the game a while are slow! WHY? Well they aren’t setting up automation, sales funnels or landing pages or out there GRINDING!!! Take massive action this week. That’s #MondaysMotivation for you.
#SponsoroftheWeek – LeadPOPS – A landing page website that makes it easy to take names, phone numbers and emails to help you serve your purpose! #Checkitout
If your ready for you to start believing in the power of social selling and want to start with organic leads first so you can reinvest your profits in paid ads, let me help you with the BLUEPRINT! A way to organically gain exposure, relevancy and results with your Fan page. The BLUEPRINT is HERE!
I am always looking for lenders and Broker’s that want to expand their product lines and gain a true partner to help them close loans. Fill in below, #LetsworkTogether
#WeekendCalltoAction – I bet you have a few Realtors you may network with, but what about Insurance agents? What about CPA’s? Builders perhaps? Do you have a go to credit repair guy? How about a divorce attorney you network with? Yep, I figured you may have heard of this before, but you still don’t have 10 other people besides RE Agents sending you leads?
Here’s the #CalltoAction – Use social media to help yourself network and start to engage with the best in your area. This weekend look up Builders, and search by pages on Facebook. Do the same with other potential referral partners. Insurance agents are a great one. In fact, let me ask, what would you as a LO look for in insurance agent referral partners? (leads?) That might not be the best two way street, but you may be able to get more knowledge on homes and what to help your client to look out for. I know RE Agents get some of their knowledge from the insurance agents. Why not go to the source for value, and in turn send them a lead.
My point is there is other reasons besides leads in general to network with a partner that can add value to your client in the process of buying a home. Heck who knows that insurance agent could make your DTI work with a lower premium on a refi too! (there’s always that one deal). So use social media, LinkedIn, Facebook etc, and look up the prominent social presence of the top guys/gals in your area. You can use a fan page/business page to network with to help you actually get in the door. You don’t need to know them upfront.
Remember this, perception is reality. And when someone starts to see your name on likes and comments, over time you get to “know” that person. In fact, about 8 times is the lucky number. So all you need to do is engage with someone 8 times on social media and you could potentially have the ability to turn a cold call into a warm one.
