- 1:17Hey listeners, Jeff Zimper, welcome to this week's episode of Mortgage Marketing
- 1:38Radio.
- 1:39Thanks for tuning in.
- 1:41So question for you, do you ever feel like you never get enough done in the day?
- 1:47Do you ever feel like you've got too much to do?
- 1:49Do you ever feel like the days taking control of you instead of you taking control of the
- 1:54day?
- 1:55How about walking in to your day with the best intentions, only to be sidetracked by other
- 2:01people's priorities and urgency and interruptions that takes you off track, gets you off focus,
- 2:11down what's urgent rather than essential things.
- 2:14You need to be done to achieve your goals, we've all been there, right?
- 2:19Some of us are there a little too often, you come to the office and you immediately get
- 2:24sidetracked by a loan on fire or a urgent reel to your call.
- 2:28You spend your day reacting, which ends up in, now you're completely off course.
- 2:34The next thing you get to the afternoon where you want to get some a lot of important
- 2:39stuff done and you don't and then by the end of the day, you realize you've never completed
- 2:43your key disciplines, you're missing those really core activities you need to be doing
- 2:49on a consistent basis.
- 2:50Well, if you can relate to that and if you're a normal officer today, I'm shooting a
- 2:54camera.
- 2:55And this episode is just for you.
- 2:57My special guest, Todd Bookspan, Todd Bookspan, has become a mentor of mine from afar
- 3:03for a variety of reasons.
- 3:05Number one, he's got 25 years of experience as an entrepreneur and a business leader.
- 3:09For the past 15 years, he's a mortgage originator and he's built one heck of a successful
- 3:13team in the Arizona market, right?
- 3:17He grew a mortgage bank from five to 85 employees in four branches and he took the lead role
- 3:24in developing and designing a coaching program for originators.
- 3:26And following his program, Todd coached his group of law officers for several years
- 3:31helping to expand their personal and team production, leading to being in the top 30
- 3:37ranked mortgage originators in 2015 and yielding more than 540 closed loans and 113 million
- 3:44and loan volume.
- 3:46That is an impressive resume, people.
- 3:48And furthermore, Todd has recently become an executive coach with building champions,
- 3:53which is one of the premier coaching organizations out there for mortgage professionals.
- 3:57And Todd recently rolled out a fantastic plan, or if you will, for loan officers and
- 4:04for real estate agents.
- 4:05It's called win by me, right?
- 4:06And the concept is winning the day by me.
- 4:09And so in this conversation, Todd Knight unpacked, right, what are some of the roadblocks
- 4:13that most originators and agents face when it comes to getting the things done that they
- 4:18want to get done?
- 4:19Why do too many of us get sidetracked by other people's priorities by having their day explode
- 4:26on them rather than being intentional and being very focused and disciplined with the activities
- 4:33and high priority tasks you need to do during the day?
- 4:36You know, some people refer to this as time blocking, right?
- 4:40Maybe you call it priority blocking.
- 4:41I don't care what you call it, bottom line is, you and I both know we need to be intentional
- 4:46about our day, about our calendar, about our activities, and we need to have structure
- 4:51and a plan, and it needs to be repeated, refined, and mastered over time.
- 4:56So Todd Knight kind of unpacked this whole issue that, you know, as I asked him and I asked
- 5:02many, many other people that, you know, that are, what I would consider successful, highly
- 5:06productive originators, what's the number one thing that keeps them, that blocks them from
- 5:11achieving what they really want to achieve as a high performance person, as a, quote, top
- 5:17producing originator, and more often than not, almost 100% of the time.
- 5:21The answer comes back to effectively managing your priority, and taking control of your
- 5:26day, and being intentional about your tasks and your activities, and setting up a plan
- 5:30in the system, where you get your activities completely, when you build the discipline,
- 5:35right?
- 5:36To get done, what you need to get done, knowing that every day won't be perfect, there'll
- 5:40be times when you do need to manage a crisis, right, or a file or whatever.
- 5:44But having your structure, your plan, your intentionally designed calendar and activities
- 5:49in place, so you make the right decisions about how to take control of your day, instead
- 5:55of your day taking control of you.
- 5:58Start to do that, and you'll see amazing results.
- 6:00So with that said, let's get in to this week's show.
- 6:05Todd, welcome to the show.
- 6:07Super excited to be here, Jeff.
- 6:08Thanks for having me.
- 6:09Super excited to have you, man.
- 6:10I have been following you watching you for some time, and if anybody's not following you,
- 6:15yet Todd Bookspan, they will.
- 6:17By the end of this session, and they'll understand why they need to.
- 6:21So as you know, I kind of do the formal, you know, I already introduced people to who you
- 6:25are ahead of time, but why don't you just give us kind of the personal version of that,
- 6:29you know, who's Todd Bookspan?
- 6:30What's he all about?
- 6:31What's his secret to superhero strength?
- 6:33Well, I don't know if there's any superhero strength to talk about as a secret.
- 6:38Maybe that's what the secret is, there is none, but I appreciate that intro.
- 6:42You know, I've just been an entrepreneur since I was a kid, and you know, kind of stumbled
- 6:47after 10 years in the bike business, and going back to school, they ate my MBA, stumbled
- 6:51into the mortgage business about 16 years ago or so, and just loved the business from
- 6:57the get-go really, really fell in love with it, and started really as a producer, but
- 7:02I built a team early on.
- 7:03Everyone made fun of me.
- 7:04I was part-time as a loan officer while I was getting my MBA at night, and I had a part-time
- 7:08assistant.
- 7:09Everyone else in the office who had been doing it for a long time, I thought it was crazy
- 7:13that I had someone to help me do things, but at that time, you know, we still had to
- 7:16highlight 10 or 3s and mail them to people to sign, and had someone to run my database.
- 7:20I just thought that wasn't the most efficient use of my time, and really over the next 15
- 7:24years, really built a team, spent some time along the way, you know, in a net branch
- 7:29that I owned with a business partner, spent some time along the way, building an Arizona
- 7:34mark, almost 104 branches, doing the recruiting there, and really always kept focus on my team
- 7:40and growing my team as well, and all the way exited, taking 10 or 3s last year to focus
- 7:45on coaching.
- 7:46My team still last year finished up the year at about 550 units, about $115 million,
- 7:51and so...
- 7:52Wow.
