Transcript
- 0:00Hey Jeff Center here host of the mortgage marketing radio podcast. Thanks for tuning in.
- 0:10This is the place where you as a mortgage professional gets access to the ideas, tools,
- 0:15and resources to help you grow your business with less effort, less struggle, less frustration
- 0:23and become the preeminent mortgage professional in your local market. Today's episode we're
- 0:29going to talk exactly how you can do that. And most importantly, I want to invite you to a free
- 0:35informational webinar that I'm hosting with my special guest today, whom you're going to hear
- 0:40from him in a moment. But before we switch into that, I want to talk to you briefly about
- 0:46a concept, a concept called the upstream model. And my special guest today, Justin Stoddard,
- 0:53wrote the book called the upstream model, which is hidden secrets to build a massive referral
- 0:57business while crushing big tech competitors. Look, let's just face it, the markets influx,
- 1:02the markets always changing, right? And it's not the strongest to survive. It's the most
- 1:06adaptable to change who survive. And I don't often bring, right, platforms and resources and
- 1:14ideas or people to you outside of the norm, unless I'm a firm believer in who they are,
- 1:21first as a person, right? And then secondly, with what they're doing, does it actually move the
- 1:26needle or is it just white noise? Is it signal versus noise? Well, today's conversation with
- 1:31Justin is signal. We're going to talk about the upstream model and we're going to talk about how
- 1:36most originators unfortunately stay stuck if you if you picture a ladder, right? And on the bottom
- 1:42run of that ladder is a solicitor looked upon as someone there to just get something for themselves
- 1:47and then move up from solicitor to vendor, right? Where it's a little bit better than solicitor,
- 1:52but actually it's just a sales relationship. It's based on products, price and those types of
- 1:56things, right? And that's where most originators tend to hang out and lead with as their
- 2:00quote competitive advantage. I got great products. I got great service. I close on time, right?
- 2:05Whatever that thing is. But unfortunately, staying in the category of a vendor doesn't build a true
- 2:14business that thrives, right? It's one that's based on how good but your last loan. Can I get a
- 2:20witness? Is any of this send familiar? What have you done for me lately? My passion and purpose for
- 2:26being here is to help you move from vendor to peer, right? Where you look at with respect as an
- 2:32equal. And then ultimately, as we continue to move upstream, right? You become a peer and a
- 2:38partner and ultimately the pinnacle is you become a mentor and a leader where you're recognized and
- 2:43looked up to as an expert and advisor or consultant, right? Someone who can help solve your partner's
- 2:48biggest challenges. And today, your invitation is to join us to learn more about how my guest,
- 2:55Justin Stoddard and myself have teamed up to bring to the mortgage industry a solution to help
- 3:01you move upstream. If you picture a stream, right? At the top is this stream of clients that comes
- 3:06out and an upstream partner would be somebody like a real estate agent. It would be a tax advisor,
- 3:13it would be a CPA, it would be a wealth estate planner, people like that, right?
- 3:18neighboring industries, right? Whose current clients are your future clients?
- 3:24But when you're stuck in the bucket or on the ring of vendor, right? Picture you standing
- 3:28downstream and you're holding your fishing pole out, trying to catch those random fish that
- 3:38are originating upstream. Well, what if you could actually reverse that? What if you could actually
- 3:43change, pick up your pole, leave downstream and hike yourself up, take a walk upstream to be at the
- 3:50same level of what I call your upstream partner, right? You being a true peer and mentor and leader,
- 3:57helping those partners upstream partner solve problems and challenges. And what drives those
- 4:04upstream partner opportunities? Typically life events, right? Divorce, death, moving, relocation,
- 4:12birth, college, right? Downsizing, upsizing, right? You name it. And look at the secret is,
- 4:19you guys have heard about this for a while, right? This idea of building your family, wealth,
- 4:24advisory team. You've heard of other originators on the podcast, talk about it over the years.
- 4:29Well, now you get to learn exactly how to do it in the system. I don't know if this is for you,
- 4:35but check out this free call that we're going to be doing coming up. I'm going to give you the date
- 4:39time and the link is going to be in the show notes. But Justin and I are doing a free call on
- 4:47Thursday, June 22nd at 10 a.m. Pacific time. It'll be about 30 minutes. That's it. And what we're
- 4:53going to be doing is walking through this concept of, right? Becoming an upstream partner. But
- 4:58more importantly, how you can exclusively in your own area, right? Be the exclusive partner.
- 5:08For these other team members of your wealth advisory team. So we're talking about
- 5:14real estate agent. Of course, we're talking about financial advisor, tax planner,
- 5:19attorneys, CPAs, all the people that are involved in life events and you getting to the top of
- 5:28that stream and winning those opportunities by you partnering with these other professionals.
- 5:34And most importantly, how do you do it? And you don't do it by showing up and, you know,
- 5:38listen, we've all done the B&I. We've done the whole referral network thing. We're not talking
- 5:42about that. This is a completely unique and brand new way for you to attract and engage these

- 5:53pre-eminent professionals in your local market. So once again, the link is in the show notes.

- 6:23events that are firing these trigger leads that are allowing these big box companies to get to
- 6:29that client before you do. Well, look at you can get to that client by buying trigger leads
- 6:36and being a coal call or you can get to that client with life events by partnering with other

- 7:10What's up, Jeff? Good to be here, my friend.
- 7:12Good to be here as well. And I'm very excited to talk about this topic. We're talking about here
- 7:16today, which I know many of my listeners in the audience are going to respond very favorably to
- 7:22because it's what I've been talking about for years, which is building a pace of referrals
- 7:28and relationships and leading with value. But before we get into that, who is Justin Stoddert?
- 7:34What do you about? What do you do?
- 7:35I love a man. Well, first and foremost, I'm a family man. I was reminded of that this past weekend,
- 7:40one of his mother's day, and my six kiddos, and I got to treat my wife like the queen. She
- 7:45deserves to be treated. We should be doing it all year, but we're reminded this year to do it a
- 7:49little more, a little more intentionally. So yeah, family man at heart. And also am the author of
- 7:57a book called The Upstream Model, which I know we're going to talk a little bit about today.
