“Strike Rate, Stale Leads, and Regret”
In this unfiltered episode of The MLO Project, Frazier and Michael go off the rails (and the map) with a fiery breakdown of one of the most neglected goldmines in the mortgage business: your damn database.
Coming off the Accelerate session at Fuse, the guys break down why strike rate conversations are a no-brainer, why most LOs fumble their past client relationships, and why assuming someone else isn’t talking to your past client is the biggest mistake you can make.
This one’s part strategy, part mindset slap, and 100% a reality check for any LO who’s sitting on a list of names and numbers they haven’t touched in years.
💣 Topics Covered:
- Why your stale database is still your biggest asset
- What “strike rate” really means—and why you need one for every past client
- The biggest mistake brokers make with CRMs
- What Barry Habib, Jonathon Haddad, and top brokers agree on
- The “plan, not pitch” approach to reactivating leads
- How to use conversations as currency—because silence doesn’t convert
- Why assuming they’re not talking to another LO is how you lose
- Creating actual relevance in your follow-ups (no generic “just checking in” crap)
📌 Tactical Moves You’ll Learn:
- How to create personalized strike rate targets for every client
- Scripts for breaking the silence with old leads
- The “Plan on Paper” strategy (aka: the only follow-up they won’t throw away)
- How to stop asking “what should I say?” and start saying the right things
- Why every convo should create the next convo—and how to do it
🎯 Bottom line: If you're not talking to your database, someone else is.
Start acting like your past clients are future income, not ancient history.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
