- 3:47Andrew, welcome to the show.
- 3:49Thanks Jeff, thanks for having me on board.
- 3:51It's my pleasure.
- 3:52It's been, I think probably a couple of months coming since getting you on the radar and
- 3:56getting you on the podcast introduced to you by our mutual friend, Tim Davis at Movement
- 4:02Mortgage.
- 4:03I wanted to bring you on today because you're obviously, from when I talked to you last
- 4:08time, I mean, you definitely get it when it comes to digital marketing.
- 4:11And I think you understand the complete landscape of it.
- 4:13And of course, with your kind of focus in the realtor and mortgage space, you understand
- 4:19the unique aspects of that and some of the challenges and opportunities that are faced
- 4:22there.
- 4:23So lead gen digital marketing online, Facebook, right, email, social.
- 4:31What is lead pops and where do you play in helping mortgage professionals generate leads?
- 4:35All right.
- 4:36Cool.
- 4:37Thanks for the intro.
- 4:38I like how you kind of rattled off a whole bunch of things.
- 4:41Really social media, email marketing, traditional marketing, I mean, it's all kind of intertwined.
- 4:49A lot of loan officers kind of tend to think they're these like separate kind of compartmentalized
- 4:53pieces of their business and they kind of treat them all separately, but they're all
- 4:58meant to kind of work together.
- 4:59They all fuel each other.
- 5:01And it's really important though to get results is it's understanding that you've got to have
- 5:05a foundation first that's going to capture leads and that's actually going to convert all
- 5:10this activity and all this like exposure that you're trying to create for yourself.
- 5:14And when people find you, you know, when they find you online, whether it's from a social
- 5:17media post, a blog post, an email blast that you do, you know, direct mail or that you send
- 5:24out.
- 5:25Whereas, you know, you hope the phone rings, but these days, people don't call the way
- 5:29they used to.
- 5:30And when you're having a website on, there's going to be crucial.
- 5:32But not if that website just is kind of like a black hole where people just go on to
- 5:37it, they read a bunch of stuff and there's some calculators to play around with and maybe
- 5:40a loan application and that's all there is to it.
- 5:43There's really no point of conversion.
- 5:45And when I say that, I don't mean like a contact me form, but understanding that there
- 5:49is like, there are ways to create these mouse traps and like little booby traps that you
- 5:52can kind of plant throughout your marketing, throughout your websites, throughout your landing
- 5:55pages, your blog posts, your emails, everything that you're doing.
- 5:58You can drive people back to these powerful engagement tools that are built to take an
- 6:03anonymous visitor and kind of coax them out of the dark and persuade them to provide
- 6:08you with some information, like the key pieces of information that you need, like a name,
- 6:12email and phone number, but understanding that you can't go for the jugular and approach
- 6:16people the wrong way and just ask for it right up front and make it all about you,
- 6:20you know, creating a smart kind of dynamic needs assessment and asking for the information
- 6:25in a way that's kind of enticing and kind of fun for people to interact with, makes
- 6:30all the difference in the world.
- 6:32Yeah, no, that's a good setup and so as the loan, you know, putting on my loan officer
- 6:36hat, right, we're going to break this down a little bit because if I try and step into
- 6:40the L.O. shoes, you know, what I hear sounds like a lot.
- 6:43And so let's start with when you meet with, you know, most loan officers, be it companies
- 6:50or whatnot because I know you work with both, where do you typically find them on the,
- 6:55you know, on the spectrum of that whole digital roadmap that just, you just laid out a lot
- 7:02of them are.
- 7:03That's a great question, you know, in terms of what's their starting point where we begin
- 7:08our kind of engagement process, most are at the stage where they're kind of dabbling
- 7:13in different marketing.
- 7:14They've tried, they've tried different things.
- 7:16They've had a website oftentimes.
- 7:18That's just typically it's never worked for them.
- 7:20They've switched from one website provider to another in many cases and none of them
- 7:24ever does anything.
- 7:25And they don't really understand why or they're at a point where they just don't believe
- 7:28that a website really can produce business, so they've kind of given up on that idea.
- 7:32And then they're kind of, a lot of times they're chasing like the next shiny object or
- 7:35a company that's like promoting, oh, you've got to do social media or, oh, you've got
- 7:38to start getting into the blogging and they dabble or they kind of dip their toe in
- 7:43all this stuff, but they've never set the right foundation to, to generate leads or
- 7:47to convert leads.
- 7:48So none of it's going to work.
- 7:50It's all, they're kind of setting themselves up for failure and they're not giving themselves
- 7:53a real opportunity to even see if any of that's going to work because it's like they're
- 7:58pouring water into a bucket and it's full of holes and nobody ever stopped to kind of
- 8:02point them and show them down at the bottom of that bucket.
- 8:04There's no way it's going to fill up, you know, for that stuff to work, you've got to
- 8:07optimize to convert leads.
- 8:09It's called conversion optimization, which is kind of a fancy phrase for making sure that
- 8:14everything you're doing is built to capture and convert.
- 8:17Otherwise, you know, you just get a whole bunch of lost opportunities, a bunch of clicks
- 8:21that don't turn into anything and you can't really do business with clicks.
- 8:24You can't refinance a click.
- 8:25You can't refer a click to a realtor.
- 8:28You know, you got to convert these people into actual leads and qualified exclusive leads.
- 8:33Otherwise, don't really get much out of all these efforts.
- 8:34Okay.
- 8:35So what is the foundation then?
- 8:36You talked about, right?
- 8:37They dabble in all these things and blogging and all that.
- 8:40So what's the foundation?
- 8:41Where do they need to start before they start identifying those various channels?
- 8:45You start with identifying what your target client is, who you're trying to get in front
- 8:50of your ideal kind of customer persona and, you know, what are their wants?
- 8:55Who is this person, age range, you know, demographics, details like how much money do they make?
- 9:02What kind of card do they drive?
- 9:03You know, just this ideal kind of customer that this offer or this information you're putting
- 9:08out, there's kind of geared towards and then work in your way towards that and driving
- 9:14these people with a call to action and not just leaving it up to chance that, oh, they're
- 9:18going to really just like this content I'm putting out there, like my videos are so good
- 9:22or my blog posts or my, you know, articles are so good that they're just going to reach
- 9:26out because I just keep putting this good information out and when they're ready, they're going
- 9:29to call me, understanding that you can take a more proactive approach along with putting
- 9:34out good valuable information, really providing a call to action and a reason and an easy way
- 9:41for them to interact and provide you with their info.
- 9:45So if they don't pick up the phone and call or they're not ready to jump into a loan application,
- 9:49having an endpoint that you can drive them into strategically that does the job of collecting
- 9:53their information in kind of a real fun interactive way, the same way that all these big
- 9:59mega lead generation companies that are kind of stealing leads from loan officers and selling
- 10:03them back to them have figured out how to do and just taking those same formulas that
- 10:08these big companies have spent the last, you know, a couple decades, some of them engineering
- 10:13and using those same strategies for yourself. So you can as a loan officer or as a mortgage
- 10:17broker, you can generate your own exclusive leads from the marketing that you're doing. You don't
- 10:21need to have a million dollar marketing budget, but you've got to have the same tools and technology
- 10:26if you want to go out and play on the same field as some of these big companies that are billion
- 10:29dollar lead generators, but, you know, without it's just like you're going to sit on the sidelines
- 10:34and you're going to lose out on opportunities and people that find you end up slipping through
- 10:38the cracks and they go elsewhere, they click off of your website or your landing page or your
- 10:42email and they get sucked into like lending tree or Zillow and you end up losing a lead or
- 10:47buying a lead you could have generated yourself just because you didn't have the right
- 10:50capture systems in place. Yeah, so there's a lot of good info in there and I'm trying to think,
- 10:55you know, I mean, there's a variety of different directions we can go in this conversation,
- 10:58we can go, you know, technology, how's it done, what are the bells and whistles and all that stuff
- 11:02and I think we'll get there, but I want to make sure we're setting this up properly because,
- 11:06you know, you mentioned that I think you used the word dabble and I know I see this quite often
- 11:11and what would you say, I know I see this so oftentimes the biggest, I think, damage that
- 11:17loan officers due to themselves is by dabbling if you will or just by not making a commitment.
- 11:23So what I mean by that is if you're going to blog or do video or get social, you've got to make
- 11:29sure that you do it consistently, develop a strategy and a plan versus I'm going to do one here,
- 11:34three weeks go by, do one here, I didn't get to it. That is very damaging. Would you agree to
- 11:41the results and momentum and kind of brand that you're building digitally?
- 11:45Yeah, absolutely. It's like sabotaging themselves, you know, results, I mean, nothing is easy,
- 11:51you got to build momentum and build consistency and people have to start to see you and trust you
- 11:56before they feel like they're going to do alone with you or refer a friend to you
- 12:01and then, you know, doing that and understanding that you're not going to get instant results in
- 12:05most cases. If you want instant results, you know, buy some leads, but if you're looking to build a
- 12:09machine and a presence for yourself or you're consistently converting and generating your own
- 12:14leads and using those leads not only for yourself, but to also feed to referral partners like real
- 12:20state agents and you can kind of turn the table on that, on that realtor paradigm where the
- 12:24realtors are always given out the leads, but instead, you're generating leads that you can actually
- 12:27share with your partner realtors, you know, building that machine, it takes a little bit of time.