- 7:53So, just to reiterate, there might be a little bit of an audio challenge, but I've heard
- 7:57you say is, you grew the offices out in your market to over 100 offices?
- 8:04That would have been awesome.
- 8:05We grew from four employees in one office to almost 100 employees in four offices.
- 8:09Okay.
- 8:10Got 100 employees for office.
- 8:11Sorry, my bad.
- 8:12But I did hear that the units last year you said was, how much again?
- 8:14For just my team last year, the units were $551, about $115 million.
- 8:18Wow.
- 8:19Wow.
- 8:20So, how long actively originating for you?
- 8:2215 years, the origination seat.
- 8:24Wow.
- 8:25That's amazing.
- 8:26So, I know now you've transitioned over to be an executive coach for building champions,
- 8:29is that right?
- 8:30Correct.
- 8:31And I can relate to that too, but I want for other listeners, you know, what was the
- 8:33motivation or the desire behind that?
- 8:35That's a great question.
- 8:36And, you know, one of the things I was fortunate enough early on was to fall into coaching.
- 8:40And I say, fall in, because I didn't really know what I was getting into, but I hired
- 8:43building champions as a coach, really when I was in the business for less than two years.
- 8:47And coach Bill Hart was my coach for the first four years.
- 8:50And then I was able to join a group, a smaller group, at that time I was a little over two
- 8:54dozen now.
- 8:55It's about 40 people in a group that they have called Masters Coach, which comes together
- 8:58once a quarter for a couple days and really a high level group of folks.
- 9:02And I really just helped me grow first and foremost in business at the time.
- 9:06That was why I joined it.
- 9:07That was really my focus.
- 9:08But what I realized as I was going through it, as I became a better human being right there,
- 9:13their focus on business and life really was a game changer for me and just relationships
- 9:17at home with my wife and kids as well as outside of there.
- 9:21And so as I was kind of growing as an originator and working on what my vision was, I always
- 9:25knew someday I would be a coach.
- 9:27And then at one point put, why wait on my life plan and just decided to jump in and start
- 9:33coaching earlier.
- 9:34And luckily for me, I've got a great business partner and my wife who runs the team now
- 9:38so that I could step out and follow my passion and help other people grow.
- 9:42That's awesome.
- 9:43That's awesome.
- 9:44And I can definitely relate to that too as well with the coaching thing.
- 9:47I think it's inherent in the DNA.
- 9:49Actually, a lot of us in this business in an interesting way.
- 9:52So Kudos to you for continuing to follow the passion and you're obviously very connected
- 9:56into the day-to-day activities of a loan officer on a regular basis.
- 10:01So it's interesting how you came back, I've known of you for some time, being part of
- 10:06the mortgage cost system and all that stuff and seeing some of the recordings you've done
- 10:09in the past.
- 10:10But then you came on in a big way.
- 10:13All of a sudden one day, Todd shows up with this thing called, Win the Day by Noon.
- 10:18And I'm like, what the heck is that, man?
- 10:22I love the title.
- 10:24So I watch the videos and all that stuff and I order it and I dig in and I finally understand
- 10:28this.
- 10:29And I love what you've done here is because you've taken what, and you know this from
- 10:33coaching, I know this and everybody listening probably understands this at some level that
- 10:38the, like what you say in your webpage, which we're going to put all the links in the
- 10:42show now, it's but it's winbynoon.com.
- 10:43But you've got a quote from Jim Rohn on there, which is either you run the day or the
- 10:47day runs you.
- 10:49And you talk about in the first couple of pages of your winbynoon manual, which we'll
- 10:54unpack here in a second, but I want you to talk about your realization.
- 10:58Tell me about that realization, was it like an epiphany and aha moment?
- 11:01Was it just after seven years of like, my gosh, there's got to be a better way where
- 11:05you realized like, you know, your biggest success was going to come from you controlling
- 11:09your day.
- 11:10So can you share with us a little bit about how you reach that point?
- 11:13Yeah, you know, I've always been sort of a productivity nerd and I've always known that,
- 11:16you know, if I was an intentional about what I was going to do, that it would be, you
- 11:21know, kind of a train wreck from there.
- 11:22I'm super easily distracted.
- 11:24You know, I think like most other people, you know, I was, I want to be a people pleaser.
- 11:27I wanted to help my business partners.
- 11:29I wanted to help my clients and I always wanted to be available.
- 11:33And what I realized was that that oftentimes led to frustration.
- 11:36I would get to the end of the day.
- 11:37And I just really hadn't accomplished my most important task for the day.
- 11:40I might have said, oh, awesome.
- 11:41I got to call these 12 people or I have to do these updates or, you know, do some outbound
- 11:45prospecting for new realtor partners or whatever it was.
- 11:48And I was just so often that I didn't quite get there.
- 11:51And after I got out of that, you know, spent five years focusing on growing branches.
- 11:56And you know, my team was still around and I was still involved day to day in that.
- 11:59But, but I had stepped out of the full time of a regenerator chair.
- 12:02I was doing a little bit of both.
- 12:03And so when I got back into a regeneration when that company got sold, I really made this
- 12:07committed focus that if I was going to do it, it was going to be done differently.
- 12:11And so I ultimately learned to say no, which is really hard for me.
- 12:15I learned to set boundaries for what my day was going to look like.
- 12:19And inadvertently I set up my calendar where nobody could schedule anything for me before
- 12:231130.
- 12:24And so I did that so that I could actually make sure that I could every day get the on
- 12:28time done that needs to do working on my business.
- 12:30I could get the proactive lead calls done that I needed to do that I needed to do for my
- 12:35business.
- 12:36And then whatever those other calls that I was going to do each day, whether it was,
- 12:38you know, update calls to my pipeline of loans that were closing, whether it was an update
- 12:43calls to my pipeline of pre-approved borrowers or my real tours.
- 12:46And then really just book any my week with proactive planning on Mondays for what I had going
- 12:50on for the week ahead, just to make sure I call it from the weekend.
- 12:53And then the same thing on Friday, right?
- 12:54Review bards, right?
- 12:55What did I do well this week?
- 12:57What didn't I do well?
- 12:58Are there holes that I had?
- 12:59Who else do I need to make sure that I connect with?
- 13:01And ultimately, I didn't realize I sort of had created this new philosophy until I started
- 13:05coaching.
