Top mortgage originators overcome call reluctance by using prospecting scripts when targeting new referral partners. Effective scripts focus on setting appointments to build relationships rather than just discussing loan services. Sample scripts provided include introducing yourself as aligned with top agents, following up on a referred client, inviting agents to networking events, and asking questions to understand an agent's goals. The key is to build value before calls to increase confidence and appointment booking. Originators should prospect 30 new agents each week through personal outreach or an inside sales rep. Regular prospecting is essential to becoming a top producer.

Top 100 Sales Influencers 2017 by TenfoldFrances Hui
* * * Frances Hui ranks #44 on this list and her profile is located on page 25. * * *
The idea behind the creation of this list was simple; Tenfold wanted one unified document that ranked sales influencers based on the same scale. During the creation of this list, the singular most important question they had to answer was, what’s the best indicator of an influencer? Unfortunately there’s no easy answer; arguments can be made for a wide variety of metrics.
Have a look and see what you think.

Creative Content Marketing - Why, not how! #SASconLisa Myers
If I could have had a penny for every time someone has asked me "how" we at Verve Search gets such great results from our campaigns. At this keynote at #SAScon I explain WHY, not HOW, which is more important. Using Simon Sinek's brilliant Golden Circle theory to explain the importance of working from the inside out, and starting with the why. The "why" that drives the people at Verve Search is the reason why our campaigns do well. What makes us different is our mindset. And the results is the great creative campaigns that get coverage from some of the largest press and lifestyle websites in the world.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

8. FOUNDER’SLETTER
I
have been lucky enough to qualify for the
Top 200 Mortgage Originator rankings 16
times. Prior to Mortgage Executive Magazine
managing the Top 200 rankings, Mortgage
Originator Magazine published the rankings
starting in 1995. During my best years, I orig-
inated $200 million/year for three years in a row
and climbed to #16 on the MOM
Top 200. I have also had the oppor-
tunity to interview, study, and learn
from 50+ originators who closed
over $100 million.
What the majority of top 200
originators will tell you is that it
takes “hard work,” “a great team,”
and “knowing mortgage guide-
lines.” These mortgage sayings
have become clichés similar to the
NFL quotes “The separation is in
the preparation,” “It is a game of
inches,” and “It is all about block-
ing and tackling.”
For many originators who work
hard for a great company and understand FNMA
guidelines, these cliché answers leave them empty.
The originator is left asking, “What does it REALLY
take to break through to the next level?” If you had to
parachute into a new city with no database, no friends,
and no money with a “sink or swim” proposition to
rebuild your mortgage business in six months, what
would be your first step? I would immediately create
a 1,000 target list that included the top buyers, agents,
builders and financial planners in town. I would hire
someone to call that list day and night nonstop to set
face-to-face appointments for me. I would also create
a “dream 100” list of elephant REALTORS and the
“best of the best” builders and financial planners.
With bullheaded determination, I
would create overwhelming value
for the “dream 100” list until I had
met with as many elephant referral
partners as possible.
There are only two reasons
that originators don’t prospect for
new referral partners: They are
afraid. Or they are lazy. The leg-
endary speaker Jim Rohn said,
“No one can do your push-ups for
you.” The $100 Million Origina-
tors take the time to do the things
that other originators will not do.
If you wanted to be a great
quarterback, you would invest the
time and money to go to the Peyton Manning NFL
Football Academy. If you want to be a great origi-
nator, I recommend that you invest the time and
money to attend Mastermind 2016 June 7–9 in Las
Vegas. I created a five-minute video at Mastermind
summit.com that gives you the strategies that you
need to be a Top 200 Originator.

OVERCOME CALL RELUCTANCE TO MAKE 2016 YOUR BEST YEAR EVER.
by Steven Marshall
T
op mortgage trainers Todd Duncan, Tim Braheem, Rick Ruby, and Jim
McMahan having been coaching originators for years on the impor-
tance of using “scripts” when targeting new referral partners. The real-
ity is that 98% of originators don’t have a prospecting system. They
wing it. It is no wonder that most originators are paralyzed with fear
when it comes time to “cold-call.”
The #1 tactic to double, triple, or even quadruple your W-2 income is to mas-
ter prospecting. The secret is to build value in advance of making the call. The
more value you create, the more confident you are. The more value you create,
the more likely you are to get an appointment. Many originators forget that the
primary goal of prospecting is to get an appointment. You want an appointment
so you can start to build a relationship.
Here are some of the best scripts used by elite originators.
8 MORTGAGE EXECUTIVE • 2016
12. TOP AGENT SCRIPT
“Hi Mary! This is (name) and the reason for my call
is I made a decision this year to align myself with some
of the best agents out there, and I believe you are one of
them. I wanted to meet with you for 10 minutes to see
if I could be a good fit for your business. What day and
time are you available?”
LISTING AGENT SCRIPT
“Hi Mary. This is (name). The reason for my call is
that we’ve got a home purchase in process right now for
you, and I just wanted you to know how we work and
what you can expect from us. We’re going to call you
every Wednesday. We’re going to send you regular e-
mails about how the loan is going. Do you currently get
these kind of updates? So Mary, let me ask you a ques-
tion. You said people don’t do this for you now. What
I’d like to have is an opportunity to meet with you for
coffee, if we do exactly what we say and call you every
single Wednesday. Do you think that’s an option for
you? Excellent. I will absolutely do it, and we’ll meet for
a cup of coffee after the home closing.”
10 MORTGAGE EXECUTIVE • 2016
13. REFERRED AGENT SCRIPT
“Hi Mary, I was referred to you by Mr. and Mrs. Jones.
Do you remember Mr. and Mrs. Jones? Quick story. I
was talking with them yesterday about their refinance.
I am their loan officer, so I asked, ‘Hey, who’s your real-
tor?’ And they said it was you. Do you know what they
said? They raved about you. They told me, ‘Steven, I
bought and sold five homes. I will never use another
realtor.’ They were so impressed with you. Great job. I
mean your reputation kind of precedes you. Congratula-
tions on building a great business. Mary, my goal in my
business is to have 15 strategic partnerships. I have 13
today. My goal is to work with top people like you, and I
put my heart and soul into you and your clients. I want
to do whatever it takes to help you be more successful
and help you generate more business.”
“Quick question. Help me understand what is impor-
tant about real estate success to you.”
“What is important about working with a lender to you?”
“How many families did you help out last year? And
what’s your goal this year?”
“OK, great. Mary what I would like to do is set up an-
other quick appointment to share how I can help you gen-
erate more business and be more successful. Is that OK?”

