In this episode, I discuss the inefficiencies in the mortgage pre-approval process, and share the best practices to streamline it, emphasizing the importance of understanding the client journey, optimizing lead intake, and conducting effective discovery calls. I also highlight the significance of following-up, presenting proposals, and the necessity of having a structured approach to client communication.
In this episode, I argue why you should skip a traditional business plan, and instead implement 30-day sprints on focused objectives that improve your business. By solving one problem monthly instead of chasing vague yearly goals, you build dummy-proofed systems that actually get completed, which will transform your business entirely.