- 13:06Because I had one my day by noon every day, by being intentional, by setting boundaries,
- 13:11by saying no.
- 13:12And just saying, I'm going to be really pig headed.
- 13:14I'm going to make sure I get this stuff done before I move on to something else.
- 13:16I really was able to do my business in the morning every morning.
- 13:20And then I also realized that I was supporting these big real estate teams.
- 13:23And I had other friends in the business who were also just, they were doing their work
- 13:26in the mornings.
- 13:27And those folks really all had a better business practice.
- 13:31They had a more relaxing business.
- 13:34They weren't all stressed out running around frantic and lo and behold, coin did as win
- 13:38by noon and created the planner.
- 13:41And here we are today.
- 13:42That's awesome.
- 13:43Thank you.
- 13:44So tell us why win the day by noon.
- 13:46What does that mean?
- 13:47Why is that important?
- 13:48I think it's such a great question.
- 13:49And maybe those of you listening can relate.
- 13:51I always woke up with the right intentions.
- 13:53I've wanted to accomplish everything I planned to accomplish that day.
- 13:56But what I found was that so many times I got so busy in my inbox, so busy reacting to
- 14:00phone calls and the text messages as I was talking about before, that if I didn't finish
- 14:06what I started in the morning, even though I said, oh, yeah, I'm going to get back to
- 14:08that at two or at four or whatever time it was, it was just really rare that I actually
- 14:12got back and accomplished that.
- 14:13And so as I was talking to clients who are asking me about my quote unquote success, if
- 14:19you want to call it that, I was realizing that they're all having those same challenges.
- 14:22And another one wake up and say, oh, I'm not going to accomplish what I want to accomplish
- 14:26today.
- 14:27So I'm going to say, I've got great intentions, I'm going to crush it.
- 14:31And then they get distracted, they get interrupted, they get phone calls and texts and mainly
- 14:36sucked into email.
- 14:37I mean, they just don't get it done.
- 14:38And so when I look back and I realized, you know what, I had my calendar blocked to
- 14:411130.
- 14:42I couldn't do anything else until I did those things.
- 14:44That was my commitment.
- 14:45And I was super focused on it, you know, I realized I won by noon.
- 14:48And so I do have other people who tell me that they're successful at, you know, working
- 14:53in the afternoon and getting everything done.
- 14:54But that's a few and far between.
- 14:55And so I think you just have to look at yourself and say, hey, is this a philosophy that
- 14:59I can, I can try and my will and adopt it.
- 15:03And I'm telling you that's working for people.
- 15:05So I would give it a shot.
- 15:06Is that help?
- 15:07Yeah, it does.
- 15:08And so let me hit you with a question that I'm sure you hear in coaching and so do I, because
- 15:11I present this concept of time blocking.
- 15:14And as you know, people have various associations to those two words time blocking.
- 15:18And here's what I often hear in coaching calls, right?
- 15:21Yeah, but I got a realtor call or I got to take this loan app.
- 15:25Or whatever, fill in the blank.
- 15:27I hear excuses as to why time blocking doesn't work for me.
- 15:30I can't not be available.
- 15:32You hear that?
- 15:33What do you say?
- 15:34You know, I say, I totally get it, right?
- 15:36I've been there and I felt that way before.
- 15:38So I do understand that, right?
- 15:40I mean, there is this whole ideal that people want us to be available 24 or seven.
- 15:45And my question always is, is, is what happens if I'm, if I'm not, right?
- 15:49What I found was when I went to 45 and went to an hour and then I went to this whole thing
- 15:53where I blocked my home morning.
- 15:55And you know, there was no emergencies, right?
- 15:57There really weren't.
- 15:58What I found was if there truly was an emergency, if there was a loan with a problem or an
- 16:02appraisal issue or whatever that was, somehow get a hold of a team member or my processor.
- 16:06And so, I mean, I don't even know if I can't think of an example of that, but I'm sure
- 16:10that there were.
- 16:11And you know, let's just say it was, you know, a couple times a, you know, I just didn't
- 16:13have that discipline not to answer it.
- 16:15I picked it up and they were just checking in with me on something unimportant.
- 16:19Or the, if I was a client who was calling me similar thing, right?
- 16:23They were just checking in with me on something that was unimportant.
- 16:25And if you're doing update calls every week and you've told your, your clients and your
- 16:29partners want to expect those calls, then yeah, they still may check in every once in
- 16:33a while, but they're typically going to be patient and wait until then.
- 16:36If they know that you are disciplined and blocking your time, they're going to be okay,
- 16:40leaving you a voicemail because they know that you're going to call them right back.
- 16:43Yeah.
- 16:44So it sounds like what you're saying then for people to make this transition is, you've
- 16:48got to set up the systems and communicate properly to let people know you're trying to,
- 16:53you're making this transition to more of a time blocked calendar.
- 16:56I don't know that you need to, right?
- 16:58There's going to be some critical people you need to say this to, right?
- 17:00I had to tell my wife, probably, probably a good idea because they wanted to talk to me
- 17:05in the mornings.
- 17:06I had to tell my team members, right?
- 17:08This is what I'm doing.
- 17:10And I had to tell them why.
- 17:11If you don't tell people why you're doing it to improve your execution, to improve your
- 17:15business for not just you, for all of them, then they may question it, right?
- 17:18You've got to empower those people around you.
- 17:20So when I've talked to people about this, like in the case of, you know, people having
- 17:24expected a 15 minute return call because that's what you've historically done in the past.
- 17:29Do you advise, though, that people leave, you know, an intelligent voicemail recording,
- 17:34you know, that simply says, you know, hi, this is Todd with ABC Mortgage.
- 17:38And currently I'm, you know, in, you know, block time focused whatever you call it, right?
- 17:43Anything with clients, et cetera, et cetera, I'll return calls between X and Y.
- 17:46I mean, does it make sense to kind of leave, or if you need a meeting assistant about
- 17:49a loan and profile contact, Jenny, my, you know what I'm saying, is that, is that a smart
- 17:53strategy?
- 17:54Yeah, sure.
- 17:55Why not?
- 17:56Right?
- 17:57I mean, it's a good baby step.
- 17:58I did that for a while where I would record a voicemail every day, telling people what
- 17:59my schedule was, but, you know, that was a lot of time.
- 18:02And I'm all about sitting time.
