Everyday, PLS applies the concept of the Pyramid of a Complete Loan Officer-a concept that has already helped thousands of LoanToolBox members succeed in achieving their business goals.
With almost 5 years of experience in the mortgage industry including, Andrew has re-dedicated himself as a full-time mortgage broker and originator after a 2-year experience with First Franklin as a wholesale subprime Account Executive.
Andrew's first 3 years as a broker were financially successful due to very hard work, long hours, an eagerness to learn and tenacity on a deal-by-deal basis. However, this success was not personally fulfilling - he did not know how to grow the business systematically and work smarter, not harder. For example, clients were not always "clients for life", marketing was inconsistent and there was a lack of referral partners.
Recognizing the mistakes of the past and being aware that referrals should be the foundation of building a mortgage business, Andrew avoids "cold-calling" and grows the business through networking, individual training and teambuilding. By applying proven systems, PLS has obtained and solidified a growing referral network.
In order to grow the business, PLS gets more referrals; closes more loans; automates marketing; finds referral partners; builds a winning team; attracts, trains and retains top talent; and creates a roadmap to success.
