A Podcast for Loan Officers Ready To Ramp Up Business
How To Use A Virtual Assistant To Help You Earn Even More!
I want to start off by saying how much I appreciate all of you who listen to this podcast and forward these episodes to your loan officer friends! It’s because of you that Loan Officer Freedom is the #1 podcast for loan officers in the U.S. On today’s episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with a dear friend of mine, Mr. Richard Smith himself. Many of you may know Richard, but if you don’t you’re in for a treat.
I think we’re all pretty familiar with the loan officer roller coaster; that is, one month our production is up but the next month we’re down. The number one reason why that happens is that we’re spending too much time IN the business instead of ON the business. You’re working on the files, chasing conditions, and putting out fires when your focus needs to be on building relationships with referral partners. But while you’re doing that who is going to help you with your files? That’s where a virtual assistant comes in…and that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today. We’re discussing:
- What a virtual assistant is.
- Where to find a virtual assistant.
- Why a virtual assistant is going to help you earn more in less time.

Focus On The Relationships You Already Have So You Can Close Even More Loans
On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the number 1 podcast for Loan Officers, Mike and I are talking about how you can optimize the relationships you already have. Wanna know why that’s so important? Because you don’t want to be so busy building the farm that you forget to milk the cows, and in this instance, milking the cows you already have can prove to be much more efficient and profitable (more on that in the episode).
When you focus on the relationships you already have you can get to the next level in your business even faster. A buddy of mine said about his restaurant that it’s much easier to get a one-time visitor to come a second time than it is to get someone in the doors the first time. In this episode, we’re gonna share exactly how to take advantage of that same concept for your business too. Listen up if you’re interested in hearing about:
- How to get a $100,000 raise using a simple strategy
- The scripts we use to get our agents and past database (the folks we’ve already done business with) to convert
- The one thing you can do right now to get your next deal

Earning More As A Mortgage Loan Officer Is Easier Than You Think
On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the number 1 podcast for Loan Officers in the U.S., I’m sitting and chatting with my dear friend Scott Griffin. Many loan officers think an increase in production means an increase in headaches and even more nights and weekends spent in the office. But what if I told that isn’t true at all if you do it right? My dear friend and leader in the Freedom Club, Scott, closed out 2019 with more than $1MM in earned income when just a few years ago he’d earned less than $70,000.
Scott is a broker and the sole producer in his office and he more than 10X his production over the last few years, while…get this…is spending LESS time in the office. How? That’s what we’re talking about today. We’ll touch on a few things that you need to do in order to earn more while doing less, including:
- What opportunities are available to you and what you believe you can achieve.
- Who needs to be on your team.
- How to overcome certain fears we have as loan officers.

How To Convert 30% + of your leads
On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast for loan officers, I’m chatting with my dear friend Doug Cadaret. Doug is a master when it comes to optimizing sales opportunities and today, we’re sharing with you the secret to converting 30% or more of the leads you bring in as a loan officer.
Way too often I hear loan officers say they need to generate even more leads, but what kind of leads are you generating? They first need to be quality leads. Once you have quality leads you then need to find out how many of those leads you’re able to convert. Typically, LOs are able to convert between 1% – 10% of the leads they generate. If you want to make sure you’re generating quality leads and convert at a higher rate, stay tuned to this episode of the podcast.