- 18:04And so if you listen to my voicemail during that time, it just said you reach Todd, you
- 18:07know, right?
- 18:08You know, and again, it had that same thing.
- 18:09If you need someone to meet the it to call, or I also forwarded my phone often times
- 18:13to an assistant so that they could answer, you know, answer those calls.
- 18:17I actually set up systems where my main phone number that you called it wasn't my cell
- 18:23phone.
- 18:24So, you know, again, that's probably a subject for a whole other call, but, but I didn't
- 18:26give clients my cell phone number.
- 18:27And so although there was times of the day where my phone forwarded, I mean, I set up,
- 18:32I set up systems to protect me from myself to make sure that I executed.
- 18:36But you know, I think that's a great opportunity if you've got someone that you can forward
- 18:40calls to why not then leave that on your voicemail that they can do it.
- 18:43If you're super brave and you're not worried about who's calling you, you can forward all
- 18:46your calls or do what I did and you can set up a system where you've got a different
- 18:49phone number than then you can actually not always be 24 seven because people don't
- 18:53actually all have your cell phone.
- 18:55That is a shocking suggestion for many listening.
- 18:58I am imagining because I've heard it said before for me, those are the, well, if I'm not
- 19:02available, they're going to go somewhere else.
- 19:04And that's always a possibility, right?
- 19:05I mean, if there's somebody, but, you know, who does business like that is always my
- 19:09question, right?
- 19:10I mean, I think that that is, you know, that's the risk is that someone is doing business
- 19:14that way where it's that hot of a call.
- 19:16What I tended to find was when I was working with agents and sometimes it was newer agents
- 19:20and sometimes it was experienced agents who were like, I need you to talk to this person
- 19:24right now.
- 19:25And then I would drop what I was doing.
- 19:27I would call that person and they'd be like, oh, yeah, I was telling them that I've
- 19:30got some credit challenges.
- 19:31I'm thinking, all right, well, what's the urgency around that?
- 19:33Right?
- 19:34I love helping people with credit challenges, but I could have actually called them tomorrow
- 19:38and I could have gotten their information or probably had a team member call and do
- 19:42that and then set up a credit planner, but it was really rare that it was truly urgent.
- 19:47Again, you just have to look at your business and, you know, maybe again, you need to set
- 19:50up systems around that.
- 19:51And then I would say, does it have to be you?
- 19:53Could you, you know, have a team member do that?
- 19:55But, you know, ultimately, what we think and what reality aren't always connected.
- 20:00Yeah.
- 20:01Yeah.
- 20:02Absolutely.
- 20:03Yeah.
- 20:04It's usually in the person's head.
- 20:05Having a conversation with somebody that says, let's just say this is their core 5 or 10
- 20:09agents and says, you know, hey, I'm going to be moving to this kind of a plan for my business
- 20:13blocking time.
- 20:14I know it's important to you as well, Mr. and Mrs. Agent, you know, but here's my commitment
- 20:18to you.
- 20:19So if you get my voicemail, right, et cetera, I think in some cases, that makes sense
- 20:22to let those kind of, right, really close partners know.
- 20:26But that's a good answer.
- 20:27All right.
- 20:28So let's, let's, let's talk about this.
- 20:29Let's transition into when the day by noon, this, this wonderfully beautiful planner that
- 20:33I've got here in my, in my hands.
- 20:36And I like the way how you've sketched out some, some examples of what a good day time
- 20:41block looks like.
- 20:42And of course, everybody's going to have their own version of this and you make a critical
- 20:46point of winning the day by noon, which is getting all those, like Brian Tracy used to
- 20:50say, right?
- 20:51Eat that frog first.
- 20:52Absolutely.
- 20:53Yeah.
- 20:54Getting all that critical stuff like I love here, you have a morning routine, right?
- 20:56What is your morning ritual?
- 20:57Is it exercise, meditation, you know, whatever it is?
- 21:00Have that as a way to set the stage for your success.
- 21:03And then you have these activities blocked out in here, like first thing in the morning,
- 21:06clear email and voicemail, 8 a.m., 9 a.m., lead and app follow up, et cetera, et cetera.
- 21:12And you've got all of these like themed blocks throughout the week.
- 21:15So let's say I've come to you for a consultation and I need help time blocking.
- 21:22How would you start with me?
- 21:23You know, if you were one of those people who has no routine and you're just kind of winging
- 21:27it every day, then I would say, try this, right, give it a shot.
- 21:31You can't just try it for a day and go, oh, that was really dumb.
- 21:34I mean, this Todd guy's crazy.
- 21:35No one can do this because it's not true.
- 21:38I've got super successful friends and clients who have been, who have been doing this.
- 21:42And don't make sense to you.
- 21:43That's okay.
- 21:44But try him first and then you can always move the blocks around, right?
- 21:48It's kind of like Legos, right?
- 21:49You can put a red one on top of a white one and a blue one over here and then maybe,
- 21:52you know, you just switch yours around different than mine.
- 21:54Yeah.
- 21:55And I like how you have in the afternoon, like from 130 on, there's a block from like
- 21:59130 to 230 that says, react.
- 22:02And that that would be the time to react to those, you know, calm fires or whatever, at
- 22:07various degrees or issues that are important, but not urgent because too often people are
- 22:12reacting in the moment when they don't need to.
- 22:15And that's why we lose productivity, right?
- 22:18You're absolutely correct.
- 22:19And that's really is what our business is.
- 22:21We're reacting to our partners and to our clients, you know, day in and doubt.
- 22:26And what I found was is that if you schedule your time to do that and reacting also was
- 22:31proactive meetings with clients, right?
- 22:33And so, you know, getting for me, client would say, awesome, I want to come in and do a consultation.
- 22:37I'd say great.
- 22:38And then they would, you know, say, hey, we do that 10 o'clock on Thursday.
- 22:41And I would just say, you know what?
- 22:42I've already got a commitment then.
- 22:43I didn't have to tell him the commitment was to me in my time block.
- 22:46I just said, I have a commitment.
- 22:47Awesome.
- 22:48Hey, would want to clock work.
- 22:49And, you know, 99 times out of 100, they said, yes.
- 22:51And, you know, I always say that there's going to be exceptions you have to make.
- 22:55But I'll just tell you for me, they were very few and far between especially because I had
- 22:59half a dozen people who could schedule for me and they had to ask my permission to make
- 23:02an exception.
- 23:03But, you know, if it was a big business development opportunity and they only could meet me
- 23:06before noon and we'd already thrown a couple of other options at them, absolutely.
- 23:09We did that, right?
- 23:10If it was a big client or an important client and they could only meet in the mornings,
- 23:14you know, absolutely make an exception for that.
- 23:15There was one day a week where I went to a remax office meet or one day a month where
- 23:18I went to remax office meeting the first Tuesday of every month.
- 23:20And ironically, that was the day that I typically failed to get all my update calls done.
- 23:24I typically failed to do everything else I was supposed to do that day.
- 23:27And so, it was a perfect lesson for me, but it was a commitment I made and I wanted
- 23:31to keep that commitment.
- 23:32But once I gave that to someone else on the team and they had to show up there instead,
- 23:35then all of a sudden I was winning that Tuesday as well.
- 23:38Yeah.
- 23:39That's so funny.
- 23:40I had that experience this week with somebody who's got, you know, a call scheduled
- 23:43to me with me.
- 23:44It probably happened more than once, but, you know, or I get the email, it's like, hey,
- 23:46a client called and asked and said, you know, can they meet today at three?
- 23:50And that's the only time they can meet.
- 23:52I'm like, are you sure it's the only time?
- 23:55Again, they could be really busy.
- 23:56And so I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but in the end,
- 23:59I, you know, I often found that if I reproposed a different time, they would say, oh, yeah,
- 24:03that works.
- 24:04Well, you know what I'm getting?
- 24:05And most people just folded like, oh, my God, a client wants to be with, yes, yes.
- 24:08When were?
- 24:09Exactly.
- 24:10And then they put off something that could be even more important, right?
- 24:12I mean, you know, going to their kids, you know, school, software game or something like that.
- 24:15And so I just think you have to set those, you know, set those boundaries.
- 24:18It was really interesting.
- 24:18I was, I connected with a client, or I'm going to say a client, she's just a, a win by
- 24:23noon, a subscriber, let's just call her that.
- 24:25And I connected with her because I'd gotten a large number of real estate agent orders
- 24:29for the loan officer edition of win by noon last quarter.
- 24:32It was before the new real estate agent edition that just came out without.
- 24:36And I just had called her to find out to think her because I called a couple of
- 24:39realtors and say, how'd you find me?
- 24:40And they'd met her at a conference and they thought it was really cool.
- 24:42And she had said how originally she thought she might be able to double her business this
- 24:46next year, but now she thinks she'll be able to triple her business because of win by
- 24:49noon. And so I called her for feedback.
- 24:51And, you know, she said, I win my day by two.
- 24:54I'm like, all right, well, that's not quite as catchy as win by noon.
- 24:56But I love the fact that she's doing it.
- 24:58She's been in the business for 25 years.
- 24:59And she said for the first time, not every day, but for the first time now most days,
- 25:04she's getting done by two.
- 25:05And then she says she really doesn't know what to do at the end of after two.
- 25:08She could actually go home.
- 25:09She says at two o'clock because she's finally getting everything done.
- 25:12And so, you know, I love the success stories.
- 25:15I love that someone who's been in the business for 25 years, right?
- 25:17Longer than I was in the mortgage business and is willing to implement the changes to
- 25:21try something different to improve their life and improve their business.
- 25:25And that's a good transition.
- 25:26So what do you hope to accomplish then with each of these different additions?
- 25:29You've got a loan officer addition and a real estate addition and tackle whatever one
- 25:33you want first.
- 25:34Well, you know, I just want to help people reach their potential, right?
- 25:36Whatever that potential is, if someone says, hey, I want to be, you know, a $10 million
- 25:40real estate producer or I want to be a $30 million loan officer or $100 million
- 25:44producer as a loan officer, whatever that potential is, you're trying to reach.
- 25:46Let's, let's try to help you get there.
- 25:49The fun thing about it was, and I probably shouldn't have mentioned it before, but it would
- 25:51have been a shameless plug is part of the ways you get your best real estate partners
- 25:54to buy into the fact that you're blocking your time before noon is to share the real
- 25:58estate addition with them and get them, you know, on board with that as well.
- 26:02Because, again, it was just an observation I had with, you know, two big, huge teams.
- 26:06One of them did almost 900 transactions, you know, a couple of years back.
- 26:10And their whole team proactively lead generates every day, nine to noon period.
- 26:14If you're on the team, they're in far west part of Phoenix.
- 26:16If you're on their team, you're going to drive.
- 26:18You live in some hour.
- 26:19You have to be there, button to seat proactively prospecting, you know, for that time frame.
- 26:23And so, you know, my goal is the same with both of them.
- 26:26Ironically, once I created the loan officer addition, because I was a loan officer,
- 26:29and I gave it to friends.
- 26:30I called it the rough draft.
- 26:31The first, first person I talked to, when's the real estate addition coming out?
- 26:33It was on my roadmap.
- 26:34And so we kind of accelerated that and had some great real tours who were kind
- 26:39of enough to test it out and give feedback.
- 26:42But, you know, ultimately, I think it's a great tool for you as a loan officer
- 26:45to introduce to your real estate agents to help them grow their business.
- 26:49And, you know, really, in the end, again, I don't know that everyone's going to adopt it 100%
- 26:53the way that we created it.
- 26:55But if everyone can tell me that they just did a little better each day because of it,
- 26:58then I think it's a big winner for all of us.
- 26:59Okay, cool.
- 27:00So I really see a lot of opportunity for loan officers to, if you know anything about me,
- 27:05I'm a big believer in teaching classes.
- 27:07It's a, you know, leverage activity and adding value to agents.
- 27:10So I see this is a great platform for number one, L.O.'s, right?
- 27:13Apply it yourself, right?
- 27:14Get familiar with it, the content.
- 27:16And then start to offer this as a class, you know, for agents.
- 27:20Do you see that as a viable road?
- 27:22Oh, 100%.
- 27:23I mean, I think you're right.
- 27:24You have to adopt the philosophy yourself.
- 27:26You can't teach something that you're not embracing.
- 27:28So, you know, first off, figure out what version of WinBinune, you know, you can adopt
- 27:33and really hit it out of the park with.
- 27:35And then absolutely, I think it's a great opportunity again, the loan officer Mary
- 27:39I mentioned before.