- 8:01I'm also the host of a podcast called Think Bigger Real Estate, and it's been a passion
- 8:07mind for the past five years. And also in the CEO of a company called Pro Insight, which I know
- 8:12we're going to be talking about as well. Yeah, fantastic. Yeah, we're going to talk about a lot of this.
- 8:17And my challenge today, quite honestly, is how do I pack all this in in the limited time that we have?
- 8:22Because there's just so many nuggets and lessons in here. So I want to, let's start with this.
- 8:27You mentioned your book, The Upstream Model. We'll put a link in the show notes to the book
- 8:30for folks who want to get it. I have it right here in my hands. And it's all, if you're watching
- 8:35the video, you can see it's here tabbed. If you're not watching these lessons in here are totally
- 8:40appropriate for where you're at right now in your business, I'm sure. Okay. So, but it's this
- 8:44concept. And you have, by the way, a pretty in-depth personal understanding of the real estate
- 8:52business. And by that, I mean, specifically the context of the dynamic of relationship between
- 8:59mortgage, realtor, including title, and that whole affiliate kind of like,
- 9:04smooth chain, if you will. So, and you feel free to share some comments about that. But you've
- 9:10got this book, The Upstream Model, Hidden Secrets to Building a Massive Referral Business,
- 9:14while crushing big tech competitors. What's the premise of this whole upstream model idea?
- 9:19Yeah, it really stems back to an experience I had in my mid-20s. I was working for a high-end
- 9:24home builder. And I realized it was time for me to step out on my own. And I just assumed it
- 9:29would be as easy to go get new clients as he had made it appear. Now, maybe the, you know, the
- 9:33agents and loan officers that are that are listening to this can relate to that where it's like,
- 9:36oh, yeah, I saw what it took to like do loans. I'm like, I got this. I'm figuring out I'm
- 9:41to step out on my own. And all of a sudden, it's like, oh, crap. There's a whole other business
- 9:44here. It's not just servicing the client loan. It's actually, I should have to go get the business.
- 9:48I actually have to attract clients into my funnel on a regular basis. And we maybe at times
- 9:53discounted the amount of effort that it took to do that. Well, that was me as a high-end home builder.
- 9:56I knew that I had a better client experience than my competitors, even a better finished
- 10:01product than most all of them as well. But the challenge was how do I convince millionaires
- 10:06to impart two million dollars to me to have them have me build them their dream home?
- 10:11Right? And I realized like, okay, this is going to be, this is going to be a bit of a challenge
- 10:15that I had underestimated. And I was having some success, but I wanted more. And I realized that
- 10:22I could market to the general populace of those of that client avatar and have some success.
- 10:28But ultimately, a much better approach would be to go upstream. So if you can imagine
- 10:37a stream and everybody has their fishing poles in the water at the same spot, it's highly competitive.
- 10:43People are competing on, you know, which bait do you have and how fast, like how good of a,
- 10:49is your skill at that level? And that's the common industries, the service-based industries in which
- 10:55we're talking about right now. Lending, right? It's how fast can do it. What's your rate?
- 10:58Right? With real estate agents, how fast can you get here to open up a door? You know, how low will
- 11:03you go? And it's a very commoditized kind of very bloody ocean. And what I realized is I didn't want
- 11:09to compete like that. Like I knew I could, but it was going to be for tight margins. It was going to
- 11:15be on call all the time. It's like, I just don't want to compete like that. And so I figured
- 11:19that if I could get upstream and get to the client before anybody else knew that they were a
- 11:23potential client, I would have a better chance at winning that client, taking them out of the stream
- 11:29before my competition knew that they were there. And so I realized the best way to do that would be
- 11:33to identify other professionals whose current clients would be my future clients.
- 11:41So as a home builder, that was an architectural designer. All of their current clients had the
- 11:45potential to be my future clients. And so rather than marketing to the masses, playing the commodity
- 11:51game that I could add big value to that one entity, that one professional, their business,
- 12:01and they could start to introduce me to their clients before their clients start actually
- 12:06shopping for other builders. So that worked very well for me as a home builder. And then I began to
- 12:12teach it to real estate agents, and then I began to teach it to lenders. And I realized that the
- 12:17principles held true amongst all service-based businesses, is that you can compete on price and
- 12:22timing and over time on relationship and quality, but in over time, it takes time to establish
- 12:29that relationship or you can just get upstream and go create valuable partnerships
- 12:36with other professionals again whose current clients are your future clients. Add big value to
- 12:40that one person, and they'll open up the door to lots of ideal avatar clients.
- 12:48Okay, that's good. Some questions, of course, come out of that. How do I get there? How do I get
- 12:55upstream? How do I get engagement with those people? Yeah, great questions. There has to be
- 13:02a fundamental shift, I think, to start with, is that rather than thinking as a B to C entity,
- 13:09which is I'm going to market to the consumers. And we've been trained to think about that more and
- 13:12more, I think, with the advent of the internet. It's like, I can get consumers dropped into my
- 13:17inbox all day long, and then we're chasing them. And or even with our sphere, even if you're
- 13:23more referral-based, it's like we have this big database of 300 people, and I'm not saying that's
- 13:28bad, right? That's the foundation of any good businesses to have a good database people who
- 13:32you're loving on, but you realize that that big database can only produce a small number,
- 13:37call it 10% in referrals or deals each year. So it's like, well, if I want more, I guess I have
- 13:43to do, I have to add 10 times the amount of people that I'm loving on to get the amount that
- 13:51I actually want. And so you realize that that's there's a challenge in that, and oftentimes in
- 13:57that challenge, people adopt this mentality of it's just a numbers game. It's just a number game.
- 14:03I'm just going to go through the numbers, but the problem is when we're sorting through the numbers,
- 14:07we're actually giving up margin, and we're giving up lifestyle. Is it either we're doing it,
- 14:13or we're hiring someone else to do it to sort through the numbers, and that process is where we
- 14:18actually lose the main reason why we get into this business, which is to produce a higher dollar per
- 14:23hour, be able to take more home and work on our own terms. All of a sudden, because of the model
- 14:29that we've subscribed to, we're losing that opportunity. And so the shift is to go away from being
- 14:36a B2C marketer and become a B2B marketer. In other words, instead of going to the consumer,
- 14:43go to a business owner who already has all the clients. They've already done the decade worth
- 14:48of effort and work to get a client to trust them. And if you choose the right partner,
- 14:53there'll be somebody who is the right avatar for you, like you guys share a common client,
- 14:59you share a common customer. And if you choose that partner right, and you lead with real
- 15:05contribution, right, that's something that's almost cliched these days, a lead of contribution,
- 15:09but like, which often means that people is like, here's a stack of my cards, here's brochures,
- 15:14I'm never too busy for your referrals. That's not leading with contribution. You know it,
- 15:18and they know it, right? I'm not saying it's bad, but it's just not effective. It's not effective
- 15:22in a B2B setting. It might be with your clients and friends and family, but that model was not
- 15:27designed to be in a B2B setting. So if you're going to go B2B, you've got to choose a new model that's
- 15:31actually a B2B model, which the upstream model is that. It's designed to say rather than stepping
- 15:37in as a lender, right, to a partner's, to a potential upstream partner's business,
- 15:44you're stepping in as almost a business consultant. You're there to solve problems that they have.
- 15:52And by the way, getting referrals from them is not a problem that they have. Your job is to really
- 15:57identify what is a bottleneck in their business. And you find out the bottleneck by first asking,
- 16:03where is it that you're headed? Like tell me what you're excited about. Tell me what are you
- 16:05building right now? Like what's a big goal? Great. Tell me what's your plan to get there, right?
- 16:11Like how are you new to it? And the last thing is like tell me a bottleneck that would keep you
- 16:15from doing that. Well, you identify that and value to that. Now the sudden you're seeing different,
- 16:19right? You receive differently. And that's what a B2B model looks like is you step into actually add
- 16:23value to their business before you start asking for their business. Yeah. So we're going to come back
- 16:28to this concept of how do we actually, well, we're going to talk about the family office concept
- 16:32during this conversation, of course. But speaking of how do you become a good partner with somebody,
- 16:38I love this in the book. Let's walk through these concepts of briefly, if you don't mind,
- 16:42stop being a solicitor and a vendor. And you have this kind of progression, you know,
- 16:48from the bottom of the pyramid, if you will, to the top, right? From solicitor vendor peer mentor
- 16:53and leader, can you briefly walk us through the differences at each of those stages? Yeah.
- 16:58I think we all know what it feels like to be a solicitor, right? And it probably we even know
- 17:03even more certainly what it feels like to be solicited that we realize that somebody's there to
- 17:08get something from us, even if it's just our time. And we don't really see an equal value exchange.
- 17:13And so our attempt is how do I without without being rude? How do I dismiss this person so I can
- 17:20get back to what's important to me? That's that's that's how solicitors are treated. And oftentimes,
- 17:26we don't we again, we go back to this concept. Well, it's just the numbers 98 people are going to
- 17:30say, no, I'm going to the next. And it's like, yeah, but the wake of of bad reputation and and
- 17:36and inconvenience you provided for 98 people may not be the reputation you want to have. Maybe there's
- 17:41a better way and the fact that you spit 98 conversations that were productive like I get it works.
- 17:46There's no doubt the numbers work. But is there a better way, right? We have to ask ourselves,
- 17:50is there a better way to not have to like blow through 98 people to find the two? And so
- 17:55the first concept is is that is we have to like come to grips with the fact that maybe there's
- 18:00a better way to go about this. Now, you have to ask your question again, because I got on a
- 18:04on a tangent. Absolutely. No, I get it. It's no problem because there's so like I said,
- 18:09there's so much in here. So these are the foundationable principles of becoming a good partner.
- 18:13Like, you know, the question is how referable are you or you talked about solving problems. So
- 18:19you've got this this graph in your books, solicitor vendor peer mentor leader. And I think maybe
- 18:24I'll help solidify it this way with the question. How would for those listening, how would you
- 18:31consider yourself a solicitor, a vendor here? Right? You want to unpack that a little bit?
- 18:38Yeah, yeah. So, so I talked about kind of that bottom spectrum, right? Which is solicitor.
- 18:42The next one up is to be a vendor. Typically, a vendor isn't seen with a like you don't see
- 18:48signs on people's house that say like no vendors allowed. They see no solicitation. So we know
- 18:56that like a vendor is a step up from a solicitor, but a vendor is simply somebody who is known to do
- 19:02a certain job. And if we're going to really move to this B2B model and really unpack the value
- 19:08of having somebody else open doors all day long to our ideal avatar, ideal client, we can't just
- 19:14be a vendor because a vendor can be replaced. It's just somebody who's known for doing the job
- 19:19that they're supposed to do inside their silo. And I think that nothing erupted with the key point
- 19:23that you mentioned here is not seen as an equal. Yeah, yeah, you still look down upon, right?
- 19:29Not in a in a moral way or like a not an ethical way, but it's just like a place I get this this
- 19:35widget alone, whatever, right? Yeah, I keep her beyond that, but there's another level.
- 19:41Yeah, the next level up from that is peer, right? Where they see you as an equal. Now, I want all
- 19:45the lenders listening to this. Sometimes you'll feel when you approach a real estate agent, right?
- 19:50That you're a vendor, right? They're not being mean to you. They're not treating you like a solicitor.
- 19:55They're trying to dismiss you, but they just see you as one of many, right? When you can step up to
- 20:00the level of being a peer, they no longer see you as just a vendor. They see you as a fellow business
- 20:05owner who they can learn from that you're an equal, that you realize that there's value to be
- 20:12exchanged both ways, not that just you're good at what you do. And so therefore you should give them
- 20:18something, right? Kind of this like beggar like, oh, great. Hey, I'm, you know, I'm the best of my
- 20:24class. They see you as an equal. And when that happens, something, something shifts in their brain
- 20:30to where they realize that, hey, I think I need you as much as you need me. So they treat you
- 20:35differently. They give you more time. They give you more space. They give you, they open up more
- 20:40to what is really plaguing them. As I was describing before, the process of really identifying a
- 20:44bottleneck in people's world, which is the key, by the way, to starting to, to take the next step.
