Mortgage leads can be bought in quite a few different varieties. And depending on which loan officer you ask, some are better than others.
If you buy leads in bulk, most likely you will be buying old or recycled leads.
Mortgage leads can also be bought by way of cherry picking, where you can actually view the lead before you purchase it. You can also see how many times it has been purchased by other loan officers.
Or, you can buy your leads “fresh,” or hot off the press.
All types of leads can have their benefits to loan officers, but it is very difficult to compete with fresh leads.
You won’t be hearing objections, such as:
“I did that months ago,” or “I closed that loan last week.”
Mortgage leads that are sold fresh, or in real time are delivered to your doorstep the second the potential customer hits the submit button on the on-line application.
If you are a loan officer or mortgage broker interested in the purchase of fresh leads, be sure you know where the lead provider is obtaining their leads from in order to assure their quality.
Look for the lead companies that obtain their leads through web sites that they own and operate on their own.
Steer clear of the mortgage lead companies that purchase their leads from third party vendors and than sell them to loan officers at a profit.
You never know how many times that third party vendor is selling those leads to other lead companies.
In the end, if it is quality that you are looking for, than give serious consideration to the purchase of fresh leads.

The art of backend selling
The backend sale can be more rewarding than
the original sale. And it can also be much
easier.
What exactly is a backend sale?
After you have sold something to somebody
you are in an excellent position to sell them
something else which complements the first sale.
You already know the customer has an interest
in a certain type of product or service, so
they are prequalified leads for a backend sale.
Take a store selling fishing tackle, as they
have just sold you a rod, reel, and line they
know you are going fishing, so they also offer
you the bait you will need.
The customer who has just bought is also in a
buying mood, and has his wallet, credit card
or cash out. While he/she is there, there is
a good chance they will be open to another
purchase from you, as they already trusted
you once.
Here is a story of a backend sale I once had
which illustrates how it can work for you.
I had a customer purchase a membership to
a safelist I was running, but he then decided
that it didn’t work for him. He requested his
money back, which I happily supplied, but added
to the end of the email that he may like to try
a different way of advertising, and I was an
affiliate for a company which could offer him
an alternative. I received an affiliate payment
for 50% of a $60 sale, on the back of returning
the $5 membership fee.
Now that was good enough for me to realise the
value in the backend sale.
Try it out for yourself, on your thank you page
add a link to a complementary product your
customer can purchase on his way off your site.
Your bank manager will love you for it.

It pays to be specific. I believe that statement is true. If it is true, why do so many salespeople pepper their sales presentations with phrases of generalities? There are two primary reasons. One is habit and the other is instinct.
So many people in and out of sales speak in generalities. It’s really hard to pin them down for the details. If speaking in generalities comes so naturally to so many people - it has to be instinctive. In sales it’s tempting to impress new and prospective customers. One of the ways salespeople do this is with their product and service presentations.
These presentations often include references to the following:
=> How many products are in your product line?
=> How many years your company has been in business?
=> How many customers you have worked with.
=> How much of your business is repeat business?
=> How much of a discount you’re planning to offer to get the business?
=> How much your product improves productivity?
=> How much your product reduces the cost of doing something?
When the time is right to begin talking about your products you’d be a fool not talk about these things. But for some inexplicable reason salespeople usually follow a similar path. Let’s review this list and see how salespeople tend to use all of the above during a sales presentation.
=> We have over 20,000 products in our product line.
=> Our Company has been in business more than 30 years.
=> Our customer database includes more than 30,000 customers.
=> Last year more than 50% of our business came from existing customers.
=> Because of the quantity you’re buying I’m delighted to offer you a 20% discount.
=> Our product will improve your department’s productivity at least 20%.
=> Our product will reduce the operating costs for this project by more than 10%.
Do you notice what all these statements have in common? All of the numbers cited end in a zero. Zeros seldom add credibility. In fact, they detract from it. Salespeople tend to feel more secure when they’re not pinned down by the specifics. Generalities make you feel good, but they don’t make you sound good.
It takes a great deal of self-discipline and determination to speak with any degree of specificity. Here’s an example that has repeated itself many times.Whenever I conduct an on-site sales training program (usually one-half day) I always provide the decision-maker, because he’s usually the one who introduces me, with a prepared introduction. It’s exactly what I want him to say and it also takes the pressure off him to improvise something at the last minute.
The last three lines of my introduction are:
– He has worked with 458 different organizations.
– Last year 68% of his business was repeat business.
– Jim Meisenheimer, Inc. has achieved 16 consecutive years of increased sales and profitability.
All the introducer has to do is read the introduction.Here’s how the last three lines are often delivered. He has worked with over 400 different organizations. Last year more than 60% of his business was repeat business.
Jim Meisenheimer, Inc. has increased sales every year he’s been in business.
Ironically, even with a written script the generalities come bubbling to the surface. Let’s try it one more time and see if you can sense the difference.
=> We have 21,973 products in our product line as of July 1st.
=> Our Company has been in business 33 years.
=> Our customer database includes 32,877 customers.
=> Last year 57.5% of our business came from existing customers.
=> Because of the quantity you’re buying I’m delighted to offer you a savings of $785.34.
=> Our product improved ABC Customer’s productivity by 23.6%.
=> Our product reduced the operating costs for XYZ by 12.7%.
Okay, let’s wrap it up. Think about these five questions.
1. Do you want to get someone’s attention?
2. Do you want to create the impression that you’ve done your homework?
3. Do you want to build credibility throughout your sales presentation?
4. Do you want to differentiate yourself from your competition?
5. Do you want to increase your sales?
You can do all of these things and more if you trade-in your generalities for more specifics. Specifics are more credible and believable than generalities.
Simply stated, you’ll become more believable and credible as soon as you become more specific.