- 27:41The next time I got a huge group of real tours who ordered it, she runs a mastermind
- 27:45and they all bought the loan officer planner and they were all working off of that last
- 27:49quarter.
- 27:50Now they've all got the real estate agent planner for Q4 and she leads a mastermind with
- 27:54them and they actually all talk through WinBinune together.
- 27:58We've got a PowerPoint that's available.
- 28:00So any loan officer who wants to teach it to real tours, I'm happy to share that with
- 28:04you.
- 28:05We're doing webinars all the time.
- 28:07So if you ever want to jump on one, we do one that's best practices for real estate agents.
- 28:11So you can get on there, watch, learn it alongside of real estate agents who are learning
- 28:15it from me.
- 28:16That's the same PowerPoint that I'll share with you so that you can teach it to them
- 28:20and be the expert yourself.
- 28:21But obviously, if you jump on that webinar, then you can certainly learn how I'm approaching
- 28:25it with them.
- 28:26And then you can swipe and adapt, right?
- 28:28There's nothing that can't be changed in there to adapt to how you believe in what
- 28:32your philosophies are.
- 28:33You say that loan officer has a mastermind with the real estate agents.
- 28:36What form is that?
- 28:37Is that in person?
- 28:38It's an in-person mastermind that she's doing and I haven't got another details on yet.
- 28:43She now are going to be connecting in the next 10 days or so and I'm definitely going
- 28:48to dig in and get more information because I think it'll probably a model that'll work.
- 28:52But I do have other loan officers who've purchased them.
- 28:55We created just for that reason a multipack so that people could buy them in bigger groups
- 29:00and I've got people teaching them in real estate offices.
- 29:02I've been requested to teach it in real estate offices to teams and really just try to figure
- 29:07out what's best to engage and I think a lot of people just do it one-on-one, just sit
- 29:10down with their buddy who's a realtor and teach him or her how to use this to hopefully
- 29:16improve their business because if you can help the realtor improve their business, loan
- 29:20behold, if you're their trusted partner, then guess who's business also just approved.
- 29:23Yeah.
- 29:24And so do you find that most agents are weak in this area of time blocking as well?
- 29:27Well, absolutely.
- 29:28I think that they're oftentimes equally or worse off in this area than we are as loan
- 29:33officers primarily because we still get the benefit of the doubt from clients that we
- 29:38work Monday through Friday.
- 29:39Not all clients think that you certainly have clients who call you at odd times but they
- 29:42kind of still view quote-unquote bankers hours where realtor's unfortunately, I mean they're
- 29:46clients think that they're available 24-7 and so I think for them it's even a bigger
- 29:49challenge, you know, a bigger struggle but they need to do the same things that we need
- 29:52to, they need to be connecting with their database, they need to be connecting with their
- 29:55leads, they need to be connecting with their clients and so these are all the same activities
- 29:59that need to be tracked and so we went through and really talked to the brightest minds
- 30:04in the real estate industry and saw what they were all tracking and came up with the changes
- 30:08to the original wind binding for loan officers to create sort of a custom version for real
- 30:13estate agents that track the most important things in their business.
- 30:16Very cool, very cool.
- 30:17Well, I know I asked you this question, I think when you and I talked before and of course
- 30:21on this podcast I interview a lot of top producers including people like you and one of the things
- 30:26I find consistently is that anybody who's a quote-high achiever but also who's balanced
- 30:32right and where their business doesn't own them and they're not completely reactive and
- 30:36super frazzled and stressed every day, the thing that I find that's consistent through
- 30:40those people that right meet that criteria is the ability to control their day and control
- 30:46their calendar and really manage their activities versus the other way around.
- 30:51And I don't know why it's such a struggle to have people get on that bandwagon, maybe
- 30:55you can shut a little insight on that in the last couple of minutes we have.
- 30:57Yeah, I still think it just comes where what's hard is, right?
- 31:00We're all people pleasers for the most part and we all want to be there and be available
- 31:05and help people and so I love that about all of us, right?
- 31:08I mean, I think that is a general industry.
- 31:10We are people who are here to help and so that's great news for the people that we serve
- 31:16but if we can't be okay with, it's not always, sometimes it has to be a no, never,
- 31:21but you know, if we're okay with saying, no, not at this exact minute,
- 31:25but I can do it in an hour or no, not right now, but I can do it later today.
- 31:29If you can get comfortable with that, then I think you can, you can progress.
- 31:33But I think that for me at least was the biggest challenge and for a lot of people
- 31:36that I talked to is they just really want to be there and make people happy and,
- 31:39and I think you still can.
- 31:40I mean, no one's going to be angry.
- 31:43If you say, gosh, you know what?
- 31:44I can't wait to help you where they get, goes to voicemail and then,
- 31:48but you follow back up and you're there to help them and you serve them at that time.
- 31:51I just think it's that whole idea of, you know, does it really need to be now?
- 31:56And how can you script it better so that you can say, gosh, I'm really sorry.
- 31:59Jeff, I was busy earlier, but I'm so happy to talk to you now.
- 32:02You know, what can I help you with?
- 32:03Right?
- 32:04They're probably going to be happy.
- 32:05They're not going to be angry.
- 32:05I just define that that was the case.
- 32:07Yeah, no, definitely.
- 32:09Okay, cool.
- 32:09So let's do this.
- 32:10Let's spend the last couple of minutes for those listening that want to learn more about
- 32:13what is this wind by noon planner?
- 32:15If you could just, you know, walk us through, how is it intended to be used?
- 32:19Of course, I love talking about that.
- 32:20You know, it's a quarterly planner, right?
- 32:21So quarter four, right?
- 32:22We're recording this as we're heading, wrapping up Q3 of 2017.
- 32:26So Q4 just came out.
- 32:28So every quarter it comes out.
- 32:29Most of the people who've purchased it are using it.
- 32:32They're bought an annual subscription.
- 32:33So they just automatically come out every, every quarter.
- 32:36It's just really designed where you're just being intentional about what your activities.
- 32:39You're going to do to be successful as a loan officer.
- 32:41And so you're just going to set your intentions.
- 32:43It's got a quarter ahead planner.
- 32:44It's got a week ahead planner.
- 32:46So you start macro with kind of the big picture for the quarter.
- 32:48Then you really look at it this week, right?
