Branch Managers

Branch Managers Hiring Real Producers

by

As a branch manager, how do you attract new talent? In this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast nationwide for loan officers, I am joined by Travis Newton, a branch manager out of Oregon. 

This episode focuses on what criteria we both have used to seek out options vs. opportunities when bringing a new hire on. Travis gives us his viewpoint for the way he reads the potential in the loan officers he hires. 

Because he doesn’t have very much time to train from square one, he makes sure the LOs he brings on are established talent and can produce high volume for the company.  

Tune in to hear how my buddy Travis has hired not 1, not 2, but 3 – $100M+ producers in the last 10 months.

Back in Business Like Never Before

by

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast nationwide for loan officers, I sit down and chat it up with very special guest, Joan DeMarco. Joan is a loan originator out of Bonita Springs, FL and she is also the mother of one of our most inspiring mortgage coaches here at Mortgage Marketing Animals, Mr. Mike Cardascia.

It was a joy to hear how Joanie achieved her goal and took her business from $0 to $4.5 million after only one year back as a loan originator. 

A great deal of her success has been the strategy of reaching out and making the calls to qualified realtors. Setting up coffee chats or ice cream visits doesn’t include a sales pitch. Instead, she tells us how she genuinely asks about the other person, their business, and their family. 

This develops real relationships, which in the long run, brings in consistent business. You as a loan officer, are helping them and their clients achieve their own successes. 

Tune in to hear what actions she took as she made her way back into the mortgage industry that have led her to where she is today.

Video Continues to Be Front and Center

by

Listen in to the #1 podcast for loan officers in the country, Loan Officer Freedom, and join me as I chat with a very good friend of mine who also happens to be an advisor here at The Mortgage Marketing Animals, Ginger Bell.

Ginger and I recently co-wrote the book titled ‘Leadership Video Planner’, which lays out the a-z’s of how to make video, what to make videos about, and how to use those videos the most efficient way possible.  Within the pages of this book, we drop 52 ideas and topics for video creation. And as an act of coolness, we will even be sending you emails with examples of those ideas with purchase. Get your copy at www.LeadershipVideoPlanner.com. 

Studies show that video has taken over the digital world by bringing celebrity status to those that use it in the simplest ways possible. Gone are the days of an elaborate studio, excessive makeup, or even a perfect script. It’s all about being real, human, and who you are. 

Video not only humanizes you, which is a large part of building relationships in the mortgage business, but it allows people to get to know you even though you don’t know them (yet).

You’ve got to tune in to hear why I feel this is one of the most powerful tools I’ve ever used and why I believe Ginger and her incredible knowledge is a gift to the mortgage industry. 

Learn more about how you can use video in your marketing. Schedule a free call here with one of our coaches.
