What would life look like for you if you were able to drastically increase your production? Think about that for a moment. On today’s episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the number 1 podcast for loan officers, I’m talking to one of the leaders in our Freedom Club, Cody Heard! Cody joined our mastermind program about 6 months ago and in the first 4 weeks saw a dramatic change in his production by using one of our most successful strategies. 

Listen to this episode to find out exactly what that strategy is and how Cody went from closing just 4 loans to 17 loans per month in 4 weeks.

We all want to increase our volume in order to increase our income, but what needs to happen within our day to day business activity to actually have that happen?

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast for Loan Officers, I’m talking to one of our leaders in the Freedom Club, Jeff Stempler who has taken the action needed to double his income. With the help of his team (more on that in the episode) Jeff has been able to focus on what he does best, bring in business.

As Loan Officers or Branch Managers, it’s commonplace to know you “need” to be available 24/7 to answer calls, send out pre-approval letters, attend open houses, etc. But is that really how we need to be operating our business?

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast for Loan Officers, I sit down with my dear friend Jen Du Plessis, a follow Mortgage Industry leader, as we discuss why being available 24/7 isn’t the way you should operate your mortgage business and how we’ve been able to turn our professions into what I like to call a lifestyle business. A business model that allows us to run a successful mortgage business with epic results without having to work nights and weekends.

One of the biggest mistakes we find a lot of loan officers doing is leaving opportunity on the table. Some loan officers believe offline lead generation is the best way to get in front of the customer and is the only way you should be marketing. While others believe the modern, convenient, and easiest way to get in front of the customer is by using online marketing tactics. My response every time to these statements is…do both! Combine your efforts so there is no opportunity left on the table.

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast for Loan Officers, I’m talking to my good friend and business partner, Chris Johnstone, who is a master of online marketing. What he and I have done is combined our expertise from both an online and offline marketing perspective to get the best of both worlds. We use both online and offline marketing strategies to get in front of our customers by:

• Marketing to our past clients.
• Marketing to potential referral partners.
• Marketing directly to the consumer.

In this episode, you’ll learn

• Which 3 campaigns you can use on Facebook today.
• How quickly you can expect to get leads & how quickly those leads turn into closings.
• How to use Facebook & traditional offline marketing tactics together.