- 32:50What are my important time blocks?
- 32:51You know, what is it that I'm going to do this week?
- 32:53You know, how many people do I want to reach out to you?
- 32:55How many people do I want to meet with this week?
- 32:57You know, how many leads do I do I intend to get?
- 32:59Do I want to get?
- 33:00Do I need to get because ultimately what happens is as you start tracking.
- 33:04So you're in a basic goal and there's got a page for each day.
- 33:06If you can kind of imagine it's got your calendar for the day.
- 33:09And there it's got my top three activities.
- 33:11It's got what I'm grateful for.
- 33:12Then really just start to track the activities that a loan officer does.
- 33:14Who am I calling?
- 33:15Who am I talking to?
- 33:16Who am I meeting with?
- 33:17And then you're also tracking the results, right?
- 33:18How many leads did I get?
- 33:19How many applications did I get?
- 33:21How many of those applications turned into pre-qualified buyers?
- 33:23And then ultimately, right?
- 33:24Where the money comes in?
- 33:25How many people did I close?
- 33:27And so really start tracking that ultimately.
- 33:29So that over time, you can start determining what your conversion rates are.
- 33:33And learning from your successes and from your failures, right?
- 33:36It has a weekly review in there where you can kind of look at those,
- 33:38those things.
- 33:39But again, what I find is that if you actually know what your numbers are,
- 33:42which is really critical regardless of the business that you're in,
- 33:45is know your numbers because in the end,
- 33:47if you know exactly what activities I need to do today,
- 33:49how many calls do I have to make in order to hit my closing goal at the end of the year?
- 33:53That would be great, right?
- 33:54There's nothing wrong with that.
- 33:54So members of my team who've been doing this for the last few years,
- 33:57they know exactly how many dials they need to make in order to get the number
- 34:00of applications that they need in order to get the number of closings they want.
- 34:03So at the end of the year, they can hit their goals.
- 34:06So really create a planter that will help track that.
- 34:09Also, some personal stuff that we talked about, things like sleep in on time
- 34:13and annual mortgage reviews, things that I think are also extremely important, right?
- 34:17Your morning routine, how did I do?
- 34:18And so I kind of pulled in some stuff that was not necessarily mortgage-related,
- 34:23but life-related that people gave me insight that they would really like to have in the planter.
- 34:26And then, you know, kind of the last thing I would throw out there,
- 34:28some people would go, I don't want to keep my calendar in there.
- 34:30Well, you know, I keep my calendar and I'll look to,
- 34:33I live off of my calendar outlook,
- 34:34but I also actually put it in here so I have a visual of it.
- 34:36And again, that's probably one of the areas where someone says,
- 34:38well, I just only live on my outlook.
- 34:40Calder great.
- 34:40And you can leave that part blank in your book, use it for notes.
- 34:43But ultimately, what I find is, is that when people have embraced the philosophy,
- 34:47start tracking it in here, it's really weird how many people are like,
- 34:49gosh, I never thought I'd go back to paper.
- 34:51Eventually, we will have vision as well.
- 34:53But, you know, the paper piece has kind of, you know, been kind of fun.
- 34:56And so, you know, at the end of the quarter, as people wrap up to it,
- 35:00they'll look at back at their quarter,
- 35:01they'll see where they need improvement, where they want,
- 35:04they'll look at what those total numbers of their business were,
- 35:06what their conversion rates were.
- 35:08And ultimately, in the end, as we get this online community built,
- 35:10we'll be able to compare, if you're a loan officer who works only with real tourism,
- 35:13we'll have a community of people see how those conversion rates look,
- 35:16because that's oftentimes a question I get, what's a good conversion rate?
- 35:19Well, it kind of depends on your business.
- 35:20Do you work with builders, do you work in a real estate office?
- 35:22Do you work with online leads?
- 35:23I mean, those would be all different buckets.
- 35:25And we're going to kind of create this way for people to track it across the country.
- 35:30That'd be kind of fun as well as that gets up probably around the first of the year.
- 35:34Hopefully, that's a good summary of what it does.
- 35:37You've got a copy of it.
- 35:38I mean, what have you seen it do?
- 35:39Well, I mean, I'm just glancing at a page right here,
- 35:42and I'd love the fact that it's really all encompassing.
- 35:45So first of all, I'm a big believer in time blocking and blocking those priority activities.
- 35:49And so you definitely provide a structure for doing that as we had talked about earlier.
- 35:54But then as you get into taking a look at your day,
- 35:58I like the fact that you've got kind of a summary of the day at a glance, right?
- 36:02You've got your time block on the left hand column with your high priority activities by noon.
- 36:06And then you have a nice divider where noon is, right?
- 36:08That's wind by noon, make that clear.
- 36:10And you could even be having a lunch there because I say,
- 36:12hey, we got a lunch schedule with someone, so, right?
- 36:14But what I like too is that it allows you to, at a snapshot,
- 36:18map out your day, like, for instance, on the tops is today's top three.
- 36:21Meet with brandy, right?
- 36:22Meet with someone, so I'm grateful for filling the blanks.
- 36:26So not only are you planning the productive activities of your day,
- 36:30like you've got an activity tracker.
- 36:31How many partner calls did you make?
- 36:33Okay, X marks the spot, right?
- 36:34X, X, X, X.
- 36:36How many lead client calls?
- 36:37How many quality conversations with a space for their names?
- 36:39Who are they?
- 36:41Live meeting spaces here on the page.
- 36:43Today's leads with a name and email referred by and phone number.
- 36:47And then down the bottom of the page, right, is my daily activity goals.
- 36:50How many partner calls do I have as a goal today?
- 36:52How many lead client calls, quality conversations, et cetera, live meetings?
- 36:57Summary of my daily result totals.
- 36:59And then by the, I get to the end of the day, this is what's cool.
- 37:01I get to my wins, right?
- 37:03Did I win on my morning routine?
- 37:04Yeah, check out the box.
- 37:05Did I exercise?
- 37:06Yeah.
- 37:07Was I on time?
- 37:08Today was I proactive circle?
- 37:10Was I proactive or reactive, right, et cetera?
- 37:12And then what are the highs of my day?
- 37:14And it's like a complete, on one single page, right?
- 37:18Day in the life of somebody who's not perfect, but making progress, right?
- 37:22No, I love that.
