Every month it blows my mind how, even in a tough market, certain loan officers and leaders are outperforming everyone else.
I had to figure out why, so I studied what they do, and it comes down to 5 things.
First, they’re marketing themselves like crazy in their community.
Second, they have an insane follow-up—no leads get left behind.
Third, they know how to work through the tough deals, they don’t quit.
Fourth, they partner closely with their ops team to make everything flow.
And lastly, they understand the power of being with the right platform—loanDepot, baby!
Huge shout-out to this team for another incredible month!�Keep going strong, this is how you WIN!
💪 Let's keep winning!

Struggling with prospecting? Here are 3 key tips to help you succeed this week! 📈
Use this text line to reach out: "Hey Charlie, I don’t know if this is for you, but I have an opening on my team. I'd love to talk to you about your business and see if I can help. Are you available next Tuesday at 10 am for a quick call?"
Rejection is part of the game. Stay patient and consistent. People are not rejecting you; they’re rejecting the opportunity or the timing.
Plan for 7 meetings before securing a new team member. Always ask: "What do you think the next step should be?"
Leverage your leaders for guidance.
The biggest mistake I made as a leader was thinking I was the hero. 🚫👑
As a leader of leaders, I learned that my role is to be the guide, not the hero. This realization transformed my team and helped us thrive.
Did you know it takes 7 meetings before someone will know, like, and trust you? 🤔
As a regional manager at LoanDepot, I’ve built one of the most successful mortgage teams by focusing on consistent follow-ups. Review your pipeline and aim for at least 7 meetings to close those deals!
Stop confusing busyness with growth! 🚫🔄
As a leader, your focus should be on growing your business, not just managing the pipeline. I’m Chris, a regional manager at LoanDepot, and I’m here to help you build a successful team.
👉 Review your pipeline a few hours a week. 👉 Spend the rest of your time mentoring, developing, and prospecting.
Let’s shift from maintenance to growth together!

As a loan officer, think of yourself as the pilot, not the mechanic of the plane. Your role is to navigate clients from point A to point B smoothly. If you spend all your time fixing one client’s "plane," you miss the opportunity to pilot many others to their destinations. Focus on piloting and let others handle the mechanics.
Embrace your role as the pilot. Prioritize guiding clients to their goals over getting bogged down in details. This approach not only helps more clients but also maximizes your impact and efficiency.
