Free Video Mortgage Tip – Cross Promoting The Right Way

Posted July 6th, 2010

As mortgage professionals, we are often contacted by realtors in our community to see if we are interested in doing cross-promotions. This is a great idea, but it doesn’t come without risk. You must seriously consider who you are choosing to connect your reputation to. Are they doing enough business? Do they have a good reputation in the community already? Are they overcharging you to help underwrite the cost of their own advertising?

Connecting to the RIGHT realtors can instantly help increase our business. Watch this short video tip to find out how to get the best bang for your cross-promotion dollars:

Free Video Real Estate Tip – Persistence Pays

Posted July 6th, 2010

Most salespeople get up from the negotiating table way too soon. How many times have you finished a listing presentation and you know you’ve done a great job but the client still hesitates, saying something like “we just want to think about it”? This is when many people would get up from the table, thank them and ask how long they will need to think it over (which is exactly the WRONG thing to do). As a professional, you need to have the persistence to stay at the table and find out exactly what it is they need to think about. Determination is so important in our business. Never give up too soon. Stay put and work it out. You are so close to a signature, don’t let the opportunity pass you by.

Watch this short video tip to find out how a little persistence will increase your sales:

They never take the time to become an expert and this leads them to always operate with a degree of insecurity. To truly stand out from your competition and to ensure clients truly believe in the benefits of your products and services, you not only need to become an expert about everything your company offers, but you need to believe passionately in what you do. Today if you are sitting at a table making a presentation to a potential client, do you know your products intimately? Are you so committed to your products and services you would use them yourself?

Posted May 5th, 2010

This month’s mortgage tip is about how to build quality relationships with one of your greatest referral sources – real estate agents. Let’s face it, most mortgage specialists view working with Realtors as a necessary evil, and we get very frustrated by how demanding Realtors can be.  Having some insight into what the Realtor has gone through up to the point of handing over the file to you will help you appreciate why they often attempt to micro-manage us.

Knowing what your Realtor partners are looking for will help you create better, more lucrative relationships with them.  Watch this short video tip to find out how:

Free Video Real Estate Tip – Pick A Lane

Posted May 5th, 2010

Technology has added so much to our business; it has given us access to information on properties that we normally would never have had access to before, so it gives salespeople the impression that we can sell farther and farther afield.  The problem with this is that as we go farther away from where we are located, the cost of doing business increases significantly.

It makes much more sense to focus on the market you are in; watch this short video tip to find out why:
