QUOTES

05:14 "The best salespeople become resources to their prospective customers in such a way that you essentially eliminate competition. So what most people would do is if you aren't ready to buy a home or mortgage and you don't close today ... they pretty much move on to the next lead."

07:06 "Salespeople can elevate their game is understanding that you can't control timing. Even if there is 'triggering event' that would likely want to purchase your job is to understand you don't control timing, they do."

11:49 "Another problem that salespeople make is that they try to close everybody. Well everybody is not your customer."

15:21 "If you sell from a scarcity mentality, if you sell to a prospect who is more educated than you about it, you're going to lose the sale anyway."

19:35 "If you get real refined about who it is you wanna sell to, who you want to be an expert to and who do you want to be known as your life gets easier."

26:26 "You are in control of your business, you're in control of who you want to be in the marketplace. I decided that I wasn't going to be a rate junkie, that was what we called them in the game. I'm going to be an adviser, that's how I approach my business ... and that simple distinction means you behave in a different way."

32:38 "The digital marketspace feels very much as nasty and scammy as some of the days in the mortgage industry ... I talk to business owners today, and they're in such a jam, a mess because of someone who 'call themselves an SEO expert.'"