- 12:32I mean, if you're currently doing a whole bunch of marketing or you've been around for a while
- 12:36and your name's out there, it's a lot easy to just plug in some good lead capture and see results
- 12:40very quickly. If your name's out there, you're getting a lot of traffic, people are finding you,
- 12:44you're doing radio ads, mailers, you've got a good email, database that you're marketing to,
- 12:49it's a lot easier to see quick results. You just plug in lead capture and you plug the holes,
- 12:53it's like almost like the air conditioning's blowing and we're just going to run around and
- 12:57like close the windows and like the patio doors been left wide open. We're going to close all that
- 13:00stuff up and all of a sudden you can you can feel the air a lot better. If your air conditioning's not
- 13:04even on, then we've got to, you know, it's going to take a little bit of time. We've got to close up
- 13:07the windows and make sure everything's prepared for lead gen and then we can start really turning on
- 13:12turning on this big air, turning on the AC, whatever you want to call it and then you can expect it
- 13:17to start to see results from it. Otherwise, it's nothing you do is going to just going to show you
- 13:23anything, you know, it's just spinning your wheels. Okay, so let's, let's get down to the ground
- 13:27level for a little bit. Let's maybe give some specifics on how you help plug the holes or how you,
- 13:32you know, turn on the air conditioning for a loan officer, whether it's, you know,
- 13:35begin to generate leads or one of the some of the things you do to help them either generate,
- 13:40because you're teasing the audience, generate your own consumer direct leads,
- 13:45hand them off the referrals, whatever. I mean, that's the holy grail, right? So maybe some actual
- 13:49case studies or whatever, you know, of how you would do that for a loan officer. Yeah, absolutely.
- 13:54So it starts with our, I mean, we've created a product specifically for this. It's called
- 13:58our funnels product and it's, it's a lead generation software that loan officers,
- 14:04realtors, insurance agents can launch very quickly and just literally take these links that we
- 14:11provide that are fully customized and ready to go for a variety of different loan programs and
- 14:15products and real estate lead generation kind of scenarios and start plugging them into marketing
- 14:21that you're already doing. If you've got a website, well, it's the first thing we want to do is
- 14:25optimize that website to convert leads and, you know, there's no better example just to get an
- 14:30idea of what I'm talking about when I say that optimized to convert leads. It sounds kind of like
- 14:34ambiguous, but just look at companies like lending tree, go to their homepage, just see what they're
- 14:40doing when you click on any of their main calls to action from their website, see where they take
- 14:44you, see how they just basically whisk you away from their website onto these fun kind of interactive
- 14:51landing pages. The same kind of thing, lower my bills, who's sold for $330 million to experience
- 14:57a few years back is doing. If you go to lowermybills.com, big call to action right on the homepage,
- 15:02they've got a call to action button, click that, see what happens next, you know, just follow the money,
- 15:07see what the biggest companies out there are doing and kind of understand that it's all about the
- 15:12strategy of how they take the person that finds them and they pull them into these interactive kind
- 15:17of fun questionnaires, these kind of surveys that ask for information, but they do it in a way
- 15:22that doesn't scare you off. They don't make you feel like it's a loan application. They don't ask you
- 15:25for your personal information right up front. They deliver the questions in kind of a fun dynamic way
- 15:30where it's not like you got 20 fill in the blank questions in the big daunting form that's going
- 15:34to scare you off. And before you know it, you're kind of sucked into this whole thing, you're committed,
- 15:38and then at the end when they ask you for that information, you're a lot more likely to convert into
- 15:42a lead and provide accurate information than you would be if the first thing they asked you for
- 15:46was all your contact info right up front. Yeah, exactly. All right, so lowermybills.com,
- 15:51great example. I'm on the site and I get what you mean by they take you through it. It's essentially
- 15:55a kind of a buyer's journey, you know, some questions and quizzes that are that are interactive and fun
- 16:00and not intrusive. All right, so let's move one step before that. So I've got the great website,
- 16:06I've got the whole process for once I get somebody I get an eyeball right to my page. Let's go
- 16:13before that. I still need to get traffic. So how do I get traffic to my site as a loan officer?
- 16:19Sure, great question. I always suggest for LOS to get an idea of what they've currently got.