SALES STRATEGIES
14. ONE-ON-ONE AGENT MEETING SCRIPT
“Rather than talk about closing your loans on time and
good service and all that stuff, I would like to talk about
how I can help you do more business. How I can help you
reach your goals. I believe that good service should be ex-
pected from any loan officer you’d work with….”
INSIDE SALES REP
One of the best ideas in mortgage sales is to hire an
Inside Sales Rep. Inside Sales Reps (ISRs) help convert
cold leads and prospects into appointments for you.
ISRs are out shaking the bushes. They are following up
on your marketing. They are filling up your meeting
schedule and your agent events. A good ISR can make
100 calls a day and talk to 20 agents. Here are some
sample ISR agent prospecting scripts.
“Hey, how are you doing? I’d like to make an ap-
pointment with you and (name) next week. How does
10 o’clock work?”
“Hey, I’d like to invite you to this awesome happy
hour that (name) is throwing next Wednesday.”
“Hey, I would like to invite you to this exclusive pow-
er lunch with three of the top agents in the state sharing
their best marketing and prospecting ideas.”
“Hey, I would like to invite you to our real estate CE
class next week.”
NEXT STEP
Build a list of the top agents in your marketplace.
Set a goal of contacting 30 new agents every week. You
can do this personally or hire an ISR to help you. Ide-
ally, schedule one day a week and carve out 2-3 hours
that are focused exclusively on building new referral
partnerships. You can’t make big money as a mortgage
originator if you don’t have a system for prospecting.
It is that simple. ■

ony Robbins has had his fair share of ups
and downs with money over the years. He
knows what it’s like to be deep in debt
and down to his last $20 bill, and he
knows what it’s like to own a resort in Fiji
and travel by private jet.
He’s gone from a cash-strapped up-
bringing to an estimated net worth of
$440 million, and has coached some of
the wealthiest people in the world along the way.
We asked the business strategist and author of Mon-
ey: Master the Game about the smartest thing he ever
did with his money.
“I paid myself first,” he told us.
“And in a nutshell, I set aside a portion of my in-
come to start to build my critical mass,” he says. “But
I committed to paying myself first.”
He credits part of this commitment to a friend and
fellow best-selling author, Ken Blanchard, whom he
met at a critical time in his life—he was 24 years old,
in the middle of writing his first book, and building up
his personal brand and business.
“Like most people, I had already heard of George S.
Clason’s 1926 classic, The Richest Man In Babylon, the
day that Ken pulled me aside for a talking-to,” Robbins
explains. “I was aware of a central concept in the book:
the simple idea of paying yourself first—that is, taking
10% of your income and setting it aside to grow and
protect you in the future.
“But Ken connected with me and imparted a mes-
sage at this critical time while I was coming into my-
self as a young businessman—he taught me some-
thing that many business owners don’t realize. He
said, ‘Tony, any amount of money that you feed your
business, it will eat. So in writing a book, you are
doing something here that is outside of the business.
You are doing something that is going to support the
company hopefully by bringing in new fans of your
work who then maybe engage with your brand and
do business with your company.
“He continued, ‘Since the company is getting that
benefit, make sure you take the profits of your book and
set them aside, and never allow them into your com-
pany’s account. This is the most important career advice
given to me by another man, and I want to pass it on
to you. Remember, Tony: A business is always hungry.’”
“Decades have gone by since Ken Blanchard spoke
those words to me. I now have over 20 companies,
and I’m actively involved in running a dozen of them.
Throughout the years, those words never left me. In
fact, they became the basis of financial independence
as I know it.” ■

Aggressive
Being
When I was in real estate, there was this
megasuccessful mortgage broker named Mari
Mahoney. She did more business than any ten
“successful” mortgage agents combined.
I asked her how she did it. What was her
key to success? She rapidly responded,
“I lose one out of five for being too aggressive—
but I get the other four!”
That statement changed my life.
by Darren Hardy

efore then, I was overly concerned about be-
ing too assertive or overbearing. If someone
got mad or called the broker (my dad!) to
complain that I was calling too early or too
late, or showing up on their doorstep too of-
ten, I was horrified. After my lunch with Mari, being
aggressive became my goal.
I was at my in-laws’ this past weekend. One of my
brothers-in-law is currently looking for a job. I asked
him how it was going and he responded, “I sent out 42
resumes, but no one has gotten back to me.” I asked
him how many times he had called each employer and
how many drop-ins he had made. I asked if he had sent
any employer his favorite book. Had he sent a valuable
article or press clipping on the organization or competi-
tor? His response? “None, none, and no.”
I offered him some advice that you, too, might find
valuable—whether in finding a job, recruiting top tal-
ent, capturing a dream client, or winning business
away from a competitor.

