Motive-ating Relationships

The one thing that is prevalent in our “mortgage” industry, that’s “CHANGE”.  Change is not scary stagnation is.  My purpose is to “add value” to those whom originate loans and then hope in turn they will partner with me to get some done.  As an Account Executive my training and experience has come in handy being a top originator at one time.  In all my roles, what’s made me succeed?  I embraced change, always look to learn more, and build relationships.

TODAY, I wish to add value to everyone whom originates mortgages.  I used to do little things and teach other originators to do the same.  Some of these key tricks is what “got me” the numbers to earn the revenue coins, and recognition that I’ve gained through out sales.

SKILLS CHALLENGE:  On every pitch, I challenge you to ask every person, pre-approval or refi, “WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO EARN YOUR BUSINESS TODAY” or “WHAT IS IT THAT IS PREVENTING US FROM MOVING FORWARD TODAY” or “HOW CAN I TAKE THIS OFF YOUR LIST OF THINGS TO DO NOW”!

If you ask, they will answer.  Yes or no.  The cool thing is, in my LAW OF AVERAGES, I know the more “NO’s” I get, will get me closer to my next “YES”!

ASK AND YOU SHALL PREVAIL, continue dialing and you will get their faster.  EFFORT!

4 Things to mention on every call;

  1. About 1/3rd of the companies a client will talk to will PROMISE them a better deal than I present.  Only about 5% of those companies will DELIVER on that promise.  We do things differently, WHICH IS WHY I NEED YOU TO SEND ME YOUR INCOME UPFRONT> SO I CAN QUALIFY THIS CORRECTLY!
  2. The Average American does 8-10 mortgages in their lifetime with 8 different companies.  More than likely if they did those loans with the same person over time, they would have gotten better loans, and cheaper costs.  I want to be your Loan Officer FOR LIFE.  I want to help your KIDS Buy their first home.
  3. The Number ONE complaint in the mortgage industry is that things are different at the closing table than what was promised upfront.  With the new laws of closing cost disclosures it binds the companies that put things in writing so it can only change to a certain threshold.  The very fact that you will rate me on a customer satisfaction survey at the end of this is why I am asking for 5% of your trust up front and will earn the other 95% through the process.
  4. I am the only Loan Officer that you’ll talk to that will tell you up front I don’t have the “best rates and fees”, I have the most competitive rates and fees.  The fact is that most lenders are within an 1/8th of a percentage of each other or 500 dollars per costs difference.  It really is all the same anywhere you go.  More important now than ever before is to know whom your doing business with.

CLOSE CLOSE CLOSE CLOSE CLOSE>  It’s a numbers game.  Weather on the AE wholesale side teaching LO’s and Broker’s across the Nation, or directly on the phone, you ask for business you will get business.  Happy taking 1003’s today mortgage world! – JUICEMAN

THE MORTGAGE JUICEMAN HERE TO GIVE YOU ANGLES TO GET LOANS DONE!

Who is this Shawn, “I got a guy” guy?

Who is this “I got a guy” guy?  Who is http://www.themortgagejuiceman.com?

WHO is this Shawn “Juiceman” Devlin? A top producer at some mortgage company?

Nope. I once was, I did “been there done that”, but did retail and did it subprime. So I learned the hard way.  I learned actually how to read a title report and appraisal or inspection. Took a 1003 the long hand way without all the software we have now days.  I hit the cowbell 7 times in one day on multiple occasions. We would ding a bell when a “book” came back with all the TILA/RESPA disclosures with supporting income & assets for a mortgage application to be submitted.  The most mortgages I wrote in one day seemed to never go past 7… I just stayed consistent. And I have got boxes full of awards collecting dust. lol

So, where do I come from. Well in 1997, I walked into a car dealership a week from graduating high school from my small hick town. Went to a main street big city dealership with a smile, a suit, a great attitude and shit load of enthusiasm. Dressed in a suit with a clip board in hand holding my resume. I was there to report to the parts department regarding some clerical position I found in a Sunday news classified section. No shit. I can’t make this up. What happens next CHANGED MY DESTINY. And as I stood there in the middle of the showroom floor waiting holding a clip board in a suit, all the sales guys were smurking at me. I walked over the purple Plymouth Prowler in the middle of the show room floor and picked up the window sticker that wasn’t on the window but the front seat.  I placed it on clip board and started reading and going through in my mind what and where each thing noted was.  18′ Rims yada yada… All the sudden in deep reading a guy walks over with jeans with a hole in the knee and a white stained t-shirt.  The T-shirt had red stains on it that I just ignored and offered a warm enthusiastic hello.. Thinking I was waiting for him, not he was waiting for me…

In the proceeding next 4 or 5 minutes every sales person, parts person, clerical person watched me walk this guy around the car and do a formal 5 point touch.  (walking through each aspect of the car) With exception of actually sitting in it, starting it and driving it… I painted this guy the picture of the PURPLE Prowler going down his drive way.  When he asked me “how much does it cost?”, all I could do is smile and say actually, “I don’t work here!”.  KID YOU NOT.  I will never forget the next moments as the hand that touched my shoulder says “sure you do” why don’t you come in my office to the customer and I.  We walked into his office and the owner of 6 different chains of Marco’s Pizza buys it cash, and I get the “job”.

So that’s how I entered the world of sales.  And bought my first motorcycle.  lol. Key here; Enthusiasm is the key to persuasion without pressure.  Now I help others take 1003’s (Mortgage applications) and close home loans with my Motive-ating team.  Today I offer free consultations to LO’s to know how to drum up business.  I do free strategy sessions almost every day.  I do this all the time and coach broker owners to individual LO’s and help them add value to their clients and help them find more clients to help.  And as a result I have a ton of LO’s across the Nation that call me when ever they have a question that starts with “I got a guy…”  I’ve become a go to JUICEMAN for guidelines and tips to generate mortgage referral business and ways to put together mortgage loans.
