Thanks for Meeting With Me

Theresa, It was great meeting with you and brainstorming about your goals, the challenges you face, and potential solutions. Here is a recap of our conversation.

01

Increasing Your Personal Production

You had said you would like to have personal production of perhaps 2-3 closings per month, yet you may need a few more agents to consistently produce that number. 

02

Building Your LO Sales Force

Additionally, you would like to have 1-2 LOs join your firm, however you have not lead a team of LOs in the past and they may need a weekly game plan to meet with agents. So there are two challenges, first to recruit the LOs, and secondly to equip them.

Build Your Team of Agents

Historically, an LO safely needs 7-10 productive agents to close $1,000,000 in loans per month, provided the mortgage amount is about $200,000 per loan. Of course the challenge is most “productive agents” already have some type of relationship with an existing LO and that LO is not just going to back down. The other LOs will fight to retain those relationships.

Mortgage products generally do not sway an agent to shift their loyalty or their mortgage referrals.

It must be something about you. It is not your brand. It is not your mortgage products. It is you adding value in areas that are agent-centric, not focused on your mortgage ability.

Nor is it your credit card paying for agent leads. You are not an agent’s “Sugar Daddy” whipping out your credit card only to discover that is not how to build a relationship or loyalty. Nor can you give agents listing or buyer high-quality leads, it is not sustainable.
You must add value in order receive referrals.

The Coaching Program

Session 1

We hit the ground running by evaluating the production level of your current referral agents. Through MLS records, we will identify the agents production numbers:

Current Agents

  • Last 12 months buyer closings units and volume
  • Through the tax records verify which mortgage companies those agents / their buyers used to close those transactions
  • Current listings the agents have to determine if you are working with their sellers that are now buyers

Potential Dream Team Agents

  • How many more agents you need
  • Who you believe is a potential agent for your team
  • Are they capable of creating at least 5 closings based on MLS stats

Before we begin the journey of building your DREAM TEAM, we need to know who is on your current team, and identify potential players. We have often found that the LO has not clearly identified “how many, who is needed, and how to meet them.” We will accomplish that very quickly.

Session 2

We will review / evaluate how you currently handle your first approach of agents. Is it all about you? Are you great at asking key questions of agents. Or does it feel to them, that you are only looking for loans?

 We will be listening for your objective response from you, do agents feel you care about their challenges, do they feel you can really help them with their obstacles, or “are you the type of LO that says….gimme a try…I won’t disappoint you….I will take care of your clients.” Agents are bombarded daily by LOs saying they have great loan programs for agent’s buyers. LOs are not in short supply. LOs with ideas on how to help agents earn more money, are rare.

Your Follow-up With Agents

We are determining if your message is “all about you and your greatness” or if your message is clear that you are interested in what challenges the agents, what are their obstacles and how to overcome them.

This is so much more that rates, and mortgage programs, building a loyal DREAM TEAM of agents is about “making emotional deposits into the lives of those that refer you loans so that you can have better vacations, newer cars, money to fund things important to you.”

We will immediately begin your time-blocking exercises called AGENT MOMENTS, which are times you set aside 15-30 minutes daily to contact agents in which they will PING YOU BACK. Thus the enhancement of the relationship.

Session 3 and Onward

We address the outcomes of your efforts. We are experts at equipping you to build meaningful, loyal relationships with agents. Our systems are designed by agents for agents, in order to equip loan officers.

Weekly Gameplan

 

Monday

Ideally each Monday you can time-block 15-30 minutes for your AGENT MOMENTS. This day is called MONDAY THANK YOUs.
We have already templated emails that you can send to agents for recent closings, recent referrals received, recent loan commitments. These are times to make emotional deposits.

It is important to remember, no one fell in love with their LO in a day! Be patient, be consistent, love, loyalty will grow.

Each day, by simply time-blocking 15-30 minutes, we can help you build your DREAM TEAM of productive agents.

Tuesday

We call this Cold Call Tuesday. Once again, we equip you with a “quick set of questions” to cold call 5-10 agents. Someone in this group will say YES to a sit down with you. We will also equip you with the follow-up email that will solidfy your meeting or sell the idea to meet with you.

Remember the goal, stop meeting with two agents every week. Do this program for a short season, build your DREAM TEAM, hit your income goal, and if you desire, coast for a while. Enjoy the view from your new income level. But don’t rest til your hit achieve your goal. We will equip you for Cold Call Tuesday and all of it’s components.

Wednesday

Accolades Wednesday, again just 15-30 minutes of reaching out to agents you know and those you want to build a friendship / relationship with. Our ideas will get you PINGED BACK by the agents which will create sit-downs. All that is required is your discipline, your consistency, your passion to accomplish your goal.

Thursday

Listing Agent Appreciation Day. The listing agent is about the easiest YES to accomplish a sit-down with. Our messaging delivered by you will get you meetings. It is rare that loan officers know how to serve the listing agents when involved in a pending transaction.

Friday

????????????????

Saturday

Relax. Reflect on your accomplishments. You are growing. You are making progress. Celebrate that fact.

Sunday

If you choose to do OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY, it means you are on the fast track to building your DREAM TEAM. There is nothing faster that you can do to setting sit-downs with agents, than going to meet them at their open house on Sunday.

Most LOs won’t do it. Most will stay at home and watch the game. If you, if only for a short season of your life, will go to open houses on Sunday, will rapibly build your agent base. And by doing this, will be able to stop pursuing more agents. Sunday is your fastest track. Yes, this day will require more than 15 minutes. It is also the only face to face opportunty you have to meet an agent with no appointment.

Life Changing Experience

Invest In Yourself

Our systems, and our coaches, our mentors are ready to equip you with the words, the emails, the interactions the follow-ups, the encouragement to support you. We are only in your life for a season, and it is our hope that your investment of time and investment of a reasonable fee, will equip you for a lifetime of referrals.

Now is not the time, I don’t have the money. That is fear based. Now is not the time is not about finances, but rather uncertainty. Not if our program will work, but if you will commit to it. Too many people in life will not commit, for fear of failing again. Let now, be your commitment to the life you want to live.

Now is not the time, I am too busy. That is often what a person says that has not invested in a system to delegate. That often takes on too much at one time. Or a person that is working on to many priorities, yet not on the ONE THING that will make all the difference.

Investing in a college education, hiring personal trainers, paying for advanced schooling, are all demonstrations in a person’s life of a desire to grow. If we are not a match for you, we understand. It would be our encouragement to you to invest in “some program”, a program that has one focus, to build your DREAM TEAM of referral partners, so that you can live life to it’s fullest.

Coaching is an investment in you. Are you ready for the next step?
