What if the best way to grow your mortgage business was sitting in your Facebook friends list?
Jim Pearson didn’t need ads or fancy automation to generate leads—just a spreadsheet, some well-written DMs, and a little courage. In this episode, he breaks down exactly how he turned 500 direct messages into 20 legit mortgage leads, and how he’s using tools like TextExpander to scale his communication without burning out.
If you’re hesitant to reach out to your network, this episode is your playbook for doing it right—and doing it consistently.
We’ll cover:
- No List? No Problem. – How copying his Facebook friends into a spreadsheet became a 20-lead strategy.
