If you are a loan officer or mortgage broker and you invest in mortgage leads, or you are considering investing in mortgage leads, make sure you are making the most of them.

A lead provider, if they are a good one, can provide you with a good quality lead, the rest is up to you.

The lead provider has no control over what the potential customer might say.

Put yourself in the customer’s shoes. Purchasing a home or refinancing an existing one are very big financial decisions in the life of the consumer. They most likely will be a little apprehensive.

When you call a lead you receive from a lead provider, and the customer seems to be in a stand off mood, say something like this.

“Would you mind if I just went over some of the programs we have to offer, it will only take a minute of your time, and it will cost you absolutely nothing.”

This approach takes the pressure off of the customer, and nine times out of ten, they will move forward with you and listen to what it is you have to offer.

If a customer says they are no longer interested, it is only because they lost their nerve.

Say something like this.

” Oh, that is too bad, I have a lot of great programs that fit the description of the profile you filled out on line, it will only take a minute and it will cost you nothing.”

You will be surprised at the responses you receive.

Whatever you do, don’t give up after the first try. It is all about the approach. You do the talking, tell them what they need to hear about your products, it will make a huge difference in the amount of loans you close.

The honor stole is made of two sides or it can also be made of one side where it is worn vertically and that with two strips is worn horizontally. The one with two sides can have engravings on both sides or on one side symbolizing what kind of honor that one is receiving. These honor stoles might be awarded to the graduates in place of honor chords and medallions.

We’ve all heard of the Pareto Principle or the 80/20 Rule as it is often called, but today I want to introduce you to another theory that is gaining widespread acceptance. You can call it the “10/90 Potential Theory.”

The “10/90 Potential Theory” suggests that each of us reach only about 10% of our true potential. For reasons that range from lack of knowledge, to an aversion to change, to our desire to remain in our “comfort zone,” to outright laziness, we fail to take the necessary steps to realize the massive 90% of our potential that we leave on the table. When you think about it, it’s outrageous! Think of the happiness, the joy, the love, the wealth that is not being realized! Now consider this…by reaching only 20% of our potential, we can DOUBLE or accomplishments!

Today, we are going to consider some very basic and practical applications to help you double your accomplishments in life. There are 4 keys to unlocking that potential. You can take each of these and apply them to any aspect of your life, to reach “________ Success Beyond Your Wildest Dreams,” but for today, let’s look at how you can use them to reach “Sales Success Beyond Your Wildest Dreams.” So, without further adieu, let’s look at the 4 key areas of what we call the other 90%. The 4 keystones are Trust, Energy, Vision, and Nerve.

1) Trust is all about building and sustaining exceptional relationships. You have to look at establishing a level of trust and rapport within the first 5 or 10 minutes of meeting someone. Remember building and sustaining these relationships is the keystone. Right now, take out a sheet of paper and list 3 ways to build trust with your customers and prospects.

2) Energy. Increase your calm effectiveness under pressure. This is very important. You must have an optimistic presence of mind, recognize when tense energy is taking over and also realize that tense energy wipes out a lot of your own energy and stamina at any given time. Look at distancing yourself from noise, negativity, and anger, taking essential breaks and strategic pauses. Knowing how to convert tense energy into positive energy will take you a lot further in making the sale.

3) Vision means creating your own future. Keep glancing ahead, hope irrationally, always look at the potential, take more risk. It’s very important to constantly visualize what you want. You have probably read this and heard this before, but it’s very critical to use for success in sales. Focus on what you want until it becomes your dominant thought. Have a vision for where you want to be and what you want to accomplish in your life. It is an accepted fact that we tend to move away from things we don’t want, i.e., avoiding pain, rather than moving toward the things we want, i.e. pleasure. If moving away from the pain dominates your thoughts, then you don’t have time to think about what you really want. Instead visualize your ultimate destination and where you want to be rather than thinking about what you want to avoid. Create your very own future, full of pleasure rather than absent pain.

4) Courage. Make adversity your ally. Reach deeper. Look forward. Search harder. Accept that setbacks will happen and they yield wisdom. Test and strengthen your spirit.