- 20:51But they aren't going to do that if they don't see you as an equal. They're going to talk about
- 20:54what you do for a living period. What you want to do is elevate the conversation to the next level,
- 20:59which is what's really happening in their world. Mentoring leader. Right. That's the final step,
- 21:05right? At this one, they realize that they need you more than you need them. And this is not an
- 21:12ego thing. So please don't take it that way. It's just the fact that like, they start to realize that,
- 21:17okay, I'm right here and I want to be up here in my business. And I feel like I can get there
- 21:21faster with you involved, right? And they feel this, this sense of wanting to, to reciprocate and
- 21:29add value to you so that the value that you bring to the marketplace can, can infiltrate their
- 21:35business. And it's this phrase sometimes helps people to understand this, which is, is if you want
- 21:41somebody's business, become a part of their business, right? When you realize, when they realize,
- 21:48and you help them to realize that they can get to another level faster, all of a sudden,
- 21:53they're thinking of ways that they can, they can reciprocate, including giving you their business,
- 21:58right? They're going to start sending you business so that you can continue to contribute to them
- 22:02in ways that get them to where they want to go faster. I love that. Thank you for walking us through
- 22:07that. I think one of the areas that people get stuck sometimes is solving that equation. Or,
- 22:14you know, they're, they're so caught up in the framework of I am a loan officer realtor whatever
- 22:19fill in the blank, right? That they don't think outside of that frame of like solving problems.
- 22:25And you have this question. I love I highlighted this. It's what problem can I solve for this
- 22:30agent, right? Or loan officer that they have not already solved? Yeah. I wrote like that's a,
- 22:38that's a stopper right there like pause for a minute. Because the issue I'm addressing for most
- 22:43of the loan officers, I know that I interface with over the across the country is we're always
- 22:48coming in hot and heavy with our bag of loan related, right? Solutions. Yeah. And you make a great
- 22:56point is that when you do that, right? You're just adding to the problem they already have, which is
- 23:05too much noise vendor not solving any, I don't have a problem of getting loans done.
- 23:11Yeah. I thought that was beautiful, man. Thanks. I love hearing you say, I think you say it better
- 23:18than I do. And that's, that's all of a sudden it gets easy for people to want to be in business
- 23:26with you when you start to solve their problems, right? I mean, I think about it like this because I
- 23:30go kind of like, you know, I get very specific with these things because my audience is always in
- 23:34my head and I'm thinking, how about you, if you're a loan officer listening to this and you're
- 23:38approaching a realtor and you had that coffee or meeting or whatever and you're like, hey,
- 23:41first of all, I just want to make it clear just in that before we get into like knowing each other
- 23:44whatever, I'm not here to try and right tell you I'm going to solve all your problems related
- 23:49to mortgages because you already have a loan officer, right? That you work with. Yeah, I do. Great.
- 23:54I'm not trying. You know what I mean? You go down that hole. I'm not here to try and solve a problem
- 23:58that doesn't need solving. Yeah. So what do we do then? How do we, right? Move from vendor to peer.
- 24:06What are the questions, conversations? How do we uncover that? Yeah. Well, I think it's to give
- 24:11them the assurance just like you described. Like, I'm not here to solve problems that they don't
- 24:17need if it ain't broke. Yeah. Like that would that would not be good for you nor would it be a
- 24:22good use of my time. I do want you to know however though that I am confident that the value of
- 24:28the value you're getting from whoever your existing providers are. I'm confident that we can at
- 24:34least match if not beat that. But I'm not here to talk about me today. I'm really not. But I do
- 24:38want you to get like to give you the insurance. It's the assurance that this is a good use of time
- 24:43because the level of experience you're used to like I'm confident we can do that. But what I am here
- 24:49to talk about today is you and your business and where you're headed with it. Now keep in mind
- 24:56the people like to talk about themselves. I have to talk about the future of where they're headed.
- 25:00If they're not they might not be a good candidate for you right because they haven't really
- 25:03really have a vision where they're going to kind of floundering right. So actually and part of
- 25:07this whole process is you're not going in just saying if anybody has a pulse or a deal to give
- 25:12I'm going to give it. You need to take on the posture the fact that I'm actually interviewing
- 25:17that I have limited resources to give and I'm going to give them to those that are the best
- 25:22investment like the that provide the best ROI. So part of this isn't just it's not posturing
- 25:28even though I said posture it's not posturing you're not you're not there to just get business
- 25:33for anybody. You're really evaluating and interviewing them to see do they have a goal? Do they
- 25:38have a plan? Do they have challenges that I can solve because if if none of those add up if
- 25:43they don't have a vision of a goal then that can have any more business to give. If they don't
- 25:48actually have a plan well maybe you could help them with that but you at least want to know that
- 25:53thought a little bit about that or otherwise the goal is a little delusional and then lastly you
- 25:58want to know what problems they have because if you can't solve problems this is going to be
- 26:02shortly of anyway like if the problems that they have are completely things that you don't want to
- 26:07solve then let's not waste our time right. So part of this is you're really interviewing to see
- 26:11if this is the right candidate you know into whom and not from again not from an ego standpoint
- 26:16but just to save everybody the time and the hassle standpoint but that that is the conversation
- 26:21you have those three points are critical for you stepping out of the role of being a lender for
- 26:26just a minute leave your lender hat in the car and you're a business consultant now your job is
- 26:31to find out where are they headed. Number two what's the plan to get there and number three what
- 26:39bottlenecks do you foresee could keep you from getting there. Now again not everybody's going to have
- 26:46roll off the tip of their tongue but if they say you know I need some clarity on where I'm headed
- 26:53that doesn't mean that it's it's like this person's a loser they're not going anywhere that I have a
- 26:57goal but you should at least make mental note of like can I help them develop that like are you
- 27:02open to gaining some clarity around what you actually want to build there's very talented people
- 27:06out there that are now ready to build something else so again it should not be a showstopper
- 27:11or like game over if they don't have it but you should make mental note if they don't have a goal
- 27:15that's something I can help them with right we're going to talk about that okay the the second
- 27:20question again is tell me your plan if you had this like list out what's the fastest and best
- 27:25most assured way for you to get to where you want to go what does that look like so if you're a lender
- 27:30if you're in a real estate agent is it is your business primarily by referral do you have other
- 27:35lead sources like you say you want to get to a hundred deals a year how many do you have right now