It may sound funny, but honestly, if you’re opening up your own retail store the last thing you’ll ever want to do again for the rest of your life is buy anything retail — especially if it’s for your own store. Buying your store fixtures wholesale is not only mandatory it’s a last resort after you’ve tried buying antique fixtures at a fraction of the cost. Even if you’ve hired a top-notch retail store designer, he or she should be buying your fixtures and other materials at prices even better than wholesale. The designer should be charging for his services and not making a markup on the raw materials.
If you’re setting up your store by yourself, you have to shop around to know the best wholesale prices to pay for your fixtures. But expect to pay full price for the design and manufacture of items that must be custom-made for you. For example, if you want a certain look imitated in a new material you can expect to pay a premium for that service as well. But if your tastes are not too esoteric and if your product can be handled tastefully in a variety of attractive displays you should have no trouble finding the right fixtures at the right wholesale prices to fit your budget. Research and flexibility is the key here. After all, whatever it is that you are selling, you wouldn’t pay retail for it, so why pay retail for the fixtures?
There are numerous store fixture wholesalers in and around every city in
America. There are enough stores in existence in any major city and enough new ones opening up to make the wholesale market for fixtures a healthy and competitive one. Visit them, get their catalogues when you are planning the look of your store and ask them about closeouts and discontinued items for sale. Their business, like yours, changes with the seasons, the trends and technology. Give yourself time to make your purchase and you may end up getting the fixtures you’ve been wanting at prices even better than you expected.
Store Fixtures Info provides detailed information on metal, antique, wholesale, and used store fixtures and store fixture parts. Store Fixtures Info is the sister site of Mannequins Web.

Remembering a customer’s name can improve your sales. However,
people in my workshops often tell me that they have a difficult
time remembering names. I sometimes think we tend to get too
hung up on trying to recall a person’s name, especially if we
have only met them once. Like anything else mental, the harder
you try to remember someone’s name, the more it will elude you.
However, there are a few things you can do that will help;
1. One of the most common tips is to repeat their name as they
introduce themselves. “Hi Chris, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
As you introduce yourself think of a mental or visual image that
can help you recall their face. For example, if your customer
appears somewhat gruff you could say to yourself, “Chris is
cross.” This process helps you connect their name and physical
appearance and can make it easier to recall their name at a
later date.
An interesting challenge occurs when we meet someone for the
first time. Many people forget the other person’s name
immediately after meeting them - I know this has happened to me
at conferences and networking meetings. The reason is simple; as
the other person is introducing themselves, we are usually
thinking about our introduction and what we’ll say to make a
good first impression. We think about the handshake and hope we
connect properly. And in some situations our attention is
focused elsewhere.
2. The next step is to use their name a few times during your
conversation. This will help you remember that person’s name
during your meeting and for a short period of time afterwards.
An easy way to do this is to ask them a question and include
their name. Here’s an example, “So, what type of business of you
in Jim?” or “Jim, what is the biggest business challenge you’re
currently facing?” This approach appears relaxed and comfortable
and is a natural way for you to use the other person’s name. One
important note - do not overuse their name or you will come
across as insincere and phony.
3. When you return to work record that person’s information in
your organizer along with any personal or business information
you learned during your conversation. If the person said or did
something that stood out, record this information as well. As
you do this, visualize that person and repeat their name aloud a
few times. This will help drive their name further into your
memory and make it easier to recall at a later date.
4. To recall that person’s name at anytime in the future
requires some additional work. You need to picture their face as
you state their name aloud several times. This should be done
several times a week for the first month and then on a weekly
basis for several months afterwards. While it seems like a lot
of work, it is an extremely effective approach and is virtually
guaranteed to help you remember someone’s name. 5. It’s also
important to understand that the setting will help you recall
names. For example, I can quickly remember the names of people
who attend my workshops but if I bump into them in a shopping
centre, it is highly unlikely I will recall their name. That’s
because we run through our mental Rolodex trying to figure out
where we met that individual. I remember That means you should
take the time to picture them in different settings - imagine
where you could run into them and visualize what they would look
like in that environment.
6. The last suggestion is to focus on remembering the person
rather than their name. People are very forgiving about name if
you are able to recall their face. I have had people attend a
workshop and even though they participated in a previous
program, I can’t remember their name. I admit that by saying, “I
recognize the face but I can’t recall your name.” I have never
had anyone express disappointment that I didn’t remember their
name.
There is no question that it is more difficult to remember names
if you meet dozens of people everyday. However, people in these
situations seldom expect you to remember their name after just
one meeting. Also, remember that most people have a difficult
time recalling names. I remember delivering a full-day workshop
for a company and a year later conducting another program at
their annual conference. When I arrived at the second
conference, I instantly recognized one of my contacts but I did
not remember the other person even though we had met and spoken
at the previous conference. Like anything else, we can improve
our ability to remember the names of our customers and people we
meet. It takes some effort and practice but the result is
definitely worth it.