- 16:25Just to understand that hey, you might already have a little bit of traffic come into that site,
- 16:29you know, looking at your Google Analytics or looking at any kind of traffic measurement tool you
- 16:34might have installed on this site. Just to get an idea if there's anything already coming through
- 16:37because it's always interesting that a lot of LOS just kind of tend to think that all my website
- 16:42it doesn't really get anything to it. You know, I don't get any leads out of it. I don't really
- 16:46promote it that way. That's that's not what I use my website for is I get that a lot. But when you
- 16:50kind of peel back the curtain and you start to look at the traffic and you see, wow, you've gotten
- 16:54700 visitors per month over the last 90 days on average 700 visitors a month. It's not just
- 16:59spam, you know, China traffic. These are real people finding you. You actually happen to be doing
- 17:03okay in Google already. You've got some local key phrases you're placing for and the reason you
- 17:09didn't really know about it or pay attention to it is because people just come click and they don't
- 17:13convert. So, so, you know, because there's a lot of different ways to get people to the site.
- 17:18There's search engine optimization, organic, there's local SEO, there's paper click advertising,
- 17:24there's social media, there's blogging, email blasts, traditional marketing, radio ads,
- 17:31all of that stuff that's kind of well, yeah, I'm just listing off types of marketing you can do.
- 17:35I mean, all of it works together. And most people that are looking looking for you online,
- 17:40they're going to end up on your website. So, if you're in L.O. and you don't have a website,
- 17:44you've just got like your pay backing off the corporate loan officer page they've set you up with.
- 17:49I mean, that would be the first thing you want to do is build your own site. If you can,
- 17:53optimize that site to convert leads, the quickest, least expensive way you can start driving traffic
- 17:59is social media marketing targeting, you know, specific niches and audience types. And then
- 18:05driving those people, though, into the correct landing page or the correct kind of funnel that
- 18:10coincides or corresponds with the targeting and the ads that you're running and making sure that
- 18:14there's a strong message message match from the very beginning of the offer. When you first
- 18:20presented your ad, your image, your ad copy, and all of it being very cohesive and aligning as
- 18:26they click through from that ad or from that email blast or from the blog post, whatever it might
- 18:30be that you're putting out there and driving them now into a landing page or a capture funnel
- 18:35that really matches very well with the messaging and the images and the colors. It all needs to be
- 18:40very cohesive. It's called ad scent. And those clients are kind of sniffing around on the internet.
- 18:44They're going to follow that ad scent. And as they kind of follow and track that scent, the better in
- 18:49line it is with what they clicked on in the first place, what caught their attention in the first
- 18:53place, the better your conversion rates are going to be. Yeah, absolutely. It's the same type of
- 18:58experience we have as consumers. We know when we've got a lousy user experience and a good one,
- 19:03the good one usually takes us to that end result, which is to, you know, click purchase buy,
- 19:07enroll, sign up, whatever. And when it's a bad experience, we don't, we leave. And the same
- 19:12things happening if you're generating some kind of traffic to your site. But you mentioned something
- 19:18that I want to, we've probably talking to a couple different types of people in the listening
- 19:22audience here. You talked about if all you've got is your corporate website web page, which is
- 19:26basically a static brochure page. And so we've definitely got some listeners in that group. Then
- 19:30we probably have some listeners in, you know, the group that maybe has some more freedom, right?
- 19:34Maybe some brokers or whatnot where they're not necessarily, you know, don't have the compliance
- 19:38handcuffs on them. And you said the quickest, cheapest way to start generating traffic is through
- 19:43social media marketing. So I want to maybe with the context of how I just set that up, right? We've
- 19:50got you know, and touching on each of these audiences, would you, would you change your directive
- 19:57or your, your, you know, response to what you would suggest listeners do based on the context
- 20:02other situation, if that makes sense? Well, sure. I mean, if you, if you're on L.O., that's,
- 20:07that's kind of limited in launching, say, your own website. And, you know, you kind of, a lot of
- 20:12them do stuff kind of under the radar or just, you know, they, they're not a lot of have their own
- 20:16website, but they do some different marketing and they've got different pages and different things
- 20:19that they run or they, they can kind of market that maybe aren't. So on the radar, I'm not encouraging
- 20:25anybody to break the rules or, or get in trouble with their compliance. But, you know, there's,
- 20:30there's different rules with every company and just kind of I'd say, see what you can and can't do
- 20:33and see how far you can push it without getting fine or getting anybody in trouble. And if, you know,
- 20:37this is your business and if you want to kind of take control of your own lead gen, you know,
- 20:41understanding that, hey, you've got to do some things that are outside of the box and stuff that
- 20:45other L.O.'s and the company aren't doing isn't necessarily because it doesn't work. They just,
- 20:48they don't know about this kind of stuff. So, you know, if you're turning on social media, let's just
- 20:54say, either way, if you've got a website or not, your homepage isn't necessarily where you're going
- 20:59to drive people, though having a good website homepage is always going to be, it's like the hub
- 21:04of everything. So if I don't, you know, let's just say the main place you're going to want to drive
- 21:09social media traffic to or blog traffic or email traffic to is going to be a landing page that's
- 21:13built to match the ad copy. So let's just say it's a VA ad that you're running for, you know,
- 21:19VA loans targeting veterans and military families with a good offer. And the destination you want to
- 21:25drive those clicks to is going to be a VA specific landing page or funnel. That's got messaging
- 21:29that matches the offer that's dedicated to just that topic that doesn't have a whole bunch of
- 21:34navigation and links and information and menus taking them all all over the place to other,
- 21:39other non-relevant information. And, you know, if you don't have a website, that's fine because
- 21:46that landing page that's specific to VA is what you'd be using in that case with whether or not you
- 21:50have a website. Now, the beauty of having a site is let's just say you're converting at a 10%
- 21:55conversion rate would be fantastic. It's great. We've got all kinds of examples of clients that are
- 21:59in that realm and some even higher, some lower, just depending on where their traffic is coming from.
