WHAT I LEARNED
Darryl reminded me of the importance of asking questions. I recently created a list of questions I ask for each stage of the process. If a new client calls. I have a series of questions I make sure I ask while on the phone. If it is the first meeting, I have a different list of questions and topics to cover. I have started to create a process for each stage. I even have a 100 day follow up plan for after a loan closes. Having a list of questions to ask and a process to follow has been invaluable for me and has really helped me become a more consistent Broker.
