Did you know it's easier to close 100s of loans per month (with a team) than it is to close 10 loans or less all by yourself?

Most Loan Officers think hiring help will cause even more headaches, but on this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast for LOs, I want to tell you why it's not...

Regardless of how much business you're currently doing, time is one of our most precious commodities, wouldn't you agree?

On this special edition episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast for Loan Officers, my dear friend Mr. Dave Savage himself and I will discuss how to close even more of your leads in less time.

Did you know that there is a study that was conducted by Mobility Market Intelligence that says, the top 1% of LOs in the U.S. (that's roughly 35,000 loan officers) have already closed 100 loans this year? Isn't that amazing? The thing is, not only is closing this amount possible, but it's possible for YOU! It's simply about knowing how to bring the leads in (which is what I help teach), and how to convert those leads (which is what we're going to talk about today).

Loan Officer marketing strategies are a fairly simple concept to understand. It’s very likely that you know which activities will be effective for you in your mortgage business, but still, 98% of Loan Officers don’t do them. Why? That’s what my brother from another mother, Scotty, and I will be talking about on this episode of Loan Officer Freedom.

It’s my mission to help loan officers not only succeed in business but in life, too! That’s why I want to help solve the issue of inactivity, share what the proactive “loan getting” activities are, and help keep you accountable for building relationships with referral partners. If you know what you should be doing, but you’re not doing it consistently. I want you to listen to this episode.

What does the job of a Loan Officer entail?

Voicemail is a simple and standard phone function, but it has a MAJOR impact on our business and the perception others have on us. Did you know that?

If you're like most loan officers, handing out your cell phone number is a best practice and I get it, I've done it too! Regardless of whether or not you're handing out your cell phone number, the question remains, is there an opportunity for your clients, referral partners, prospects, etc. to hit your voicemail...or worse...a message that says your voicemail box is full? 😱

Sometimes we don't even realize it, but when someone isn't able to reach us that could keep them from doing business with us. How many times have you heard agents say that they get frustrated when they are unable to reach their lender?

But we certainly aren't available 24/7 so what can we do?

We've found a great solution to be able to answer the phone at anytime...without YOU actually answering the phone. Tune in to hear how you can implement this solution.

"I lost 22 transactions due to the FHA credit crunch." How would you react if this happened to you?

After the economic crash back in 2008/2009 many of us in the mortgage industry lost a lot, if not everything. Is that true for you?

So how is it that Rayce, who seemingly "lost it all" has been able to stand tall, rebuild, and find major success as a Mortgage Broker in Florida? On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast for loan officers, I'm talking to my very dear friend Rayce Robinson to hear and share his story. It's a story that many of us can relate to and draw inspiration from.

What's the #1 activity that makes you the most money? 

Without a shadow of a doubt, I would bet it's having conversations...and no, not conversations about what's on page 2 of the bank statement. I'm talking about having conversations with people who can refer us business. 

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast for loan officers, I'm chatting with my friend and Freedom Club leader, Paul Dolan.

During this refi boom, LOs are finding it difficult to continue to be proactive in their business, unable to reach out to agents. Paul and his team have found a solution that works like gangbusters and is sharing the strategy and script with us today.

Is is safe to say you'd like to increase your salary?

Whether you've just started originating, or you've been in the business for a while chances are you've wondered what it takes to increase your production in order to earn even more income...and more freedom!

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast for Loan Officers, I'm sitting with one of the leaders in the Freedom Club - Kristen Jamieson. 6 years ago, Kristen moved from the mid-west to a small town in Florida, with virtually no connections making the decision to switch careers to become a brand new loan officer.

So how did she go from making $38,000 per year as a Loan Processor to making a healthy 7-figure salary as a Mortgage Loan Officer?

The Daily Success Plan.

She quickly put the daily success plan to work and in a matter of months she went from 0 - 16 closings per month. Without a doubt you can do the same.

If you're spending a lot of your time trying to find even more leads you're going to want to hear this...

You don't need more leads!

Unless you started in the business yesterday you have more than enough business to help you source even more loans, all without having to find brand new leads.

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast for loan officers, Mike and I are sharing exactly what you can do to get even more business from the leads you already have.

If you have referral partners, a past database, pre-approvals, etc. you already have the "leads" you need. Now, it's just about the scripting and the follow up. When it comes to overall client retention, the average loan officer has a retention rate of 22%. But here's the thing, with the right scripting and the right amount of follow up you can increase that amount by 300%! I know because I've seen it and my team does it all the time. Keep listening to find out how you can source even more business without getting more leads.

Have you ever run into this situation before?

Borrower: "What's your rate?"
You: [State your rate].

Of course you have, we all have! Here's the thing, borrowers have been trained and conditioned to ask about rates and that's okay. It's okay if some people shop us sometimes.

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom my dear friend and leader in the Freedom Club, Kevin Gillespie, and I will discuss how we handle rate shoppers and what you can do to BEFORE and AFTER they've asked the inevitable question...what's your rate? We're going to go over a few strategies and share a script with you.

If you're busy, you don’t have a “busy” problem, you have a “lack of help” problem. Understanding the huge difference between those 2 issues is the difference between the “prosperous, yet free” loan officer and the “busy, restless, and discontent” loan officer.

This week, I've decided to replay one of our Loan Officer Freedom classics with my dear friend, and leader in the Freedom Club, Mr. Rayce Robinson. Rayce has transformed his business from being the sole loan officer to a Mortgage Broker with a small team. 

But why should you even consider hiring someone to help you? How do you take that first step in hiring? Who do you hire first? What is your responsibility and what is their responsibility now that they are on your team? We'll go into all of that on this episode of Loan Officer Freedom.

It's not that our mentors have been lying to us, per se, but the information that is typically shared with us loan officers and branch managers just isn't truly helping us grow our business in the most efficient manner possible.

But all of that is going to change today!

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast for Loan Officers, Mike and I will show you how to start grow your business by 100%, 200%, even 300% or more with just a few tweaks.

On this episode we'll cover how to:

- Work with top producing agents

Why should a real estate agent refer to you? If you don't have at least 3 reasons you can list off immediately, you're going to want to hear this...

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast for Loan Officers, my dear friend Mike Cardascia and I discuss the 29 value propositions we use which just happen to be the same value props you can (and should) share with real estate agents you're currently working with and the agents you'd like to work with in the future.