- 27:40and and what's the gap and what's your plan to close that gap what does it look like like
- 27:44be a business consultant right your job is to really identify where you can fit into that picture
- 27:51and again that's the whole premise here as I'm trying to find out how I can become a part of
- 27:54their business so that given me their business becomes such a natural extension of them wanting
- 28:01to contribute back yeah I think might take away from this is if we're talking about mortgage
- 28:07originators listening to this and in in in in converse conversations with agents or other
- 28:11referral partners is they need to get better at discovery right asking those questions
- 28:17and and just as you said a moment ago kind of just putting putting your sales bag down like
- 28:21you know stop with the pitch man that's so refreshing when people they're waiting for the pitch
- 28:27and when it doesn't come that's one way by the way to start moving upstream from vendor because
- 28:32you're not pitching to peer like you can see that the shift and the dynamic in the conversation
- 28:39people's shoulders relax they breathe a little bit easier they're like oh you know they're not
- 28:43gonna tell me all about their great products and services and how they close on they're actually
- 28:47actually asking me questions yeah that's pretty engaging and you're right it does something to
- 28:54the the whole goal of of this this meeting should be twofold number one is to cause them to see you
- 29:00as as a minimum up here if not a mentor leader right that's one is to trigger somebody that's like
- 29:07this person's different I knew when I was working as an executive for a title company
- 29:13then I was I was calling to have conversations with with with higher agents I knew I was doing
- 29:19something right when they said to me you know what I've never had a conversation like this
- 29:25with someone in title and escrow yeah right like that was really like okay I'm I'm doing it right
- 29:31right but when they're like well what makes you different than our existing company it's like
- 29:36I screwed up here because they can't see it they can't feel it right I'm just another
- 29:41guy in here trying to pedal title and escrow right and they already have a title and escrow person
- 29:45this is always the time so you know you don't write if they're like wait a minute this boy this
- 29:49is a different conversation I'm used to that's what you want to have to have to have trigger either
- 29:52mine and I read that in your book and I can't tell you how much that hit me because you may not be
- 29:57aware of it but but I spent a fair amount of time over the last two years working with a title
- 30:01company here in my backyard and one of the things some of the title reps kept
- 30:06peppering me for because I was the marketing technology director um they wanted the app of the
- 30:11week like what's the latest app what's the cool thing what's the bright because they always felt
- 30:16they had to walk in there with something new and different and the challenge for me was to get
- 30:22them to stop with that and just say wait them it's not about this app this thing it's what did they
- 30:29really need yeah and and shifting it was so hard for some people to just step out of the lane they
- 30:36been in for so long because they think that's their value if I'm the person bringing them the thing
- 30:43I'm winning but I love how you said you again I'll just say it in the book is it says right here
- 30:47does that look like loading another app on their phone that is similar to other apps from other
- 30:51companies right um that's not solving the problem that's not that's adding to I don't need another
- 30:57app I don't need another bright shiny object what we really need is solutions to our problems
- 31:02which is the premise of what we're going to now probably shift into and talking about this
- 31:06conversation is moving up that ladder from vendor to peer to mentor and leader that's how you do
- 31:13that I love the fact that you said business owner and that is a mind shift mind set shift also is
- 31:21going from salesperson loan officer whatever to business owner when you have that mindset of
- 31:27a business owner I know you know this the questions you ask yourself become different don't they
- 31:33yeah totally yeah you're evaluating every conversation you're in differently right this isn't just uh
- 31:40I mean go back to that mentality that you described right of maybe a common title person
- 31:45which is I need a bright and shiny object well the next person that comes in behind you's
- 31:49going to have a brighter and shinier object so you've just completely commoditized yourself right
- 31:55you are at six minute abs five minute abs for you know that old joke
- 32:01yeah and that's that's just not a place you want to compete in right because it's just
- 32:05what have you done for me this week what I've been bringing this week yeah and and that's how
- 32:10again you'll attract new agents all day long or even agents who are not ever really going to
- 32:16produce at a high level because they're so focused on a shiny object you and I both know that the
- 32:20key to this business is not a bright and shiny object it's finding a model and buying into it and
- 32:25being super consistent at doing it over a long period of time like those the agents that are
- 32:29going to win and so if you're if your methodology is attractive to people that love bright shiny
- 32:33objects you're always going to be spending your wheels because those people are going to be
- 32:35spinning out of the business right that's why 80% of the agents are out in two years is because
- 32:43they can't focus they can't choose a model and stick with it and focus and and build something those
- 32:47that do although sometimes far inferior when it comes to talent and looks and like whatever metric
- 32:55you could put on it they're just better because they they they double down and they focus and they
- 33:01get good at that one thing so whereas the mentality of a business owner right is again how do we
- 33:07create systems and processes and people who can consistently put in create a consistent input so
- 33:14that we can get a consistent output and then and you measure that you tweak it and you improve
- 33:18upon it and the way that you approach these business owners because that's what they are if you
- 33:25approach them as a as a up street peddler of shiny objects you're not going to track the
- 33:31business owners you got to come in with a business owner approach in order to attract business
- 33:35owners in order for it to be the attractive to business owners yeah and I guess the last
- 33:41point on that regarding business owners and this is another issue for lawn officers listening
- 33:46up right now is that too many times I've heard lawn officers believe that these quote unquote
- 33:51producing agents don't you know they're struggling with what problems do they have like they're
- 33:57a producing agent they're already quote successful right and a business owner always has problems
- 34:08to solve no matter of what is the problem right well and that's when we're thinking about
- 34:15it came from a lawn officers perspective is sure you can come in with your new loan products
- 34:20and your new stuff but if you stop talking and start asking good questions right that I believe
- 34:25should be in at least kind of those three major categories of where you headed what's your plan
- 34:31and what bottlenecks to you foresee if you can if you can come out because again I don't know if I
- 34:35finish my thought is that there's there's two major reasons for this meeting number one is to be
- 34:40triggered to be able to see to have them see you as more than a vendor you know for them to see
