PUT ME IN, COA Practical advice from top coaches and originators to help with volume and stress BY GEORGE YACIK | CONTRIBUTING WRITER, NATIONAL MORTGAGE PROFESSIONAL
T
here’s a challenge to being a mortgage broker. Your shops can be small with often just one or two folks. There’s no in-house coaching that helps you stay motivated, focused and upbeat. Compound that with the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic. Networking events and educational programs you once would have attended – that help boost your enthusiasm and right your ship when you are floundering – suddenly vanished with the lockdown. As psychologists know, without a support system, it’s easy to magnify minor issues and blow them out of proportion.
We know what it’s like. After all, National Mortgage Professional was almost entirely remote for three months, too. That’s why we reached out to the mortgage industry’s top coaches and motivators to offer words of advice to help
brokers through this period. And, we also sought the counsel of originators and brokers, too. After all, there’s some bad advice out there you might want to avoid so your career can keep moving forward and keep that cash flowing in. It’s a great time to be in the business. Interest rates are at record lows, so originators are being inundated with refinance applications. Let’s keep you focused so you can handle the volume.