27. 1SHOCK AND AWE—Narrow your list to your
highest-priority targets. Then unload every bit of ar-
senal you have. Call, fax, email, FedEx, telegram, show
up, court the gatekeeper, bring lunch, send gifts (books,
magazine articles, swag, etc.), and network their con-
tacts (peers, underlings, superiors, vendors, attorney,
CPAs, etc.).
Here is the magic: Don’t be afraid of being too ag-
gressive. You might be for some, but who cares? You
have a thousand times better shot at the others on your
list. Get some people to call you, your boss, your asso-
ciation, your congressman, whatever, to complain that
you are becoming a nuisance. You will then know you
are on the road to victory.
I get solicitations every day from people who want to
be featured in SUCCESS or want a job with the magazine.
I either don’t respond or “brush off” the first attempt or
two. Why? I want to know the character behind the so-
licitation. If someone persists, even if I am initially sure
I am not interested, I will give an audience. If they are
creative in their persistence, I am usually an easy sale.
2GET REFERRED IN—Cold calling is for weenies.
Winners get referred in by other winners.
When I interviewed Bob Beaudine, author of The
Power of Who and owner of the leading executive
recruiting firm in sports and entertainment, he made
this point abundantly clear: “In the last 30 years, I
have received over 80,000 resumes. Do you know
how many jobs I have placed off a resume? Not
one.” Beaudine will tell you that you already know
everyone you need to know to get anywhere. You
just have to ask, network through your relationships,
and make new relationships.
If you don’t know anyone who knows your tar-
get contact directly, find someone who knows some-
body one to two degrees away. Make a new friend
and climb the rings on the daisy chain to your target.
If I am interviewing someone who was referred
and endorsed by someone I have respect for, the
interview is very different from the one who came
from a Monster.com posting and a resume. The latter
person really never had a chance.

28. 3DO THE UNEXPECTED—In my book The
Compound Effect, I tell the story of Alex, a friend
of mine who was up for a big job. He lived in Califor-
nia; the job was in Boston. He was one of twelve final
candidates. The company was going to interview local
candidates in person and conduct video conferences
for those out of the area. Alex called me to ask if I knew
how to facilitate a web video-conference.
“How badly do you want this job?” I asked him.
“It’s my dream job,” Alex replied. “It’s everything
I’ve spent forty-five years preparing to do.”
“Then get on a plane and show up in person.”
“No need,” Alex said, “They’re flying in the final
three for a last interview.”
“Listen,” I told him. “If you want to be in that final
three, you should separate yourself by doing the unex-
pected. Fly across the country on a moment’s notice and
show up in person. That’s how you make a statement.”
I also suggested Alex pull out all the stops—at-
tack from every possible front and do it relentlessly:
Research all the people in the organization. Take that
list and run it by his entire network to see if anyone
knew somebody in the organization. Search every
name against his LinkedIn database. Find a few people
to connect with. Talk with them and ask them to put
in a good word for him. Send them gifts or notes and
ask them to hand-deliver them to the decision-makers.
Phone, e-mail, fax, text, tweet, connect through Face-
book—do whatever is necessary during the process.
I suggest you do the same.
Could this be overly aggressive? Heck, yes! But I
have found that you may lose one out of five for being
too aggressive, but you get the other four! And when it
comes to capturing dream clients, you only need a few.
Now, no more namby-pamby soft-pedaling around.
Straighten your spine, get aggressive, and get after it! ■

BUILDERS
with
by Shirleen
Von Hoffmann
T
he other day a loan officer shared with me, “I
feel that builders are too much work… they
are too hard to get to, too hard to get, and too
hard to keep happy once you get them.”
So I am here to tell you… that is partially
true! Home builders can be hard to find, chal-
lenging to get an appointment, with and once gotten
they can be difficult to keep happy.
But on the other hand, chasing a builder and get-
ting them is a huge win. There’s no feeling quite like it!
Here is other great upsides… you don’t live month to
month; you have a huge pipeline of loans that you can
see as far as a year out, and you always know what is
coming down the line. When you become a successful
Builder Account Loan Officer and do it right, you be-
come an enterprise. Everyone will want you working
for them. Furthermore, there is no better feeling than a
builder awarding you with their business and trusting
you to get it done. It’s huge win.
Think about it… is anything worth getting, easy?
Do you want to get 15 loans a year from a REALTOR
(that’s easy!) or do you want 150 loans a year from
a builder (challenge)? And when you get four or five
builders in your pocket, you can imagine the enterprise
you will create. Nothing in this world worth anything
comes easy. So instead of looking for easy, let’s talk
about some strategy.
First I am going to make you a promise and want
you to proceed with this knowledge. If you follow the
steps below, you will become wildly successful with
builders and have a ton of business. With that said,
you must prepare to be busy. I always say, “Be care-
ful what you wish for!” Preparation and planning will
make you “in it to win it!”
2016 • MORTGAGE EXECUTIVE 29
BUILDER STRATEGIES
32. PLAN AND PROSPECT
It’s the beginning of any enterprise. You would nev-
er land in a new city without a map. Come up with a
vision of what you want to achieve. Put it in writing
and set goals for each vision you have. Then come up
with a plan to make it happen. An example is to figure
out what builders you want to call on, and then your
plan will include a milk route to visit builders weekly.
Dedicate two days out of your week solely to builder
prospecting calls. Make sure to do the vision and plan-
ning in all areas of your life, like money, family, re-
lationships, fun and spirituality so as you grow, you
remain a balanced person.
MEETING THE BUILDER
Do your homework… know where the builders are
building, know the lenders they are working with and
the weaknesses of those lenders, visit agents, communi-
ties selling and upcoming, and know the history and
the pain of the builder before you go to a meeting. Find
out all of the new communities coming in the future.
Research everything you can find… all the facts you can.
The builder will appreciate and know that you did your
homework by your engagement in the conversation.
Once in the meeting, you may meet with the builder,
sales manager, or both. In either case, be ready to tell
a builder or sales manager why they should work with
you. They may ask and you should be ready with an
answer, not stuttering and stammering all over your-
self. They will pick up on your confidence. Make sure
it’s something compelling and things that they want or
need. Know your value and what you are great at, and
be able to deliver it quickly and with confidence. Don’t
talk too much after stating why they want to work with
you; your speaking should be limited to asking great
questions. The goal is to get to know them on the first
appointment, ask questions, find out their pain, and
get the door open. At the second meeting you can de-
liver some solutions. Remember, it’s not about you or
what you have; it’s about them and what they need.
30 MORTGAGE EXECUTIVE • 2016
33. GO WHERE YOUR
BUILDERS ARE
Join the local build-
ing industry associa-
tions, become involved,
go to meetings and events,
provide a sponsorship,
do a training session at
a luncheon, get on plan-
ning boards, and get to
know everyone. There
is nothing like getting
to know sales managers while
you plan an annual sales event.
These relationships break the
ice and go a long way.
SPEAK BUILDER
Place yourself with a company that has a
builder division that can support you and
your production and that understands
the needs of home builders. Once you
have that in place, you need a
personal team that can
execute high-volume pro-
duction. Processes, training
and building a team machine
will be the most important part
of your success. Knowing all the
nuances of a home builder is one
of the most important things
you and your team will need
to know. Lastly, make sure you
know when to take care of busi-
ness and when to throw down
the fun. It will keep your team
together for many years. My
team loved having monthly
contests and rewards. It kept
them engaged and competi-
tive, and we always felt like a
big family.
REPORTING
Be sure you provide a weekly loan sta-
tus report, on all loans in process to the
builder and your team. This reporting will
keep you organized and efficient, especial-
ly when the volume is at high levels. It
was a lifesaver on those months when I
closed 130 units There is no way I could
have kept track of all of those escrows
without great reporting systems. Make
sure your team not only utilizes the re-
port day in and day out but also gets
it to the builder prior to their weekly
sales meeting.