We can be better than 10%. We WILL be better! Think about this…we have the potential to increase our success level by tenfold! Now, does doubling, tripling, or even quadrupling your sales results still seem out of reach. We must first recognize what we are missing and then commit to doing what it takes to change it. Start today and begin your journey to “Sales Success Beyond Your Wildest Dreams!” You can do it. Start today!

Other articles in this series looked at a number of exercises, mainly from the perspective of developing a comprehensive muscle building program. Sometimes we take things for granted, especially when it comes to performing the basic exercises that constitute the core of most bodybuilders’ training regimes.

It is useful, therefore, to describe in detail the processes involved in actually doing these exercises. This will help beginners to start out using the correct techniques before moving on to potentially more dangerous heavy weights. If it also helps more experienced lifters to redress some of the little faults that have almost imperceptibly crept in over the years, all the better.

Grasp the handle with palms facing inward. Straighten arms, sit on padding and place feet on the floor rests. Maintain slightly bent knees. Lean forward with head but keep back straight.

EXERCISE TECHNIQUE

Bring the torso to an erect position whilst pulling handle towards the abdomen. Arch the back slightly and keep the elbows close to the torso. Return to the starting position. repeat this movement until the intended number of repetitions have been completed.

OTHER EXERCISES WORTH CONSIDERING

Another exercise worth considering is the T-Bar Row (additionally targets biceps brachialis but not trapezius muscles).

Obtaining mortgages and loans along with acquiring on credit all claim that your credit position is positive and that you aren’t suffering from bad credit.

“How important is age?”

In a nutshell, age is extremely important. A child who cannot handle being in kindergarten, or pre-school, will not be able to concentrate in a martial arts class. Before five years of age, any child who can focus in a martial arts class is exceptional.

We have successfully trained a few children who were, or are, four years of age. I don’t want to turn away the next Bruce Lee or Mozart, when he or she comes along, but there are a few factors to consider when a child is very young.

1. Can he or she let go of a parent’s hand and work independently, in a classroom setting? This is very important, unless you can find a martial arts teacher that will teach parent and child, together, in the same classroom.

2. What are your true goals? When a parent has a lot of patience, it is much easier to accomplish realistic goals of focusing in a classroom, improved motor skills, and enhanced athletic abilities. However, instant success and precision performance are not likely. In many cases, young karate students tend to “shine” around seven years of age or older, so why put your child under pressure?

3. How much of a distraction is a young child going to be in a karate class? If your child is used to being the center of attention, this won’t work in a martial arts class. Time is shared with other students, and the objective is to learn everything in the daily lesson plan. This cannot be accomplished if a child is screaming for attention.

Within our Karate studio, in North Providence, we have a no pressure screening process for young children, as a measure, to see if joining our kids Karate classes will be a good relationship for the parents, child, and the Karate studio. This is why we have a free 30-day trial membership, with no obligations on either side.

As a parent, you want your child to get the optimum martial arts experience every time they train. This can only happen if the martial arts school establishes clear guidelines for conduct and if all the children participating are “team players.”

Otherwise, parents do not get their money’s worth and children waste time in a Karate class, while the child who gets the most attention is a discipline problem.

Within a child’s mind, being responsible for his or her actions is a matter of developing awareness, and everything is a new experience. As adults, we know that this knowledge comes with age, but each individual child grows at a different rate. Children are not “little adults,” and we cannot place adult expectations upon them.

If you put children into extremely high-pressure situations, they will not continue to enjoy the activity. Whether it is martial arts, academic school, or little league baseball, it is healthy for parents and children to have goals, but we all have to learn to accept life’s little setbacks without worry.

Why are some sales pitches more persuasive than others? Are
the salespeople just naturally more convincing, or do they
know secrets about creating a sales pitch that the rest of
us don’t?

Well, in most cases, convincing salespeople use special
elements within their pitches to help increase their
persuasiveness. These elements are not heavily guarded
secrets, though they are not commonly discussed in general
conversation either.

Two of the most overlooked and forgotten elements to an
effective sales pitch are:

1. The Visualization Step
2. The Call-to-action

Each element is easy to create and incredibly persuasive if
done correctly.

VISUALIZATION STEP – PUT THE BUYER IN THE PICTURE

A Visualization Step is a sentence (or two) which helps the
potential customer imagine or visualize what would happen if
they did, or did not, do what you are trying to persuade
them to do.

