The Pick 6 of Mortgage over the next 9 months will be the lenders who use persona based bots verse the owners who listen to their own people who got them here and are hiring right now. A pick 6 is when you are going into score has the team thinking you are going to go up 3, and if it goes the other way and the team scores intercepting your touchdown, you are now down 11 (2 scores). One major player in the mortgage industry told me he sees 60-80 basis points being the swing of the industry pick 6. If you have persona based bots you don't need to hire and can handle any uptick in volume. In the next 6-9 months if we have a boom, at least 4-6 of the months handling it all with no new hires will have gotten you enough money to hire more sales loan officers then you would have dreamed of in the last 2 years. You may need more underwriters for the record, but everyone and anyone else I am seeing unfortunately is from a company who does not understand or see what my clients see. Some of the coolest names in mortgage are choosing this strategy and when you see them in 6 months leveraging their logo plus the extra "found money", you will realize you were transactional and not transformational. A Bill'ism I learned this week.

When it comes to establishing 'Successful Referral Partnerships' and empowering Mortgage brokers to identify their professional counterparts, it's crucial to approach the process strategically. Understanding the needs of potential partners and articulating the benefits of collaboration is key to minimizing resistance and securing a meeting. During these discussions, direct communication is essential, with a focus on securing a commitment to a mutually beneficial partnership on the spot. When exploring partnerships for brokers, it's important to consider who you would want at your table and envisioning the ideal collaborators for your business. By implementing a refined Referral partner strategy through effective training, unnecessary complexities can be eliminated, enabling swift and efficient progress. So, when considering and seeking professional partners as a mortgage broker, ask yourself "Who would you invite to your table?"

When I first started in the mortgage industry I worked for a shop that had all of their new brokers cold call. We were given a list and told to smile and dial. On a bad day, I’d hit 75 numbers, a good one, close to 200. My ability to bring in deals was through the roof. My closing ratio, on the other hand, was less than 2%. As time went on, I learnt the power of networking, events, and most of all, referrals. Cold calling is so important in a lot of industries, but I constantly question why it didn’t work for me.. Is it because the commercial mortgage industry is so high level that real owners have relationships. Or was it because I just had no idea what I was doing. Any new team members with Fortune Capital still cold call, but first we have them underwrite, sit in on deal meetings, and instead of calling 200 people a day, we try to keep it to 20-30 targeted daily calls. Curious to hear your thoughts and what’s worked for you.
