What if I told you that the thing you’re afraid of—making that call, asking for referrals, or starting that conversation—could be the key to unlocking your best year yet? 

Fear is normal, but it doesn’t have to stop you. You’re stronger than your fear. And every time you take action, even a small step, you prove it to yourself. 

Why You’re Capable of More 

Fear is just your brain trying to keep you safe, but here’s the truth: The top-producing LOs aren’t any different than you.  They just do different activities and hang out with other top originators. 

Every call, every email, every conversation you’ve been avoiding is an opportunity. And with each step you take, no matter how small, you build confidence. The more you act, the more unstoppable you become. 

A Quick Success Story 

Let me tell you about James, one of our members. He was nervous about calling realtors and avoided it for months. But one day, he decided to take action. 

His first call was shaky, but he did it. And then he did it again. By the end of the week, James had made 11 calls. By the end of the month, he’d built partnerships with two top-producing agents. 

James didn’t just grow his business—he grew his confidence. Now, what once scared him feels like second nature. 

If James can do it, I believe that you can too.

We all know the saying: “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” But did you know that tackling hard tasks doesn’t just build character—it literally builds your brain?

That’s right. When you push yourself to do something challenging—like building relationships with realtors or handling objections—you’re not just improving your business skills.

You’re rewiring your brain to think smarter, act more confidently, and handle stress more effectively.

Let me explain.

The Science of Brain Building

Your brain is an incredible organ. When you take on something hard, it undergoes a process called neuroplasticity.

This is your brain’s ability to grow and adapt by creating new neural pathways.  (I always knew my master’s degree in Bio-Chemistry would help me some day…)

Think of it like a muscle: when you work out, your muscles tear and rebuild stronger. The same thing happens with your brain when you challenge it.

• Handling Objections: Each time you respond to an objection like, “I already have a lender,” your brain learns to stay calm and think on its feet.
  
  
• Building Realtor Relationships: Reaching out to agents, even when it’s uncomfortable, trains your brain to approach new situations with confidence.

The more you do these hard things, the easier they become—not just because you’re gaining skills, but because your brain is becoming stronger and more adaptable.

Ken’s Story: A Case Study in Brain Building

Let me tell you about Ken, one of our members.

When Ken started reaching out to real estate agents, he felt stuck. He dreaded the conversations and worried about rejection.

Every “no” felt like a punch to his confidence.

But instead of giving up, Ken leaned into the discomfort.

He saw it as a chance to grow—not just in his business, but in his mindset.

He started reaching out to agents regularly, practicing how to handle their objections.

At first, it was tough.

But with every conversation, his brain adapted. He got better at thinking on his feet, staying calm, and finding ways to connect with agents on a deeper level.

Fast forward a few months, and Ken was closing 8 more deals per month from realtor referrals alone.

More importantly, he gained a level of confidence that carried over into every part of his life.

That’s what happens when you embrace the hard stuff.

Why This Matters for You

Here’s the truth: The tasks that seem hardest—like building relationships with realtors or handling objections—are the ones that bring the most growth.

Each time you push through discomfort, you’re training your brain to:

• Think creatively in high-pressure situations.
• Handle rejection without losing confidence.
• Stay focused and calm when things get tough.

And once you’ve built that mental strength, everything else in your business—and life—feels more manageable.

I came across a story the other day on a Facebook group. A loan officer was stressing over a prospect quoting a super-low rate from another company.

They were looking for scripts to reel the borrower back in, but here’s the thing: by the time they’re shopping, it’s often too late for a script to work. This kind of stuff can drive you nuts, right?

Here’s my take: it’s all about the first conversation you have with them. (Don’t worry—I’ve got a killer script for that below!) But before that, let’s talk strategy.

I’ve found that for every 4 leads, we close 1 loan. My team and I have closed tens of thousands of loans (literally), so this formula has proven itself.

About half of the leads are approvable, and we close around 50% of those.

The rest? They either decide not to move forward or they shop around.

Instead of chasing shoppers like herding cats, we focus on what actually works: Getting More High-Quality Referred Leads.

We’ve developed 4 proven strategies to do just that—zero cold calling, no gimmicks, just solid, actionable tactics. And I’d love to share them with you on a quick Zoom call… for free. ☺

Now, about that script for shoppers: use it before they start shopping. Here’s what it sounds like:

“Ok Bob and Sue, based on our conversation, it looks like your monthly payment will be $[insert], with a down payment of $[insert], and total funds to close at $[insert]. If I can deliver on those numbers, will you commit to me being your lender so my team and I can get started to ensure we close on time?”

If they say yes, they’re in.

If not, you’ve identified a shopper and saved yourself a ton of time.

But here’s the kicker: even with the best scripts, the real key is getting more referred leads.

Let’s connect and talk about how to get more of those high-quality referrals.

You’ll never let one deal going sideways ruffle your feathers again when you’ve got a steady flow of leads.

Let’s make this easy and profitable for you. Can’t wait to chat!

Of course we all know that the quickest, easiest, and most dependable way to get more closings is simply to “ask for the business”.

It just seems the stumbling block for most is, that they feel “weird” about asking for the business, so they never actually do it.

The real issue is, that most struggle with feeling “worthy” of asking for the business.  Like they have to do something first or juggle a bunch of bowling balls and rubber chickens to impress everybody first, then they feel worthy of asking for referrals….

So there are all kinds of shiny whistles and “widgets’ being offered to LOs, that “If you do this, then referral partners will like you and refer to you”.

The problem with those things, is most of them take a lot of effort and time…

….Time that you could be spending doing actual loan-getting activity.  Instead, most of these things have you “getting ready” to do actual loan-getting activity as opposed to actually “doing” loan-getting activity. 

See the difference?

“Getting ready” is a colossal waste of time, money, and effort; all while actually not directly producing borrower leads / referrals.

Worse, when we do all that extra (and not necessary) “getting ready” activity, resulting in no new loans, it poisons our minds into thinking that we did a bunch of activity, spent a lot of time doing it, perhaps spent a bunch of money, but nothing actually happened, thus there is no need for me to do any more work as it won’t actually result in new loans. 

Nothing could be further from the truth.  

We just simply have to do some of the “right” activity…

… all while avoiding the “getting ready” or “busy” work… which will actually hurt your production because it keeps you from the “right” activity.

Now, I’m not saying all “widgets” are a waste of time and energy.

I use a select few in my mortgage branch, and my loan officers use some very effectively too.

I put together a list of 28 value propositions (some are widgets, most aren’t) .. that actually result in more closings for us, with very very little wasted energy (if any at all).

Going over these easy value propositions is what I am talking to my loan officers about this week.

These all make it very easy to ask for, and actually GET MORE referrals in a very cool way.

… Which results in more loans for us… A LOT MORE!

Talk soon.