BUILDER STRATEGIES
34. BE READY TO GROW, FAST!
One of the most common mistakes made with
builder business is growth. It comes very fast, and you
have to be ready for it with support, process, and a
plan. There is no time for complaining about how busy
you are and that you have to work weekends. No room
for firefighting. You will have to be ahead of the fire at
all times by creating systems that can accommodate
high volume growth quickly.
HONOR YOUR PROMISES… ALWAYS
If you give great service, have a great team, under
promise and over deliver, and close on time every time,
you will be ahead of 90% of your competition when it
comes to builders. There is no compromise on this; if
you don’t follow through with what you say, you will
not be around.
MAINTAIN–RETAIN–REFINE–REINVENT
As time goes on and as you get busier each month,
in order to maintain and retain, you must refine and re-
invent your systems—constantly. Define your processes,
make them better, and reinvent your team to be better
and better with each closing. The goal is to have a well-
oiled machine. If you stay on top of all of your business
and ahead of the game, you will always remain at the top.
Never become complacent, as you can always improve.
GET A COACH
A coach can be the one thing that will keep you in
check and keep you from becoming complacent. They
can help you with evaluating what direction you are
moving and at what speed. They see holes where you
might miss them. I believe we are all here to do one
thing—GROW. That means grow in our careers, our
32 MORTGAGE EXECUTIVE • 2016
35.
36.
37. relationships and our lives. A coach is the one to help
you with that growth. There are all kinds of coaches
for all kinds of personalities. You definitely need to
find someone who will hold you accountable, whom
you align with, and whom you honor and respect. All
superstars have coaches. You’re no different.
FUN AND BALANCE
Now here is the most important thing… have
some fun! Our business can be tough some days, but
there is no business like it in the world, and further-
more you get to choose your reaction to everything!
Choose right now to be in control and in the driver’s
seat, and live a happy, balanced life with amazing
work, a great team, and time for your family, friends,
and filling yourself up with things you love. In our
business, this part is rare. One of the biggest things I
see is someone who becomes wildly successful and
within a year or less burns out, everything falls apart,
and bam, they are no longer doing builder business
and no one remembers their name. Here is one very
important thing you need to know. With builders, you
only get one shot. It’s just that simple! There are al-
ways younger, hungrier, more energetic loan officers
vying for that business and knocking on their door.
Here’s my last pieces of advice… know who they are
and hire them for your team!
Builder business is a game changer, and only the
best survive! It’s all I’ve ever done, and my best advice
is, Stay on the ball and ahead of the curve, and you will
become outrageously successful in builder business for
a very long time. ■

The last decade has been turbulent in the mortgage industry. Over 70% of the
mortgage competition has been swept away during this time of change. For many of
the nation’s top producers, the consumers “flight to quality” has created a unique
opportunity to grow market share in both purchase and refinance mortgages.
Mortgage Executive Magazine compiled the most comprehensive list of The Nation’s
Top 200 Mortgage Originators as ranked by their total yearly mortgage volume.
Entries cannot include loan volume of associate originators or junior originators that

