BUSINESS TIP: Feel Good Friday Emails. At Core7  we teach our professionals to send emails to their clients and business partners to let them know how much you appreciate them. Every Friday an email reminder is sent to remind our members to do that. Here’s what it looks like to a past client for example:

Dear Friend,

I just wanted to reach out and say hello. I want to let you know how much I appreciate our business relationship. I am very fortunate to have you as a client.

Thank you,

Simple…but effective!

TOP 5- NOT FINANCIAL: Who are your top 5 Rock bands? Here’s mine…..

  2. The Rolling Stones
  3. The Who
  4. The Beatles
  5. Aerosmith

SCRIPTING: Here is a great script that has been effective for me to set the table to be able to refer comfortably at my consultation with a client:

LOAN CONSULTANT: “Mr Smith, can i have your permission to give you a quick agenda of how the call will go?”

CLIENT: “Sure.”

LOAN CONSULTANT: “First i want to find out what is important to you about the home loan, and assess how real estate fits into your overall financial plan. Then I may make some introductions to some experts in other fields like Financial Advisors if that makes sense. There’s no obligation, and you do not have to speak with them if you don’t want to, but I may make the recommendation. Is that ok and does that make sense?”

CLIENT: “Sure.” (What kind of client would say no? Seriously….)

Then I go on with a few other items that we’ll discuss. The point is that many professionals are afraid to make referrals to their business partners, because they are worried the client will not like it. EVEN IF IT’S ADDED VALUE!!!!

This scripting gets permission and makes it easy.

Many Financial Advisors have said that they are disappointed that they don’t receive more referrals from their Mortgage Originator partner. Most have given up on even trying, and just settle for good service and getting loans closed for clients.

It doesn’t have to be that way………….. The Core7 Referral System has a proven methodology that makes it easy for a Mortgage Originator to generate a ton of outgoing referrals to financial advisers. Here are some of the tactics that allow the Mortgage Originator to do this:

1) Set the stage and convey a different approach. Use the Core7 Agenda Method:

Let the client know you take a different approach to make sure you integrate real estate into their overall financial plan. Then ask permission to go over a quick “Agenda” of how this call or meeting will go.

When they say “OK.” Tell them you first want to find out what most important to them about this mortgage, and you may make some introductions to other experts on your team to make sure they get the best service. Let them know there is no obligation and they don’t have to accept your introduction, but is typically time well spent.

Then ask “Is that OK?” Now you have permission to make referrals without the client feeling uncomfortable. Many professionals are reluctant to make suggestions. Now there’s n0 excuse. (You then continue with next steps based on your own “Agenda”.

2) The Cash Flow Cross Sell at The Loan Consultation:

All Mortgage Originators use debt to income ratios to calculate the loan amount for Pre Approval. These numbers do not include lifestyle expenses for entertainment, hobbies like travel and leisure, and other expenses not included on the credit report etc. This is a great time to introduce a Financial Advisor to analyze cash flow and discuss some of the basic tax planning.

Here’s how I introduce it.

“Mr. Smith when I issue a pre approval, I use debt to income ratios based on debt from your credit report and the mortgage payment. This does not include many of your lifestyle expenses like hobbies, vacation, and entertainment. I think it would be great to review this with a Financial Advisor to make sure we make smart decisions. How is your relationship with your Financial Advisor who specializes in cash flow and tax planning?”

3)The Closing Cross Sell:

The closing can trigger many financial ramifications. The client has created an estate, and it’s important to protect it. A Financial Advisor Introduction at this point is necessary.

By introducing the Financial Advisor at these 2 points, whether they have said yes or no to the introduction, you have accomplished 2 things:

  • You planted a seed that they do need a Financial Advisor
  • That you are the resource to make the introduction.

4)The 1 to 3 Month Cross Sell: This is really simple just follow up and say:

“Hi (Borrower), 
It has been a while since we have last spoke, I hope you are doing well. 
My goal is to always be a valuable resource for you. I was reviewing your Mortgage Planning Analysis and I noticed you don’t have a financial advisor. I think it is so important to have one, and it’s critical to your financial well being. 
I’d like to make the introduction to the advisor on my team, I think it would make a lot of sense. Would you mind if I made the introduction? 
Again, there is no obligation, but I feel it would be time well spent.”

5)The Annual Mortgage Review:

Core 7 Mortgage Originators ask this integrated question in every review. It’s the question that helped me generate 70 Referrals to my Core7 Financial Advisor in 18 months!

“What are your 2 to 10 year financial goals?”

This can bring out so many future needs, and most important it creates the opportunity to ask The Referral Generator.

“How is your relationship with your financial advisor, who specializes in (WHAT THAT NEED IS?)”

GO GENERATE REFERRALS, ADD VALUE TO YOUR PARTNERS, & MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF YOUR CLIENTS!
