The phrase “Sometimes it’s easier to ride a horse in the direction it’s going” resonates deeply with mortgage originators, especially when considering how to best allocate their efforts in business development. Rather than constantly seeking new strategies, there’s significant value in leveraging your natural strengths and preferences.

This approach is about streamlining your activities to align with what you do best. For instance, if you excel at and enjoy engaging with clients face-to-face, maximize these interactions rather than forcing yourself to tackle tasks that feel unnatural or burdensome. This might mean delegating cold calls or administrative tasks to others who are more proficient and satisfied with these roles.

Focusing on your strengths not only enhances productivity but also injects more joy and satisfaction into your workday, encouraging consistency and longevity in your career. This doesn’t mean abandoning necessary tasks that you’re less fond of, but rather finding ways to integrate them with your strengths or finding someone whose skills complement yours, ensuring all critical aspects of the business are handled effectively.

For mortgage originators, this could look like partnering with a colleague who excels in analysis or paperwork while you focus on client relations and networking. It’s about creating a symbiotic environment where everyone plays to their strengths, thus moving the whole team forward more efficiently.

Remember, like riding a horse in the direction it’s already going, when you align your business practices with your personal inclinations and strengths, you reduce resistance and increase the likelihood of success and fulfillment. Embrace the tasks that ignite your passion and delegate or partner for those that don’t, harnessing the collective strengths of your team for optimal results. This strategic focus not only improves productivity but also enhances your overall job satisfaction, leading to a more rewarding career in the mortgage industry.

Being a mortgage loan officer is all about building relationships and helping people achieve their dream of homeownership. But the core of success in this field hinges on one thing: making phone calls. For many loan officers, however, dialing up prospects is where the hesitation kicks in.

They encounter a trifecta of hurdles:

• Target Confusion: Who are the ideal prospects to call?
• Script Slump: What should they articulate during these calls?
• Rejection Rodeo: The fear of rejection can be paralyzing.

Sound familiar? Here’s the uplifting news: call reluctance is a hurdle you can clear.

At Mortgage Marketing Animals (MMA), we’ve crafted an impactful strategy known as the Daily Success Plan. This initiative isn’t just a series of steps; it’s a comprehensive immersion designed to shift you from dread to enthusiasm about making calls.

The Power of Daily Immersion

The Daily Success Plan maps out each day with themed activities aimed at not just making calls, but making them count. The real magic, however, lies in the continuous engagement with the program.

Here’s how MMA enhances this immersion and drives you toward call excitement:

• The Loan Officer Breakfast Club: Join this free daily live Zoom call (8:30 AM ET, Monday-Friday) and connect with 400-600 other mortgage professionals. The energy and camaraderie of this community are palpable. It’s not just about information; it’s about feeling part of a tribe committed to mutual success.
• Multiple Weekly Live Calls: Engage further with additional live sessions throughout the week. These calls offer targeted support and keep you actively involved with your goals.

By regularly engaging in these sessions, you surround yourself with positive reinforcement, actionable strategies, and a community that gets the challenges you face. This ongoing engagement is what transforms call reluctance into call excitement.