Here are some sobering statistics.
The majority of mortgage
originators will likely see a 20–40%
decline in personal income from last
year. And if that is the worst that
happens, they are the lucky ones.
What makes the difference between
thriving and barely surviving in
the mortgage business, between a
Top 10 Mortgage Originator earning
$1,000,000+ a year and someone
just getting by? Answer: It’s not
interest rates or service levels. It’s
the skills, strategies and systems
developed and implemented by
each mortgage professional.
That is the key element.
Mastermind Summit gives you
the tools and systems to make
the quantum leaps in your
mortgage production and business
results. Designed for successful,
experienced Originators, Managers

is needed to breakthrough to

Here Is What $100m
Originators Are Saying
About Mastermind Summit
Brian Blonder, the top mortgage
originator shared, “To be successful
in the mortgage industry, I have
found it takes the willingness to
become teachable. The mortgage
industry is very dynamic and
ever changing. It requires us to
become a “student of the game.”
We constantly have to analyze our
own techniques and investigate the
best practices of other successful
mortgage salespeople, and
incorporate a blend of our skills
with knowledge we learn from
others who have walked our path
before us, in order to stay on top.
Use your knowledge and tools to
go to battle each day, and WIN.
David Jaffe, a top originator at
On Q Financial, shared his success
formula with MEM. “One of the first
things I learned when I was new
to the business was to learn from
those who came before me. I have
never been a believer in re-inventing
the wheel, but a huge fan of finding
successful strategies others have
used and becoming a master at
swipe and adapt. Implementing
proven strategies has been a large
part of my success and enabled me
to spend more time building the
business and less time coming
up with ideas.”

SALES STRATEGIES
50. Joe Caltabiano, Guaranteed Rate
$224,347,369 – 562 units
I pride myself on my business, which is based on refer-
rals. My REALTORS, referral partners, and past clients
direct their business to me because they know their
referrals are my business. Having a business built on
referrals has allowed me to grow year after year. My
growth is driven by the fact that once I have a referral,
I work relentlessly until the loan closes and offer great
service and solid guidance. I have an experienced team
behind me, and there are no surprises—and because
of that, all parties are assured of the experience of a
smooth transaction. I—along with my team—work
proactively to ensure that deals close smoothly and
efficiently. As a result, my clients are happy, and my
referral sources are reinforced for making the connec-
tion. I am appreciative of the referrals I receive, and
honestly, I treat them like family. At this point, I have
a pretty big “family.”
David Jaffe, On Q Financial
$145,051,821 – 330 units
One of the best marketing tools we have used to grow
REALTOR referral partners is calling on the REALTORS
involved in a purchase transaction. If we do a phenom-
enal job throughout the loan process, we can “wow”
the agents involved, giving us an opportunity to call
on them after close. Our system is called the Perfect
Loan Process. For each milestone that occurs on a loan
(appraisal ordered, appraisal received, loan sent to un-
derwriting, loan approved, docs ordered, docs sent to
escrow, loan funded, etc.), we send an email to the
borrower and both agents with a status. The constant
communication means we don’t get bogged down with
incoming status calls, and we are proactively touching
base with the agents before they have a chance to call
us. After close, we call for an appointment.
Jarret Coleman, United Bank
$129,959,931 – 248 units
One of my best resources for generating new leads and
referral sources is my existing referral base. I do my
best to connect via email at least once a week with
my referral sources, and I always ask if they know of
anyone in their office who is in need of a mortgage pro-
fessional. I find that this is the best way to make new
contacts within real estate offices, as you have an “in-
side person” already praising your services. Once you
are given the introduction, the most important thing
to do is follow up. I constantly follow up with them to
ensure that they give me a shot when that next client
comes around.
Chris Gallo, NJ Lenders Corp.
$125,270,452 – 314 units
I think the best form of marketing and prospecting is
SERVICE KNOWLEDGE. The service and knowledge
you can provide to all parties involved in the transac-
tion are priceless. Anyone can cut costs and waive fees,
but to be fully involved with the clients and your refer-
ral partners has been the true key to my success. Be
knowledge, be accountable, and be accessible! If you
can do all these things, you will grow your brand and
increase your production—guaranteed.
Brad Cohen, Capital Bank
$124,348,554 – 280 units
As discussed on stage multiple times, my best and
most cost-effective marketing strategy has been the
distribution of rate flyers. I have done this since day
one when I got into this business in 1997, as I used
this practice to generate clients for my auto detailing
business. I place them on fence posts or on mailboxes
(but NEVER in them), and I hit the same neighbor-
hoods every one to two months. I have even cemented
four REALTORS from this and still have them after 15+
years. It is extremely cost effective, great for branding,
and also great for exercise and to meet the people in
the area. I have closed over 1,000 loans just from my
flyer technique over the years.

52. Raffi Bekmezian, PrimeLending
$96,388,482 – 197 units
Living in the new age of technology, we have the world
at our fingertips. This new way of communication al-
lows us to reach the masses at a quicker rate. Using so-
cial media as one of the newest tools at our disposal
is one of the most effective ways I approach marketing
and prospecting. A great way to market myself and my
business is to use social media as one way of commu-
nicating. The key to that is finding a balance between
being visible and knowing when to back off in order
to prevent desensitization. I see social media as a great
way to not only introduce myself and my business but
also to create a need for a prospective client to call me
and allow me the opportunity to win their trust and
business face-to-face. This, along with my longstanding
motto of going above and beyond what is expected of
me and keeping the borrower happy with their loan and
the process, is what I believe helps generate new leads
and allows me the opportunity to continue to do what I
love to do. Positive word-of-mouth referrals are just as
important as any leads that can be created in other ways.
Oleg Tkach, Guild Mortgage
$89,816,545 – 365 units
Most originators ask for referrals after a successful
transaction. This has been the standard in any sales in-
dustry since the existence of the profession. While this
tactic is a proven way to generate business, it’s also not
the only way to get referrals from your existing clien-
tele. What we do on our team is update all parties of
the transaction (buyer, listing agent, and selling agent)
every Tuesday, which we refer to as our Tuesday up-
date calls. After updating them on our loan status, we
ask if they have any questions and if they feel that we
have been doing a great job of taking care of them thus
far. Once we answer any additional questions that our
clients have, we end with a simple pitch: “We are glad
you feel that we are taking great care of you. Please
take care of us and connect us with anyone you come
across this week who is thinking of buying or could
benefit from refinancing. We would love to provide
them with the same stellar service that we are provid-
ing you.” By using this tactic, we are able to generate
an additional 5–10 strong leads each month.