- 34:46you as a peer at minimum the last thing is to actually gather intelligence that allows you to serve
- 34:54them right like actually to to know what their problem is because again if you are simply prescribing
- 35:00without diagnosing right you're a total like if you were a doctor you'd be you lose your
- 35:05license over that right and maybe loan officer should lose their license as well if they come in
- 35:10and prescribe without diagnosing like be the doctor that doesn't come out into the waiting room
- 35:15and start just passing out medication everybody hey you'd be done so quick right whereas and that's
- 35:21what that's what we do is we come out we say I got I got the best loan product loan product loan
- 35:24product loan product does it post a saying tell me where where you at like where you headed
- 35:30what's your plan and and what bottlenecks do you see you know what now that you say that I think I
- 35:35have some things that might be beneficial to you now at least your your prescription has some
- 35:40context for them and they realize how this helps them yeah people have to take you seriously and
- 35:45on that note one thing that I found that you maybe you found this in the in the in the book that I
- 35:49shared is that some of the people feel intimidated to ask those questions because they don't feel like
- 35:53they're qualified to be able to answer them all right like well I don't really want to ask like
- 35:58like I don't like who might be a business consultant I'm just a loan officer and it's it's you don't
- 36:04have to know all the things yourself and you don't definitely don't have to know them on the spot
- 36:08but you just get curious ask good questions and and and maybe ask at minimum are you are you open
- 36:14if I if I if I have somebody that I could introduce you to or an idea that might help this is it
- 36:21okay if I circle back and you've apparently need to ask permission for that people if they've told
- 36:25you their problem they're they're kind of saying like I'm open to having some help me to fix them
- 36:30right and and so I always tell people that there's there's four buckets from which you can pull from
- 36:36that ought to give you the confidence to ask that question to anybody and everybody like I would
- 36:40feel comfortable sitting in front of Richard Branson or any tycoon Elon Musk like let's say that
- 36:48right kind of the business tycoon of our era like Elon Musk and I sit down with him and I
- 36:52I would ask him these questions like tell me what's your vision for Twitter right what what what
- 36:57does that look like um what's your plan to do that okay business plan what bottlenecks to you
- 37:04foresee okay now Elon's going to be saying some things that I'm going to have no idea how to solve
- 37:08I've never run a technology company like Twitter I don't know right but here's what I do know
- 37:12is that there's four buckets from which I can pull from number one is who do I know that might be
- 37:17able to help Elon solve that problem who I currently know right now number two is what do I know
- 37:23that might help Elon solve that problem okay that's that's the second bucket those ones are
- 37:28are finite right because it's who I currently know and what I currently know the other two are
- 37:32infinite which is the third bucket is who could I know that might be able to help Elon solve that
- 37:38problem right and the fourth bucket is what could I learn what could I know that might help Elon
- 37:45solve that problem right so now it's it's those buckets using even the power of the internet right
- 37:51or conversations with other bright people we can solve any problem in the world right or at least
- 37:56direct people at least offer some sort of guidance and help that's beneficial and that's how you move
- 38:02from being even just appear to being a mentor and leader they recognize that you just identified
- 38:07their biggest problem and now you're bringing back connections and ideas that help solve that even
- 38:14if they don't aren't the perfect fit just the fact that you played at that level you're going to be
- 38:20seen differently and they're going to want to take another meeting and they're going to want to be
- 38:23in business with you because they realize again that where they're at and where they want to be at
- 38:28there's a path there and you just paved a highway they realize I got to have this Jeff guy in my
- 38:33world because I know I'm going to get there faster if he's in it right yeah and that has a that has
- 38:38value above and beyond what you already deliver as a professional for your service offering which is
- 38:43expected that you deliver anyways all right that's that's an awesome conversation so and that's
- 38:47probably a good pivot for us to talk about the other reason why I wanted to bring you on the podcast
- 38:52and bring this to the attention of my listeners is I was introduced to you through an acquaintance
- 38:59that I've known mutual acquaintance business the business acquaintance for for over two years now
- 39:03Don Jochem and it's this this concept of the family office and and I want to unpack if you could
- 39:09the family office and what you guys are doing specific to the mortgage and real estate world with
- 39:15the family office could you do that yeah you bet so I've had my own coaching company for a number of
- 39:19years now and and I'll be honest I was even at times getting frustrated with it because I would
- 39:26teach these principles to a loan officer teach these principles to a to a real estate agent and
- 39:32it's almost like if I were to take a basketball team and I take one person on that team
- 39:39and I train them up how to be really good right but nobody else goes to practice nobody else learns
- 39:43anything and I put them on the court I feel I can't figure out why they aren't winning it's because
- 39:48I was training one person right and when I met Don Don opened up a vision to me of what what he
- 39:55was building and asked and invited me to be a part of it and it's this is that if you can train
- 40:00everybody in that circle all the key players that surround a real estate transaction how to think
- 40:06and operate this way the referrals will flow like the salmon of Capastrano I just coated them
- 40:14my wife coated that over the weekend I just smiled at them like I love you um anyway so the
- 40:19the the point behind it is is if you just teach one person what it becomes their job it becomes
- 40:25a loan officer job to go teach the real estate agent how to think this way and the financial advisor
- 40:29how to think this way and the CPA how to think this way and so they're you're met with some
- 40:35resistance because what they're used to seeing from a loan officer is common let's be honest
- 40:40what's common is common right and so they don't treat you differently right away over time can you
- 40:46can you help help shift them and give them some ahas no doubt undoubtedly and that's what we were
- 40:51seeing that's what I'm seeing with my coaching clients is that you have these conversations
- 40:56enough but there's also a burden on them to go teach these other players how to think this way
- 41:02and so what we have identified is that they're there are life events in which there are certain
- 41:09professionals who are almost always needed during those life events those life events could be
- 41:14birth death marriage divorce uh you know retirement relocation uh business sale whatever right
- 41:24these these life events happen and the household the client themselves would best be would be best
- 41:31served if they had a collaboration from multiple of those professionals right let's take an asset
- 41:38sale business sale for example commercial real estate agent you bet a lender yeah you bet right
- 41:43an attorney a CPA um potentially their private bank like there's there's people around there