- 37:23I mean, that's, that's what it is, right?
- 37:24How can I do better today than it yesterday?
- 37:26Yeah, and I love it.
- 37:28And I think the written thing does have some advantages.
- 37:30You know, I'm sure you've heard that whole thing psychologically, right about the,
- 37:33the retention and impact of something right to get down versus looking at a piece of software.
- 37:39But of course, the software is portable.
- 37:40And so that's an advantage there as well.
- 37:42Totally agree.
- 37:42And you know, it's been interesting too, because, you know, I often find now that people are going back
- 37:46and they're, you know, they're able to look at their accomplishments, see who they met with.
- 37:49And, you know, really look and say, you know what, it wasn't a perfect week,
- 37:52but it was a pretty darn good week.
- 37:54I really did accomplish a lot.
- 37:55And, you know, we, we got great feedback on the, on the first edition of this last quarter.
- 38:01And so the, the new edition that just came out adds in a, to do, to call task list.
- 38:06And then a full page of notes for every day.
- 38:08And that was the only other thing where people like, I can't write small enough to fit it all in here.
- 38:11And so, so that was, that was great.
- 38:14And you were listening to gay feedback, really, really appreciate that.
- 38:17And ultimately, you know, it's just a, just a different approach, right?
- 38:21What's, you know, what you're doing isn't working well.
- 38:23Why not try something new?
- 38:24Yeah, speaking of trying something new, before we wrap up, I know you are active involved
- 38:29with our mutual friend, Mr. Dave Savage, and insane productivity, right?
- 38:34So tell people a little bit about that for those you want to have them check you out there as well.
- 38:38Yeah, I love that.
- 38:39Thanks, thanks for talking about it.
- 38:40It's just a work group of people who are trying to become more productive around business.
- 38:44Got a couple of what we call mentors, other people who've been through insane productivity,
- 38:47who happened to also be great mortgage originators, leading great teams.
- 38:51And then we have special guests on there, but really it is a true mastermind.
- 38:54So, you know, today was a perfect example where, you know, we did a recap
- 38:57over the last couple of weeks calls, because we had had pretty some superstar guests
- 39:00on there talking on specific topics.
- 39:03And then we just opened it up to Q&A and had, you know, have people jump in and join us.
- 39:06And so if you're thinking about, you know, listening to all this and saying,
- 39:10it sounds overwhelming, you know, what's a good baby step to take,
- 39:13then maybe jumping in on that, on that webinar would be a good way to learn.
- 39:17And then you can go to Dave's mortgage coach, YouTube channel,
- 39:20and you can see some of the past subjects there.
- 39:24And he's had a really good job of cataloging those,
- 39:25but we would love to have any of your listeners join us there as well.
- 39:28Yeah, absolutely.
- 39:29So I think that's youtube.com, forward slash mortgage coach,
- 39:32or you can just go to YouTube and search mortgage coach and that channel will come up.
- 39:35And definitely one of the places I go to very frequently.
- 39:39And by the way, you said those insane productivity calls are every Friday, right?
- 39:43Every Friday, 9 a.m. Pacific.
- 39:44Okay, cool.
- 39:46And I noticed you've also gotten started with video lately, huh?
- 39:48And so I applaud you for sharing the blooper reel.
- 39:52That was awesome.
- 39:53I really wanted to know more about peanut, the diaper wearing Chihuahua.
- 39:58Yeah, you know, that was awesome.
- 40:00And that was for Darren Harvey's daily, Darren.
- 40:03Yeah, you won that.
- 40:04You know, I did win it.
- 40:05Thanks for your vote.
- 40:06If you voted for me, I was, you know, Darren's a friend and challenged me to put in a video
- 40:12in my marketing guy.
- 40:14I didn't intend to put in my bloopers.
- 40:15You know, you all want people to think you do a perfect job.
- 40:17But nope, there's lots of lots of bloopers.
- 40:20In fact, I had to have him cut it down.
- 40:21It was so long.
- 40:22But yes, I could have a Chihuahua who sadly had to wear diapers.
- 40:25That's super embarrassing for him.
- 40:27And I called him a her on there, which was even more embarrassing.
- 40:30So my daughter totally made fun of me for that too.
- 40:32No, just, you know, what I'm applauding here for you is the willingness to break out of your comfort zone.
- 40:36And so video, is that something new for you to integrate into your business?
- 40:39You know, ironically, when I was a loan officer years and years ago, like early on in video,
- 40:44I was an early adopter.
- 40:45Coach Bill Hart, who was my coach, really pushed me to do video.
- 40:48And I did a video called Two Minutes With Todd.
- 40:50And then everyone told me that it would, that people really liked it and watched it
- 40:53because it wasn't very good.
- 40:55And I was kind of laugh when people said that, but they're like, no, no, it's not that it's not good.
- 40:58It's just that it's you and you're wrong.
- 40:59If you make a mistake, you don't rewind and record.
- 41:02And I didn't have a fancy introduction.
- 41:04I didn't have a fancy, you know, end to it.
- 41:06And so I just tell people, you know, we all look kind of funny on that, right?
- 41:09You know, I realized now I got wrinkles and I realized, you know, one of my eyes opens more than the other one.
- 41:14And just thought, you know, it doesn't really matter.
- 41:15But what I did find when I went to video was that people who would not read an email,
- 41:19I said them would watch it.
- 41:20And so I just did a video and I did a recap of it down below.
- 41:24And certainly would be something I would encourage someone to look to try.
- 41:27If they haven't done it because ultimately what it did was a established trust faster
- 41:31with anyone who saw it because they already felt like the new who I was.
- 41:34Right. Awesome. Yeah. So, so good.
- 41:36Cool. Well, thank you very much for sharing your time.
- 41:38And for those listeners, like I said, we're going to put links in the show notes.
- 41:41The website is winbynoone.com.
- 41:45Any other place you want to give out for them to connect with you?
- 41:48I mean, that's probably a great way to do it.
- 41:49You know, my emails just taught at winbynoone.com.
- 41:52And sadly, since I'm the only person at winbynoone,
- 41:54that my marketing guy, if you call the winbynoone phone number,
- 41:57even if you push zero, one or two for your extension, they all do ring to me.
- 42:02And you may get my voice mail because I am on the phone or I am time blocking
- 42:06in the morning. But certainly happy to connect with any of you who think
