DISQUS

Nice upgrades to your blog by the way, I'm in the midst of one myself., Thought I'd be done last night. Wasn't.

Absolutly beautiful. What should I do RIGHT NOW to drive my business.

you're getting so tantalizingly close to perfect.

I bought the damn thesis theme too! You $%^&*ing $^&#@!! I mean that in the best possible way!

agreed on most points (but let's also say that loan officers doesn't need an apostrophe). What LOs should also consider is quitting.

if you're bitching, close the store down.

I agree with Tom Vanderwell. Snowing lenders does not epitomize where we want to be as leaders in the industry. Getting rid of 'accurate' information is pretty shady--at best.

But there is zero benefit to being involved with this. ZERO. It puts me in a categoryo f losers. If I discovered identity theft, I referr them to the deaprtment of commerce and my contact tat the FBI. Their paperwork is meaningful.

1.) A credit repair at most should be a soft letdown. Send \'em away, forget they exist. Unfortuately, we\'re responsible for the actions of the vendor so they\'ll kepe calling.

2.) Originators should still be brokers, that opinion is subject to change.

3.)identity theft is the only one that I\'d work with. THe rest--regardless of reason--is a danger and a waste, period. 8 out of 10 people that are \'vicitms,\' aren\'t.

Amen, very cool, and kick ass.

"nobody's gonna try and getcha to sign up for their exclusive marketing system." Now, keep that promise and you'll win.

I think it's wierd that somehow our world expects others to not want to make a living.

and if my job is to bait web masters, does that make me a web master baiter?

Chris-

Appreciate what you're trying to do. Have a post coming as to why it's a mistake to work these folks.

More to come.

Kill the effing flash.

I never said it didn't serve as client aquisition. There are some semantic here, but it's neither prospecting nor is it even LIKE prospecting. don't think it's efficient, but it's rejection free

@Todd very cool. I am excited to see your presentation.

@gina ordered.

This is a classic BM. And what to do about it? Drive your 1998 honda another 3 years. STOP worrying about the approbabtion of 30k millionaires.

It's fun. And it's thrilling. AND I'm seriously wondering how Jeremiah found your site. Anyway, time to rock.

Fabulous post. There are people that are within 3 doors of each other in the same company having vastly different experiences. It's attitude, effort, and belief.

The absolute beauty of this business is that--at most--you're 45 days away from a massive check. And--no matter what, you're 100 days away from a radically better life. That's the promise, and why, even now, it's still the best business to be in.

This should get the black pearl. Or something. Because it's ignored basic info.

just makes yo shudder to think what woulda happened if they hadn't sold FF to ML.

It's hard to differentiate quality from of brand; a lot of times the name brand stuff has better quality. A lot of times, it's not (say, with Corn Flakes).

Y'know...I'm sorta doubting that this will happen.

Act your wage indeed. I think that part of it is hopelessness, people don't figure that they can ever get the house caught up, but they want to sustain their credit cards. Who knows.

I know someone with an 1900/month house payment. That house was foreclosed. They attended the sherrif's sale, and offered to stay as tenants...for $1200/month.

They got their wish.

Wonderful observation. RE: less desirable lenders.

THat's why I like you.

Google Notebook...has an awesome similar feature. highlight, save, preserve link.

but I'll check it out, thanks.

Well, thanks for the kind words, and I will semi respectfully disagree with the CE idea.

Having a nationwide authority will make consumers presume that the government is protecting them when in fact it's not a legal thing for the government to engage in. FNMA and FCLMC and the S&L bailout were the parents of the subprime mess that we find ourselves in now.

Good post. I think transparency in how we price things isn't necessary, as good communication is.

I talk a LOT about transparency, and I do it for selfish reasons: mostly to be held accountable for my actions by claiming to be a certain way. For me, it's a control . If i say I'm a certain way, being transaprent helps me to stay that way.

I knew someone that came in my watering hole for her Ruinite all of the time. She wasn't a drunk, but she loved that cheap red stuff. I used to scoff at her, but then I realized....she's getting more pleasure than I am out of less expensive wine...and therefore I'm the wrong one.