People think in pictures, not words. It’s so much easier to
explain something with a picture than it is with a set of
directions.

Just think about the last time you put together a piece of
furniture or constructed a toy for a child’s birthday gift.
Which was more helpful to putting the item together
correctly: the picture of the item on the box or the printed
directions? Of course, it was the picture.

Let’s look at an example of how you could use a
visualization step while selling a new product – SuperPrint.

“Imagine how much better your life would be if you used the
new SuperPrint product to handle all your printing needs -
not only could you reduce your printing budget by up to 68%,
you could also cut your printing time in half! What would
you do with all the extra money in your budget or the
additional time in your day?”

This example helps encourage the potential buyer to envision
her life if she did what you wanted her to do – buy the
SuperPrint product. She should start imaging herself doing
the things she just can’t seem to find the time for – like
reading, taking a seminar, or working on a new project.

In fact, to help solidify the image in her mind, get answers
from the potential client on what she would do with the
extra time or money gained by not using other slower, more
expensive printers. Once the customer uses her own words to
explain what would happen with the additional time or money,
she is more likely to buy, buy, buy.

=======>>> “If you had an additional two hours a week, what
would you do?”

=======>>> “If you had an additional $1,000 a month in your
budget, how would you spend it?”

=======>> How would an additional $1,000 a month help your
company?

This approach makes it personal to the potential customer
and her unique situation. If she uses the new SuperPrint
product, she’ll have more money and more time. What could
be better than that?

Let’s look at another example, one where you have to
persuade someone to give something up for nothing. This
tough sales situation is one that non-profit organizations
deal with all the time.

You work for a charitable organization that works to raise
awareness about the need to donate blood. Your job is to
increase the amount of blood which is donated every month,
and therefore, you obviously want more people to be
persuaded to give blood.

You need to create a Visualization Step that will cause the
potential donors to think about all the wonderful things
that would happen if they did give blood, or all of the
terrible things that would happen if they did not give
blood.

The visualization could sound something like:

“Think about your mother… brother… daughter… niece….
What if they were in an accident and badly needed blood for
a life-saving operation, but there wasn’t enough blood
available for them to have this operation because too few
people donated blood? Donating blood could save the life of
someone you care about.”

“If they don’t donate blood, perhaps someone close to them
may die. If they do donate blood, someone close to them may
be saved.”

Let’s use selling a house as a third example.

As the potential buyer wanders through the house, you can
use the Visualization Step to get him to begin imaging what
life would be like if he were to live in the house.

The potential buyer tells you he’s a consultant and author
and that he’s looking for a house where he can set up a home
office.

As you go through the house with the potential buyer, ask
him, “Where would you put your office in this house?”

As he answers, he will start imagining where his office will
be, where he will put his desk, and where he will set up his
filing cabinets.

Once he answers you, ask him why he chose that particular
room for his office.

This will make him think about his office in greater detail,
imagining working in the office, looking out the window, and
writing his next best seller.

How can you use a Visualization Step to help persuade your
next audience?

CALL-TO-ACTION – TELL THE BUYER WHAT TO DO

In addition to a Visualization Step, you also need a Call-
to-action in your persuasive speech. This is the easiest,
yet most forgotten part of a persuasion speech.

A Call-to-action is simply telling the potential buyer
exactly what you expect him to do once you finish your
pitch. It should be a simple, unambiguous statement which
causes the buyer to act.

For example, referring back to the sales pitch on blood
donation, a Call-to-action could sound something like:

“Go to your nearest blood bank and donate blood today.”

Referring to the SuperPrint product speech, the Call-to-
action could be:

“Call the phone number today to order your SuperPrint
product and start saving money and time!”

Referring to the house sale:

“Let’s put in an offer now.”

Each of these elements are effective by themselves but work
much more effectively when used together. So many
salespeople use only one of these two elements and miss
opportunities to sell their product or service simply
because the didn’t get the potential client to imagine
themselves using the item or didn’t ask for the sale.

Get your potential buyer to visualize what their life would
be like if they did (or did not) do what you want them to
do, then hit them with the Call-to-action. If you use them
effectively and together, your close ratio should increase
as well as your commission check!
