OTHER GOOD FEEDBACK
· Expand on three bullets why your firm/ yrs in business, number of states licensed in, number of loans funded last year, low rates, paramount pledge, corporate giving, charity, BBB rating etc, fannie/freddie direct,
· Expand on three bullets about our process/24-48 hr turn times, “Green” paperless systems, free 15 days on our locks, value 360 relationship, e-sign discos, ellie-mae loan center, safe data practices, one person throughout process...They're not just a loan number in the matrix of loan processing mecca.
· Expand on three bullets to expand on why YOU!...
Don’t think that since you only have 90 days as a MS that you have to tuck your tail here!
Be creative and spin it based on your background, education, clubs, associations, memberships, current MLO/NMLS licenses held, family, where you grew up, sports teams, charity/volunteer work, always return calls, emails in 12-24 hrs etc.
Tell a story on the most recent loan that you closed and how you overcame a similar situation to theirs!
The key with the personal piece is that you MUST find a link that THEY can relate to!
Find a unique common denominator so they remember YOU and your company!
These borrowers can be getting quotes and GFE’s from up to four to five lenders.
If you travel down these paths the right way and connect with your client, you will have zero issues with customer loyalty!
NOTE TO SELF!
Unless they bring up Politics or Religion DO/TRY NOT to offer your personal feedback!
Do your best to keep it neutral!!
They express hate for either Romney or Obama, say; “jeez, I have no desire to be The President….cackle, cackle”…change subjects to the World Cup/Weather/dogs or cats and head back to your sale.
They say that they are devout Catholics and you just so happen to have gone to a Private Catholic School when you were younger, say something like, “ Oh wow, I went to St. Simon & Judes Private School from age 4-17! but leave it there. Dont bust out your bible and start diggin in to scripture.
They say they are from Boston, say WOW, is it true that MIT is only 15 min outside the city?
Safe banter is fine though! They say they love Kobe Bryant, you can say that he’s getting old at the ripe young age of 32 ( is he 32 now?)
Just be careful on religion no matter what they say and throw in a “By the way”, head back to your sale !
Remember, time is money and money is time.
Some of these people are “yappers” and will waste your day and never do a loan with you if you let them!!
If you keep it all business and go for the money too early, they can’t separate you from the pack and will always divert back to rate!!
The point is that you are courting these people and small subtle verbal disconnects or moments of silence will lose their interest FAST and vice-versa.
Appeal to their senses and be an ethical good person.
You sense they need leadership, offer it.
You sense they are a control freak, offer it.
