• Developing referral partner relationships is the key to a recession proof Mortgage Business• By creating these relationships with realtor partners we have a steady

revenue stream of purchase loans• Most of the “marketing” you do is centered on this idea

1. Videos 2. Email campaigns 3. Training classes 4. Calls 5. Cards

• The idea is: Provide something of value first and ask for something in return later.• This works when the agent see’s enough value (consistency)• This practice has been the Blue Print for a long time now

• Most Loan Professionals know this strategy• Most fail for 1 reason

They forget to create a REAL relationship!!!

Page 5: Belly to Belly Create Relationships to Create Referrals.

• The most expensive systems are Lures• Lures are attractants • They do exactly as they are intended to do

“Attract your targets”• Most loan professionals fall into the trap

Buy the cool system, give it to the agents and because you gave it to them, they will automatically send you leads and referrals. Waiting by the phone for it to ring.

• Not to be the bearer of bad news but……….. They are never going to call!!

• This does NOT mean that using these systems are wasting your time or money• It means you MUST change you mind set of what they are intended for

• Hi Freddie McRealty, this is Paul Baxter with Leader1 Financial. I am following up with you on *insert your value item here*. One of the things I do for my realtor friends is a free Realtor Needs Assessment. This is an in depth look at your real estate business as a whole. It can help you discover where you can improve on your business as well as focus more of your efforts. • I would love to treat you to a cup of coffee and help you discover all

your business can be.

• Social Media can play a big role in this• Being engaging helps develop the relationship part• Use the daily 10’s to make sure you are staying engaged• Be willing to like and share the things your partners (friends) care

about

• Because relationship is the key element to referral partners Make sure you are targeting the right agents. • Choose who you want to work with because you are a good fit• Trying to partner with someone you don’t care for or fit with will

never be a real referral partner relationship

• Become involved in the Real Estate Community in your area• Become a sponsor lender for the local real estate board• Be present at events and gatherings• Offer to provide coffee or lunch or snacks for the meetings• The more you hang around the groups who centrally focused on the

real estate business, the more a part of it you become

• Shake people you meets hands• Smile and say hello• Get to know people, let them get to know you• Have normal conversations with those you meet • Identify the true targets (it will be clear who the movers and shakers

are)• Invite them to share a meal and become a friend

• Use online sources to see who are the active real estate agents in your area• Homes.com – shows local pro’s, number of listing the pro has then

link to personal website• Realtor.com – same as above, may also include phone number on

profile• RealTrends.com – shows the cream of the crop. You can sort by area,

volume, units. Rarely has contact info or link, requires Google research once you identify your target

• The moral of the story A recession proof Mortgage Business through referral partner marketing is not about the fancy system or well produced video. It is about whether or not you can become a friend. That’s when you have a true partner.