Target marketing financial advisors has been my best
prospecting activity. I educate advisors on mortgage
planning topics, send articles on specific mortgage
items related to financial planning, teach continuing
education classes to help them maintain their desig-
nations, offer detailed analyses of different mortgage
options for their clients, and make myself available for
team consultations. Good financial advisors recognize
the need to have a great mortgage banker on their team
and value the services they provide.
Jill Hinkey, Banc of California
$87,433,347 – 276 units
What does it take to be a top producer? I call, email,
and direct mail all past clients on a regular basis. The
key is persistent and consistent contact; you never
know when the client will have a life-changing event
and need your professional services. The goal is to be
in front of them when the opportunity arises. There is
no replacement for one-on-one meetings with clients
and referral sources. Again, the key is persistent and
consistent communication.
The majority of my day is spent on business devel-
opment. I’m typically on the phone and email taking
applications and issuing prequalifications 10–14 hours
a day. My goal is to take as many loan applications
as possible. I also spend a significant amount of time
thanking existing referral sources and contacting po-
tential new ones. I challenge myself constantly and
work to step out of my comfort zone at least once daily.
As I talk, I give options rather than opinions. I let my
customers form their own opinions. When your cus-
tomer comes up with their own solution based on the
information you have presented, you have their buy-in.
You now have a partnership and have elevated the re-
lationship beyond the transaction.

Every year I create a business plan and rank my top
“biggest fans.” These are the REALTORS who send me a
very high percentage of their business and who do a lot
of business in general. I then invite them to lunch and
ask them to bring someone else whom they think would
benefit from working with me. I let my “fan” do all of
the talking and sell me instead of having to sell myself.
Jonathan Yellon, Mortgage Master

The greatest challenge for successful loan officers is
dedicating the time to market themselves and their
product offerings. I already know who my potential
referral sources are, as should all loan originators if
they are detailed, organized, and dedicated to perfect-
ing their craft. The most successful originators create a
plan for how to dedicate their time to connect with po-
tential referral sources; REALTORS, financial planners,
CPAs, and attorneys are the most common categories.
It has to be a priority, every week, to dedicate specific
times to email and connect with sources to try and set
up appointments, while always listening. When you
listen you learn and can take note of interests, impor-
tant dates in their lives, their families, and so on, all of
which adds humanity to a business transaction. Our
business is a very personal one, and the topic we are
covering for our clients contains a great deal of sensi-
tivity. It’s crucial to be as sincere and compassionate
as possible about a borrower’s scenario. You must also
demonstrate confidence in your skills and the prod-
uct you’re delivering while keeping the client’s costs in
mind. That’s how I’ve built my business: on trust, with
both my clients and my referral network.
Justin Bonura, NJ Lenders Corp.
$75,864,870 – 229 units
Our business is a relationship-based business in which
connecting with people earns you their trust. My best
prospecting idea is to use my established referral net-
work to connect with other referral sources by host-
ing monthly events. Hosting events such as “REALTOR
Night Out” or “Lunch and Learn” seminars provides
an opportunity to be face-to-face with my best advo-
cates and new prospects in a relaxed and fun environ-
ment. This practice has brought proven results and is
where I get the best return on investment. Building
business relationships while having fun is a winning
proposition for all.
Brenda Dintino, New American Funding
$75,437,058 – 202 units
Here are a few top strategies for providing top-tier
customer service and building a predictable income-
stream for years to come:
1. Annual Mortgage Reviews—Calling past clients
on the anniversary of their loan closing is a simple way
to remain in front of your Borrowers. This is an oppor-
tunity to show your commitment to their sound finan-
cial position, propose beneficial changes to their current
financing if any exist, and maybe even earn a referral.
2. Birthday Calls—Birthday calls are another
simple way to remain in front of your Borrowers and
deepen the relationship. Clients may end up request-
ing terms on a new loan scenario or even have a friend
who’s looking for a good lender.
3. Monthly Market Monitoring—By staying
attentive to changes in the MBS market on a daily,
weekly, or monthly basis, you better position yourself
to save your clients money by lowering their interest
rate. Check out www.mbsauthority.com for their con-
venient “Morning Coffee Update.”
4. Agent Marketing Partnerships—I enjoy help-
ing my Agent partners with their traditional and social
media marketing through New American Funding’s
Agent marketing platform. As a result of our combined
efforts, I’m not only able to win referrals for repeat fi-
nancing but am also able to generate buyer referrals for
my Agent partners.

