Desperate in Virginia

[Sasha]

Ok I just got out of the Navy with the hopes of making it big as a loan officer but finding it hard to generate Leads. I know you have probable heared this sob story before but I have a family to take care of and no more checks on the 1st and the 15th.

If anybody knows a serious place to get good leads at a reasonable price let me know

We offer 100% telemarketed leads that are less than 24 hours old. Check out our website http://www.bestratereferrals.com or give me a call at 800-811-1402.

Sasha,

I was in the navy in the past and I can definitely relate to you. I know how hard it is to adjust yourself into the civilian world after you get out of the service. My advise for you is to have a regular 9-5 for now while you establish yourself. At the same time, continue the LO venture from 5-9 and even weekends. Remember the old sane that our chiefs and our salty officers used to say (of course, most of them still say it b/c they're still in the service..), "It takes 1 year to know your rate, 4 years to be good at it, and 8 years to master it".

I remember when I got out in 2001... I had 3 jobs. I was working on my very 1st business (MyNetMarketer: Selling E-mail Marketing System), working as a bar back and server at TGIF and doing the navy reserve thing on the weekends. But after putting 2 years into my business, I was able to quit the USN Reserves and TGIF and the company that I was working-on was bought out for $800k (of course it was divided into 8 investors). My cut after everything, tax, etc. was only $40,000... but that was $40k that I was able to invest to start another business which is GetLeads Network.

Once again, I had to repeat the cycle back to square one. In 2003 biz was OK and I was making a little money. 2004 was a definite boom b/c internet mortgage leads were hot like pancakes and by the beginning of 2005 business was a drop. Now 3 years later, business is back on the rise again and if I ever decide to sell it... there's only 1 investor. ME!!! On top of it all, I'm opening a credit reporting venture which will be my new toy.

So, the point of my story is, life is not supposed to be easy. Put your time into being a loan officer but at the meantime get some income flowing-in by getting a regular 9-5. Don't feel like your a failure b/c you had higher expectations before you got out. You have to start from scratch again and consider your next 1-1/2 year in the civilian world to be buried under the sand until you're feet is back on the ground.

I know this may sound harsh but I'd rather not sugar coat it for you. It's better to lay everything on the table and expect it ahead of you. Feel free to call me if you ever feel like you need to speak with me.

Thanks,
Carlo

Go talk to people. Start a casual conversation and move into what you do and see if you can be of assistance.

How many deals do you have working right now?
