It is a slow month in Metro Detroit and your pipeline is thin. Rates moved, a couple of your realtor partners started sending customers to another lender, and your past borrowers have not heard from you since their closing. You know you need marketing, but every idea has to clear compliance first.
With loan officer marketing set up for you, your past customers hear from you about rates and refinance chances, your realtor partners get co-marketing that helps them win listings and buyers, and first time buyers find your education content. Every piece goes through your compliance review before it goes out.
Your phone gets busier and steadier. Agents see you as a partner who helps them grow, past customers come back and refer friends and your pipeline does not drop every time rates move.