Communication is our best tool when it comes to mar-
keting and prospecting. We have a schedule for con-
tacting our referral partners, and we stick to it with at
least one phone call per week for all of our REALTOR
partners as well as a weekly update call for all parties
(listing agent, buyer’s agents, borrowers, and escrow)
on in-process loans. Communicating on a regular basis
results in an opportunity to generate leads as well as
demonstrate our level of service.
The majority of our new leads and new referral
partners come near the end of in-process loans when
borrowers who have been amazed by our communica-
tion are excited to provide us with contact information
for friends and family who are also looking for mort-
gages. The listing agents are frequently amazed, too,
and come to us after successful transactions asking
what they need to do to have us handle their clients’
loans on future purchases.
William Murphy, Fairway Independent Mortgage
$59,108,930 – 254 units
When it comes to generating new leads and referrals,
the sea of techniques and software programs can seem
impersonal at times. It takes more to build a reputa-
tion, so I seek some alternate means to do so. It is my
belief that businesses should act as leaders within a
community and provide more than just a product or
service. My goal is to provide people with a gateway
to strengthen our community, which indirectly builds
long-lasting relationships and credibility. Our client
appreciation events and our annual partnership with
the Make-A-Wish® Foundation create great forums for
people to come together and give back. We are hosting
our first annual Fairway Mortgage Walk, Run, and Roll
5K for Wishes, where we hope to get the community
more involved than ever before. We try to incorporate
this goal into our everyday business operations by do-
nating a portion of proceeds from every loan my team
and I close to Make-A-Wish®, which gets my clients
involved. Transactional relationships are not enough in
this business, and we need to offer more and get on a
personal level. People gravitate toward genuine cred-
ibility, which is what we strive for every day.
David Hosterman, Castle and Cooke Mortgage
$58,981,917 – 225 units
Marketing has become more important in today’s
lending environment than ever before. One thing we
specialize in at the Denver branch of Castle Cooke
Mortgage, is conducting open houses with real estate
agents. We like to have both agents and lenders on-site
to address both real estate and lending questions. In
addition, we strategically plan open houses by prior
marketing through social media, door hangers in the
neighborhood, and extensive sign placement strate-
gies. Sign placement is critical, as it has been shown
that better and increased placement drives more traf-
fic in comparison to a standard open house with only
a few signs. Furthermore, we conduct these on both
Saturdays and Sundays, with the signs being left out
for the entire weekend. We like to make the signs eye-
catching, as the branding of the signs is critical. The
colors we use are black and yellow, a color scheme that
has been proven to be more effective. Offering visitors
something of value is critical. The agent provides cli-
ents a free cell phone app to search properties. This
app is great for marketing, as it allows the agent and
lender to see how frequently clients are using the app.
Jolene Messmer, Caliber Home Loans
$56,880,058 – 159 units
I offer personalized service from the initial lead con-
tact to closing of the loan. I celebrate loan milestones
with sincere tokens of appreciation for borrowers. This
individual attention helps retain potential leads and is
a memorable experience for them to share with friends
and family. The five triggers points I acknowledge, in
order, are: preapproval, under contract, loan approved,
loan closed, and first payment due. Along with each
small gift, I share a branded card with details of the cur-
rent progress of the loan. This helps me stay relevant
throughout the mortgage process when borrowers are
likely shopping other rates and lenders. I strive to remind
everyone that home buying is a fun and exciting time.

changes that we continue to experience. When there
are changes in the market, my clients and REALTOR
partners have come to expect that I will keep them in-
formed quickly and accurately so they will have the
necessary tools to compete with every advantage. I
also am passionate and never tire of helping people be
able to realize their dream of home ownership, wheth-
er it’s a first-time home buyer, a move-up buyer, an

to be able to make things happen for people and their

The six items listed below are the only marketing I
have done for the past 12 years of my 16 years in this
business as a loan officer. These things are admitted-
ly repetitive, monotonous, tedious, boring, etc., BUT
if you do these things EVERY day, every week, every
month, every year without fail, you will succeed. All it
takes in order to be successful in any sales job is: be
persistent in your efforts; be consistent in your deliv-
ery and your brand; have longevity in your industry
and with your company; and, be disciplined in making
the same number of phone calls and e-mails to, and
face-to-face appointments with, referrals sources and
clients every week.
Marketing Efforts
1. Daily Market Update e-mails to 450+ REALTORS
and financial planners that I’ve either met with or
worked with on a deal over the past 15 years
2. Monthly mailing of recipe cards to 900+ past
clients
3. Monthly mailing of cheesy marketing tchotchkes
to top 75 referral sources
4. Call/e-mail every past client on their birthday. E-
mail works better. Give them a refi scenario and an-
nual review. Ask them for referrals!
5. Contact and/or get a meeting with EVERY listing
agent you close a deal with. Add them to your Daily
Market Update e-mail and the monthly tchotchke mail-
ing. If they don’t send you business after a year or two,
take them off your tchotchke list.
6. Constantly ask for business! Ask every client,
past and present, and any referral source for referrals
every chance you get. Look for reasons to reach out to
your REALTORS (in-process and past REALTORS) and
ask them for more business!
Kyndle Quinones, First Home Mortgage
$53,332,659 – 155 units
I am a hands-on loan officer who finds that the best
way to generate new referral partners is to build trust.
It all starts with a relationship. Even if you know your
products and run a great operation, it could fail if the re-
lationship isn’t in place. REALTORS are social people—
they love to interact with one another and know that
they have a strong support team behind them. Many of
the agents I have worked with in the past have become
close friends of mine. We respect and trust each other
to get the job done and hold each other accountable
for production. We meet quarterly to go over numbers
to stay on track with our annual goals and always seek
new ways to assist each other with marketing.
Another big thing I do is that every time I get a
lead, I immediately handwrite a thank-you letter to the
referral source and to the prospective borrower. That
way, the borrower receives it a few days after my call,
along with my business cards and a handwritten note.
I follow up with another letter to the agents thanking
them once I get a ratified contract for a purchase. This
has been a tremendous help for me this past year. ■

I
t is a known fact that we all have the same amount of time every day,
and yet how is it that some are much more productive than others?
From speaking to many top producers and highly successful people over
the years, I learned that the most successful ones are those who priori-
tize their days based on what is most important in their business. After
spending countless time observing and learning from these highly success-
ful individuals, I picked up a business practice that made me very efficient
for quite some time. What I did not know, however, was that there was an
even better and more powerful business practice, which I eventually began
using and still use today with extraordinary results.