- 41:50that if they were to not only know that that life event were happening but be able to work
- 41:55collaboratively collaboratively with all the people who could also help during that time
- 42:02insurance is another one that things would go so much smoother for the household so at the very
- 42:07outset what we're doing is we are democratizing an idea that was once reserved only for the uber
- 42:13wealthy i'll give an example if you're a billionaire right let's say you're Elon Musk since we're
- 42:19using his name right that whether you love Elon or hate Elon that's not the point of this okay the
- 42:23point is he has a lot of money right wealthy spend in the world he has what's called a family office
- 42:29where he has his own financial advisory team his own real estate team his own insurance team his own
- 42:35property management team his own like he has his own team well because he can because there's
- 42:39enough wealth there to deal with it and that's why the wealthy continue to get more and more wealthy
- 42:44because they have a team around them that that works collaboratively together and so what we're
- 42:51doing is we're taking that concept of a family office and we're democratizing it bringing it down
- 42:56for the common consumer for the average person we're allowing them to have access to a family office
- 43:03so we are reconstructing that in the form of identifying professionals in each county of the
- 43:08country exclusive in their area their territory to build out a family office so for example in
- 43:17each family office there will be a residential real estate agent there may be a commercial real estate
- 43:21agent it's up to the family office to decide what they want there'll be somebody who's expert
- 43:24insurance a financial advisor a CPA potentially a business banker right potentially like there will
- 43:31be that core group of attorneys see tax professionals real estate professionals who come together
- 43:40to do two things number one to work together to find the ideal clients that they can serve collaboratively
- 43:47now when I say collaboratively I don't mean like you're not going to bring all seven professionals to
- 43:51the table at once necessarily you may right but there will be certain times where you'll bring two or
- 43:57three people together to serve a client household during a life event so the first thing that a family
- 44:04office does is it well the first thing is as is it provides a superior experience for the household
- 44:08that they've never experienced before because it's not just one person's value proposition of I'm a
- 44:14lender and I do this different a better it's a combined value propositions of everybody it's a
- 44:19combined value propositions of this family office so you are far and away unique and different
- 44:24because you have access to bring people together who work collaboratively together like an all-star
- 44:29basketball team who who has worked together for a long time right so that's the concept now
- 44:37how is this good for the for the professional getting back to my thought what my comment is that
- 44:41the first thing that they do is they they share a common avatar and because they share a common
- 44:47avatar it gets really easy for them to bring that person to the table and refer it to the other
- 44:51parties right so you're you're getting help finding the ideal clients to serve that's the
- 44:57first thing the second thing is that you are serving them collaboratively right you're you're
- 45:03actually working together to to serve that household so when you do that you the family office
- 45:09becomes a really unique situation to be a part of because you're not having to just work by
- 45:16referral through your own database nor are you having to supplement that those referrals with
- 45:23with prospecting nor with internet leads you can get enough from the family office enough
- 45:31warm referrals that it will sustain a very robust business and you can cut out the time that you
- 45:37would normally spend finding clients and you can reallocate that to serving clients and earning
- 45:44a higher dollar per hour because everybody again shares a common client so that's the concept
- 45:49of the family office that again we're bringing to not just to the households but we're also bringing
- 45:54that concept to professionals helping them to to scale a referral business in it in an entirely
- 45:59new way yeah I love it I'm involved and on board because I think as I told you in a previous
- 46:06conversation this is what I've been teaching for years is you know you kind of build your I was
- 46:11calling this you know to borrow a phrase from my buddy Wally Ellibary this is kind of like the
- 46:14wealth team that you know you would build this this this referral network now I there are some
- 46:21key differences here though because sometimes and I know you've you've addressed these questions
- 46:24in the past when they think about okay so you're telling me I'm gonna assemble like a financial
- 46:28advisor right maybe a CPA a lender a realtor etc plus you're gonna have other affiliates in there
- 46:36um what's the difference of doing this versus other versions of this that have been done in
- 46:41the past yeah I would say the common thing that people say is is this like a litip or a B&I
- 46:47and I and I invite them to to this and that there's no um those you that have been a part of one
- 46:53of those productive groups know that they can be very good um I would say though that that a
- 46:58distinct difference is that the people who are invited into the family office are those who serve
- 47:04during unique life events they're asset-based professionals and those who can who can
- 47:11queue us up that a life event is coming right um it's not gonna be for
- 47:15chiropractors necessarily it's not gonna be for a florist right just because there's an opening
- 47:20in your chapter and there's nobody else there does not mean that they're the right fit for
- 47:24for for for your group and you needing a back adjustment isn't necessarily a life of that
- 47:30I feel like at the moment but yeah I don't know that your plans would argue or or or would
- 47:36attest that that would fit inside of a family office setting the other big thing thing that we do
- 47:41is that oftentimes in those settings all the value is exchanged behind closed doors so it's still
- 47:48really invites a siloed type of atmosphere so for example if I go to one of those meetings 90
- 47:53minutes on a Friday morning let's say and I've been a part of them before and it was it was a
- 47:57decent experience right I did recognize that there was an added burden that it wasn't just
- 48:01shown up for 90 minutes but I had to actually needed to actually do it to be a good standing member
- 48:05to do multiple one-on-ones a week right that oftentimes took an hour at least to where I'm
- 48:09getting no other people right and and I get that and that's what makes those those work
- 48:13but when you're meeting with somebody who you know is not gonna be a valuable resource for you
- 48:17and vice versa it's it's it's it's it's not always that fun of time you kind of do it out of
- 48:21obligation but back to my point of you you get behind closed doors to teach each other how to
- 48:27refer you and then everybody goes back to their own silos right I step back into my world let's say
- 48:32as a real estate agent and I'm hoping that the or the financial or I'm hoping that I said something
- 48:38good enough that the financial advisor will think of me and remember me and bring me up to his
- 48:43clients or clients right I'm hoping that I said something remarkable enough when I did my
- 48:48presentation that the CPA says you know what I'm gonna bring you up to my clients and we see it
- 48:53differently rather than getting behind closed doors to train each other we actually serve the
