As a loan officer, you face a number of challenges in your business that can make it difficult to achieve the level of success you desire. From generating leads and building relationships with realtors, to time management and marketing, the list of things to do can seem overwhelming. But there is a solution that can help you overcome these obstacles and achieve your goals: mortgage coaching.

Mortgage coaching is a powerful tool that can help you develop the skills and strategies you need to succeed in your business. Whether you’re struggling with lead generation, time management, or any other aspect of your business, a mortgage coach can provide you with the guidance and support you need to overcome these challenges and achieve your goals.

One of the biggest challenges that loan officers face is generating leads for realtor referrals. Without a steady stream of referrals, it can be difficult to build a successful business. A mortgage coach can help you develop effective strategies for generating leads and building relationships with realtors, so that you can increase your referral business and grow your business over time.

Another common struggle for loan officers is time management. With so many tasks to juggle, it can be difficult to stay organized and stay on top of everything. A mortgage coach can help you create a time blocking system that works for you, so that you can better structure your activities and make the most of your time.

Building the right team with the right people is another challenge that many loan officers face. A mortgage coach can help you identify the right people to work with and develop effective strategies for building a strong, cohesive team that can help you achieve your goals.

Learning the best daily practices to bring in referrals and how to market to your past database can also be a challenge for loan officers. A mortgage coach can help you develop effective marketing strategies that will help you attract new business and keep your past clients engaged and interested in working with you again in the future.

Scripting to use when reaching out for meetings with real estate agents and building lasting relationships with realtors can also be challenging. A mortgage coach can help you develop effective scripts and communication strategies that will help you build strong relationships with realtors and increase your referral business over time.

Being part of a supportive community of like-minded loan officers is another key benefit of mortgage coaching. A mortgage coach can help you connect with other loan officers who are facing similar challenges and provide you with the support and accountability you need to stay on track and achieve your goals.

Finally, having structured processes for a smooth and flawless transaction is critical to the success of any loan officer. A mortgage coach can help you develop effective processes and systems that will help you streamline your business and ensure that every transaction is a success.

If you’re a loan officer looking to succeed in your business, Mortgage Marketing Animals and The Freedom Club mortgage coaching can be an incredibly valuable tool. With the guidance and support of a mortgage coach, you can overcome the challenges you face and achieve your goals.

Let’s give you a free demo of what the top producers do in our high level Freedom Club Mastermind group.   <no charge>

 

The #1 question that lower producing LOs are asking right now is….

“What do I do next?”

Yep, that’s the #1 question the vast majority of LO’s ask themselves multiple times per day.. or even per hour!

They walk into their office, “What should I do first?”

They finish checking their social media accounts, “What should I do next?”

They check to see what the rates are today, “Now what should I do next…”

… and on and on and on, until they leave their work desk (usually way later than they and their family / friends / pet wants them to…

…all while their monthly production continues to have them concerned (with good reason).

They spent almost no time on actual “getting loans” activities…

Ouch!

It’s not their fault though. 

Here’s the thing, most have no structure for their day, because nobody has ever shown them the activities that top producers do on an hour by hour basis.

And what ends up happening is, the LOs end up looking for new things to do instead of doing more of what we know already works, and scheduling their day AHEAD OF TIME.

Which keeps them right where they are currently at in their number of closed loans.

Look at what specific activity brought in your last 10 loans, and do that the first 2 hours of Monday – Thursday.

I always take Fridays off to reward myself for being focused on the 32 hours that I work Monday – Thursday.   It’s my carrot for doing things right.

And even with taking Friday’s off, my own personal mortgage team averaged 397 closed loans PER MONTH last year and we are expecting to beat that this year. 

(of course I have help, that’s part of “what’s working now” no matter where you are now)

It’s not about working more hours, it’s about structuring your day to do “what’s working now” FIRST, then all the “busy work” AFTER you do your lead generating activity.

If this message strikes home for you, I’ll map out what specific activity is bringing in the most amount of leads now (without buying anything), and how we structure our days around that activity.

Meet me here and I’ll totally hook you up <no charge>

 

Gentlemen, this is a football!”  That is one of the most famous and often used sports quotes in history.

However, most don’t know its real history or how to apply it to their mortgage businesses and lives… read on..

Vince Lombardi kicked off the first day of training camp for his Green Bay Packers football team.

The prior season had ended in a heartbreaking loss to the Philadelphia Eagles after blowing a lead in the 4th quarter of the NFL Championship Game.

When the players came in to start training camp, they expected to immediately begin where they left off and work on ways to advance their game and learn fancy new ways to win the championship in the new season.

But when they sat down and began, Vince Lombardi held up a football and said, “Gentlemen, this is a football!”

He then had everyone open up their playbooks and start on page one, where they began to learn the fundamentals – blocking, tackling, throwing, catching, etc.

That was clearly not what they expected as players who were at the top of their game, but had indeed lost a “sure win” Superbowl the year before.

This hyper-focus on fundamentals allowed them to win the NFL Championship that season 37-0 against the New York Giants.

Vince Lombardi went on to win five NFL Championships in seven years. He never coached a team with a losing season after that and never lost a playoff game again.

If focusing on fundamentals can elevate a great team to such heights, imagine what it can do for your mortgage business and life.

We are often putting time, energy, and money into looking for the next magic bullet, magic bean, quick fix, or business trick. Instead, we should focus on the fundamentals.

One of the greatest mistakes loan officers make is NOT focusing on the fundamentals. They often don’t even realize what their business fundamentals are.

If we have not identified the fundamentals – we cannot work on continual improvement of them!

“Magic tricks” mean nothing if the loan officer isn’t doing the work to make the phone ring.

Special “closing techniques” do no good without actually picking up the phone and talking with somebody.

Having great service and competitive rates is pointless if we don’t do what’s necessary to actually talk with clients. 

The most successful people you can think of in sports, music, acting, and other areas never stop working on the fundamentals. However, in business, we seem to think we already have it down. Seldom is that the case!

Like Vince Lombardi and his team, we need hyper-focus on the fundamentals to make us more successful and get to the next level.So, let me ask – how much time, energy, and money have you wasted looking for some magic fix that didn’t exist?

Do you even know the 4 most critical fundamentals you need to succeed in your mortgage business?

How much could focusing on them benefit your team, your business, and you? If you don’t know or don’t like the answers – we should chat.

The cost of not knowing the 4 critical fundamentals is likely costing you a fortune… without even knowing it.
