Tag: Loan Officer Training

So I just got a message from Jennifer Roy, a super cool loan officer out of the Orlando area where she mapped out just how simple closing an extra few loans each month is…  Read on..

Here’s the message she sent:

“Had a call today with an agent for one of my preapproved clients – I met and preapproved this client today (referred by a friend) and called the buyers’ agent to connect after emailing her the preapproval.

I explained when I send updates that I’ll also call every Tuesday during the transaction to give file updates. Y’all – she referred me another buyer ON THE SPOT.

I have never in my career of 35 years had that happen. These scripts are powerful. Work the system, trust the system.

Just for additional clarity – this agent is not in my market, she’s several hundred miles from me, and I have never once spoken to her before.”

First of all, congrats to Jennifer for taking action and being a great inspiration for all of us.

She just reminds me how simple it can be and to just follow the plan.  Sometimes we / I get caught up in complicating the plan, and instead, we / I just need to do what actually works and follow a proven plan that now ten’s of thousands of LOs have started.

That’s it. 
1. Get a plan that is proven and actually works TODAY.
2. Follow that plan
3. Get results
4. Inspire others

Want to see the plan that Jennifer is using as a step by step roadmap, email our office at support@themarketinganimals.com with “Show Me The Plan” and I’ll hook you up.  <no charge>

Do you find yourself getting sucked back into the files once you’ve submitted the file?   
 
See, the problem with that is it’s not something we can grow with.   
 
Having a team that closed around $105,878,352 last month, one thing I have learned is, we have to act like we are a real business, or better yet, like we are the CEO of a big business. 
 
We can’t allow ourselves to be sucked into the files.   
 
We have to surround ourselves with amazing people…  People who can solve problems instead of asking us/you what they should do about a situation.    
 
I have this policy that has worked for me very well.  Any time somebody on the team asks me to solve a problem, I ask them “well, what do you think we should do?”, and then just be quiet and see what they say. 
 
I find that about 95% of the time, the solution they came up with is the right one, and it empowers them to make decisions in the future. 
 
Now, 5% of the time, perhaps they do something that I may disagree with, and sometimes that does cost me a deal or even a referral source.. 
 
.. however, because I/you can now focus on bringing in the next 20 loans and the next 20 referral partners instead of worrying about that “1”, well, I think you get the idea. 
 
We have to focus on the big stuff that really moves the needle and not concern ourselves with who parks where in the parking lot. 
 
That’s what I think, what do you think?