- 48:59client collaboratively so we bring the client to the center of where values be in exchange to the
- 49:04events that we do are centered around serving a client would collaboratively come together to
- 49:09serve those clients towards that there's not this you know a couple hours a week invested to do
- 49:14this you're simply spending a couple hours a week to actually serve a client and actually make
- 49:18money on a client right and you're only bringing in people who are who are uniquely identified as serving
- 49:24your your avatar in common as opposed to anybody who who wants to get in because there's opening
- 49:30you know an opening what what are example of these types of events that come together to serve the
- 49:35client yeah so a couple of them one is called an expert panel so when you have this these kinds of
- 49:41professionals around you right you could easily say real estate agent lender and financial advisor
- 49:49or let's say real estate agent 1031 exchange and a tax professional let's come together
- 50:00each one of us are going to invite our client base to a private zoom meeting where we're going to
- 50:06be giving a panel discussion on how to exchange out of properties in the coming year based on
- 50:14the new tax law that was just passed right and so rather than again just hoping that I've trained
- 50:21you well enough to where you go talk about it I'm going to be talking about it in front of your
- 50:24clients because you invited them to this expert panel event so it's actually a combined event
- 50:30there's also we're also going to be bringing in ideal avatars that meet that we've got
- 50:38partnerships with big data companies that will allow us to identify other people in the community
- 50:42that would be invited to that expert panel event so it's not just the the respective databases
- 50:47of those involved but other community members that would have interest in this particular thing
- 50:51another one is is actually a family office consultation where we because we have a unique
- 50:57avatar we know who would be a good fit to actually bring them into a zoom meeting
- 51:03and have the insurance agent have the lender have the real estate agent and the tax professional
- 51:09there to consult together so that that group works cohesively together to serve that household's
- 51:17needs again we're not behind closed doors hoping that we then when we return to our silos we remember
- 51:22each other we're breaking down the silos and we're working together on the same household
- 51:28yeah I mean that makes sense for those that are looking to not have to chase but to build a team
- 51:34of like-minded professionals that that are all serving the same need which is a person right who
- 51:41has quote unquote a life event you mentioned those earlier in our conversation birth diploma married
- 51:45promoted transferred divorce right those are examples and I love the fact that you did highlight
- 51:51as compared to other kind of quote unquote networking and I wouldn't even describe this as
- 51:54networking this is a whole different thing meaning remember the family the family office concept
- 51:59which is exclusively designed for before high net worth individuals I look at this is this you know
- 52:07grouping of people is designed for people of the right of the same and similar mindset in that
- 52:11they want to serve at a higher level and they all have or wreck or or I was gonna say all have
- 52:17the same problem that might be articulated differently but the point is they recognize the value
- 52:24of building partnerships so they too also don't have to continue to chase business you know and all
- 52:31with that does that make sense yeah 100 percent well said yeah the chase goes away and people
- 52:36like well how am I gonna have time to do all this what's because you you kind of back to my comment
- 52:42if you can identify those professionals whose current clients are your future clients
- 52:48like the hunt goes away the search goes away you simply serve each other's clients
- 52:53right and you're introduced to call it a dozen other databases of people who are your ideal avatar
- 53:00and by the way it's not like you're just shown up in their news feed there is a warm introduction
- 53:05from their advisor who they've trusted for the past 10 years that's a way different experience
- 53:09than being introduced via Zillow right or being introduced via you know some other online
- 53:15lead campaign or or you introducing yourself by calling their phone right like their advisor is
- 53:21introducing you yeah so how you gonna have time to do this well because you're gonna cut out all the
- 53:27chase all the all the unnecessary fat that it actually isn't serving clients you'll be simply
- 53:31introduced to your ideal clients yeah which is like the example you gave yeah I didn't want to
- 53:38meet with the Mary K person per se right just to check my box yeah you've got to use your time
- 53:43very wisely so to sum this all up and and we do have if anybody's listening and wants to learn more
- 53:48about this and like I said I'm definitely involved and I'm looking for other like-minded professionals
- 53:53if you're hearing this right now across the country and you're interested to learn more about this
- 53:56and you've got some questions there's additional information that you definitely need to know but you
- 54:01can go to growmyfamilyoffice.com and I'm gonna be scheduling probably a informational you know
- 54:08meeting webinar zoom to just walk through the next stages of learning more to see if this is the
- 54:13right fit for both of us because this isn't for everybody we're not looking for everybody nor should
- 54:18you be so once again it's growmyfamilyoffice.com to summarize this is what we're doing is connecting
- 54:25professionals through the creation of a local family office community right you're gonna have your
- 54:30own areas gonna be exclusive to you so you can identify and partner these service-based professionals
- 54:38as you've heard mentioned to collaborate and find the you know mutual clients during those
- 54:43important life events did I summarize that well I was super well said yeah super well said all
- 54:49right anything else you want to tell us about this before we wrap up because you know we're almost out
- 54:52of time yeah I think the only thing I would add in is just there's opportunities to help us build
- 54:57this right there's as Jeff described there's ways for you to to come in as a family office leader
- 55:02right where you're actually building out your own family office and again as soon as you hear

- 55:18this resonates with you speak up get kind of a Jeff right away yeah if you're sending yourself like

- 55:54like technologies moving faster than ever and if and if you want to not become out of ties by it
- 56:00or the common professional now's the time to move yeah and the cool thing about this is by the way
- 56:04that we're not saying this is a replacement for you being a mortgage professional right this is
- 56:08in addition to and giving you access to these additional sources of business so that very clear
- 56:15and let's close out on this because I love this from the book because part of your book is
- 56:19talks about disruption and you know tech disruptors and all that and should I be afraid but this one
- 56:23quote from Terry Sprague I think sums it up as she says while others are doubling down on artificial
- 56:30intelligence I'm doubling down on human intelligence yeah I love that it's good stuff that's how you win
- 56:38that's with the big boys and girls the tech disruptors can't do can they take market share
- 56:42yes absolutely they're they're going to do it but you've got to protect your market share and I
- 56:47think the best way to do that is through relationships connections partnerships and things like