STRATEGIES
60. I
n order to understand the full weight of how my
current business practice is significant, the knowl-
edge of my initial one will bring you important in-
sight. The first business practice I religiously used
was called the “Big Rocks” principle. The general
idea is that you do the significant things, aka “big
rocks,” first thing each day. With all of the demands
and distractions each day, it is easy to get distracted
and not get what is important completed. I saw a dem-
onstration of this time management tactic with some-
one using a glass jar, sand, and three big rocks.
Imagine having a glass jar that represents the
amount of time in your day and then imagine that the
sand is all the interruptions, small tasks, and e-mails,
and the three big rocks are the important things you
need to get done that day. If you pour all of the sand
into the jar, there ends up not being enough space
for the three big rocks. This is the problem that most
people have during their workday. They let the sand
prioritize them, and then they never get the most im-
portant things done.
For example, they are in the middle of the “big rock”
task, and then they receive an e-mail, switch their fo-
cus, and start working on the “sand” task. Even worse,
people arrive to work, look at their inboxes, and spend
the entire day focused on the “sand” tasks in their in-
boxes. This turns into a slippery slope, and eventually
you are prioritizing every day by your e-mails, and
there is not enough room for the “big rocks.” Then
ultimately, you never get the important tasks done.
So how do you manage your day, and what spe-
cifically do you do? You focus on the “big rocks” (put
them in the jar first) at the start of every day and get
them done. I was definitely more productive than the
average salesperson because of this business practice.
I’ve seen people focus on the three most important
things every day, get them done, and definitely become
more productive… at least I thought!

62. B
ecause this strategy worked so well for me
and increased my efficiency, I shared this
business practice with everyone. This was
the process that helped me in getting things
done. One day, however, an executive I had
extremely high regard for in my company
actually advised that this was not the most effective
practice. He said there was an even better one for me
to adopt. This better practice is the “Needle Mover” ex-
ercise. He specifically said, “You have to change your
question and you will change your outcome.” Then
he asked me, “You might be getting three things done
every day, but are they tasks that will change your
company’s bottom line and the future of your orga-
nization?” Of course, they were the three important
things I needed to get done, but after reviewing the
lists I kept, I realized they were not game changers for
my company’s bottom line.
He said, “Change the question. Don’t ask yourself
what are three big rocks you need to get done. Ask
yourself what are the three things that will move the
needle in your business.” As I looked back, my big
rocks, such as organize my desk, work on market-
ing collateral, clear all e-mails, etc., were helpful, but
they would not affect my business in the long run. So
I changed the question, and it changed my outcome
beyond what I could imagine. I could literally see the
needle moving in my business. As a leader, the reality
I had to understand was that all other things will get
taken care of, but the ones we must prioritize are what
drives our business’s top-line revenue because unlike
the “sand” tasks, unless we focus on these, our sales
will never be maximized at the level we desire.
Changing the question moved the needle in my
business. I recommend that anybody who is in sales or
leadership in our industry start every Monday morning
by writing down the three activities that will move the
needle in their business. It is extremely important to ac-
tually write them down, and it only takes a few minutes
because the question is so powerful and the answers are
quite often easy. So how do you get started? Begin with
this exact question, “What are the three things that will
move the needle in my business this week?” and write
your answers down. These answers help in setting the
priorities that will drive success and income. The key
to these answers is to be extremely specific. These are
supposed to be goal-oriented tasks, so they must be able
to be measured. You must state who you are meeting
with, the number of times you must call this referral
source, and who you are having lunch with. Maximize
your time to the fullest so you can achieve all of your
needle movers by the end of the week.
60 MORTGAGE EXECUTIVE • 2016
63. L
et me drive a little further on this new discipline.
When I ask salespeople in our industry, “What
three things will move the needle in your busi-
ness?” the right answer should be moneymaking
activities such as “meet with a specific realtor.”
They should not be activities like “maintain my
pipeline.” You should be maintaining your pipeline at
all times, and if all you did was maintain your pipeline,
you would not experience growth. I can already hear the
argument that maintaining your pipeline is important,
and I do not disagree at all, BUT it is something that
you should already be doing! These three needle movers
are supposed to be production-driven. They are things
that will increase the productivity of your team and/or
increase your production. These are the three tasks that
if you get them done by the end of the week, you will
see a substantial change in your business.
Your goal at the end of the week is to have com-
pleted your three needle movers. The most important
aspect of this business practice is to keep yourself ac-
countable for your three things. In order to get things
done in an effective manner, do not write the same
thing two weeks in a row. The most effective people
identify a task, write it down, then focus on the spe-
cific task and get it done. When filling out and execut-
ing these three needle movers, it is critical to focus on
them so the next week, you can focus on new ones and
you can continue to improve.
When I changed my thought process and changed
the question I asked myself every day, I began to focus
on more substantial tasks. I left the “sand” to take care
of itself and became a more effective leader and busi-
ness owner. Don’t let it scare you when I say it will be
taken care of. The “sand” tasks can still be done in be-
tween your needle movers. However, they should not
be your highest priorities anymore. They are not the
tasks that are going to increase your production.
In summary, to get started, I recommend every-
one start each Monday morning by writing down the
three things that will move the needle in their busi-
ness. Once you have them written down, show these
to your mentor, manager, and/or coach. This way,
you can keep yourself accountable, and you also have
a partner to keep you accountable. Start on the first
needle mover, and once it is done, check it off and
show your accountability partner. At the end of the
week, use it as a report card to show yourself how
well you are doing and what you need to focus on
next week. Remember, try to ensure that your needle
movers are different each week.
If you put this business practice in place—start
each Monday by asking yourself the powerful question,
open every single day with your specific plan, and get
them done by the end of the week—you’ll see a radical
change in your business. ■
