AMPNATE,

May I inquiry your location? Then I will give you a nugget.(Nugget stands for small information that is worth it's wait in gold).

LWelch. That was good info and I have tried and suceeded at them all. I've only been open 3 weeks and was hoping to do it primarily with these realtors. I thank you for the feedback.

AMP,

Never heard of your town, but I am sure there are alot of small businesses that would benefit from a free seminar for their employees designed to teach them about budgeting, how to find the best loan for their personal needs, what it takes to get a loan, how to read a credit report, what it takes to get pre-qualified for a loan to buy a home, etc. etc. Many small businesses are over looked because they are small.

Show people you care and they will be yours for life.

Enjoy the nugget!

It's almost like a local 'watering hole', huh? Hoping there's a hidden answer out there, and that kind strangers will give you a helping hand, what a delightful thought.

When you get back on your feet and need to attract customers, that CD Lesson we have which refer to above 98 Ways to Find Customers IS the solution to that issue ... meanwhile take a look at this new feature we have on our main website today: Free Lesson! ... it's all about industry ADVERTISING

(maybe) You need a team of LOs to work under you, posting on craigs list might help, but you do not want to just rely on that.
Also, tidy up on your current events- make sure you are with the program and that there aren't any real situations that really take you by sub prize. All in all it seems like you are not in such a bad position and hopefully everything will work out. That said I would also take erik's advice and close some really tough loans. The truth is that near the time I was leaving the first company I was with I, similarly, did close some tough loans for some high fees and this does get you respect amongst companies. Also, Erik has a site loanofficersurvival.com which is excellent, I wish I knew about it when I first started. I don't think you'll personally get a lot from the audios considering your experience but, any newbies that join suggest an audio or 2 a night to really boost their confidence and knowledge. Best of luck.

I'm in the office with a real estate firm and they will do whatever to assist me. In my career I only wrote three purchases, (refi-boom). I am open to any and all feedback on how do I do this all over again and what direction should I go in with these agents?

Ampnate,

Since you started as a TM, managed a call center, and then continued from there, I'm sure you understand the value of telemarketing and cold calling.

Since your resources are relatively low right now I recommend that you generate your own leads. With a good cold calling system you can generate anything. Whether that is refi leads or purchase leads.

If you want to discuss this further please feel free to give me a shout,
I can set you up with the best data, best dialer, and even help you with pitches/rebutals that have been working.

Best regards,

Honest. Reliable. Hard working. We are ELIEMAE FINANCIAL a division of CREDICO MARKETING.

It is a tough market right now. However, you got one strength that some LOs does not have. Your telemarketing skills. Touch base with a title rep to start farming. And since you're in a realtor's office, you're an in-house LO.

Then slowly go into the online world. I don't know how confident you are with blogs but you could get a free account with Blogger.com. Write several valuable articles about what you can do to help in the market right now. Leave your contact info and then keep on adding.

Hope this helps a little.
