Since your company is most likely supporting commissioned sales personnel, the issue of marketing support will be extremely relevant.  We will divide this area of support into three sections—

Public Relations > General Advertising > Individualized Support



Public Relations

The area of public relations may be separate from marketing, but the goal of public relations is much the same.  The goal is to create positive name identification in the public eye and to either produce public response or pave the way for positive public response with future marketing efforts.  As most mortgage entities in the United States are smaller in stature, it is not likely that the company employs full-time public relations personnel.  However, there still are opportunities for a mortgage company to create a positive brand identity...

Competition is fierce, perhaps fiercer than it has ever been and you have to stand out in a personal, emotional way. Experience, skills and assets will go unnoticed without name recognition and trust. Personal branding gives you the visibility necessary to develop an emotional connection along with establishing credibility with potential customers and referral partners.
You are the owner of your own business – act like it and look like it. It doesn’t matter who signs the paycheck. You are the only one with 100% interest in your success. Set aside the necessary resources (time and money) to create your own brand.

Past Clients

Past client marketing has and always will be your best investment of marketing dollars if you did a good job on their previous transaction. These clients know your loan process and know whether your promises hold true or not so if they have a need you should be the first one they think of calling, however, the statistics on past clients remembering the name of their loan officer are extremely low.  Therefore, you need to take the time to develop a past client marketing campaign to become the loan originator they remember.

The F.O.R.M. sales call method is an old sales strategy but the timing is perfect for you to implement it right away.  F.O.R.M. is just an acronym that stands for Family, Occupation, Recreation, and Money and you can use it as a guide when you conduct follow...
