Build Credibility

Generate Leads

One of the very first concerns of a potential lender is can they trust you. If they don't they are not going to hand over their money. And while your personality and building a relationship can ease minds, having good documentation to prove you know what you are doing can go a long way. So take the time to develop a credibility kit in several different forms that contains your bio, your team members, what you do, certificates and awards, testimonials, before and after photos, case studies of deals, testimonials, memberships and associations (Like MAREI), and good press that may have been written about your company.

There are several ways to generate new leads for potential lenders. By far the easiest is talking to people you meet in every day life beyond that you need to seek out people you don't know through advertising, direct mail, or events like home shows. Be sure with each lead generation you do have a plan and a strategy. Know what you can and can't do within the law, have your pitch and presentation ready, and practice what you are going to say.
