EPISODE DESCRIPTION
In this episode, Bekim is joined by Gord Appel. Gord is a Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Indi Mortgage, formerly Axiom Mortgage Solutions, from Calgary, Alberta. Being in sales his whole life, everything from door-to-door vacuum sales to retail electronics, Gord was able to develop the soft skills that have become a major key to his success. Gord has been in mortgages for 20 years now, and running Indi Mortgage for the last five and a half with his business partner, Gord Ross, and their silent partner, Tanya Appel, and has become a respected leader in the mortgage industry.
Gord is here to discuss:
→ How you can start your mortgage business with $50, advice to new agents, and why you should never say, "I'm a mortgage broker".
→ How to market to your sphere of influence, why friends and family won't work with you, and the importance of patience in long sales cycles.
→ Being present as a leader, the power of listening, and Indi's broker-centric approach to business.