- 22:03But let's just say you're converting at 10%. Well, 90% of those folks are still, they're not turning
- 22:09into anything, right? So what happens a lot of times is they saw your ad, they saw your offer,
- 22:14they got kind of exposed to you, your name, your company. They don't fill out the information
- 22:19right off the bat. They just, they come to your page and then they leave and they go to Google.
- 22:22They want to like research you now. They do, you know, Google search for your name and mortgage
- 22:26loan officers, something along those lines are the name of your company. They want to read some
- 22:30reviews. They want to do some research on your reputation, you know, see if there's anything bad
- 22:35about you in the past or whatever they can find, right? And then they end up on your website
- 22:40or your loan officer page. And that's where that second chance to convert them now that you've
- 22:44maybe built trust. They saw a whole bunch of good, yellow reviews. Now they've clicked from
- 22:47Yelp into your website or your page. Here's another opportunity to drive them into a lead capture
- 22:54mechanism or a landing page or a funnel. And if you don't have that, well, then those,
- 23:00those opportunities kind of a lot of them will end up slipping to their cracks or they'll
- 23:04click into your corporate website. They click on the logo on the homepage and they end up,
- 23:07you know, calling into the, to the corporate office and they get passed off to another loan officer.
- 23:12Whereas hey, if you've got more control of it, you've got your own website. You have more control
- 23:16over all these kind of various scenarios that are just real life, real life stuff that's happening.
- 23:20That you don't really, it's hard to kind of quantify or keep a pulse on that. Oh, this guy came to
- 23:24my page. Then he left and then he circled back around, found me in Google and then he actually
- 23:28converted into a lead for my homepage. Unless I'm asking these specific questions of all my leads,
- 23:32it's hard to kind of follow the trail of how they found me and how they came back to me where they
- 23:36first saw me. You know, so having a website, that's like your hub, but then marketing your specific
- 23:44landing pages and funnels and your various efforts that are geared towards the marketing that you're
- 23:49doing. But again, all of it kind of flowing back to your homepage and your website. Again,
- 23:53it all works very well together. But if you have that, some of those pieces missing,
- 23:57you're not going to have as much of a kind of holistic or all kind of all encompassing
- 24:03approach to your lead gen. You're going to miss some clients here and there and I mean,
- 24:06that's inevitable. You're not going to get everybody. But the more of these kind of holes you can
- 24:10plug and the better you have your system dialed in to capture, convert, retarget people that don't
- 24:16convert, drip on people that convert, but don't answer calls with emails and things like that. These
- 24:23pieces all work very well together to kind of maximize the ROI you get from the money you're spending.
- 24:27Yeah, so if I'm looking at possibly a service like yours, what do I need to start? I mean,
- 24:35do I need a database? Because I know one of the things you do is you'll help actually drive
- 24:40traffic for people if I'm correct. So what do I need to start? Do I need a decent social media
- 24:45presence? Do I need a good database or are you? Do you also generate just cold traffic off of
- 24:49SEO and that can be part of a total solution? Well, we help our clients depending on their scenario
- 24:54figure out what like the best game plan is going to be for each individual person. Some people come
- 24:58to us with a good database they're marketing to, they've got a website already that that's
- 25:03getting some traffic. These are for us. These are like layups. Let me just put some good conversion
- 25:09tools in the right places, do some conversion optimization on your existing site or if your site's
- 25:14kind of a hopeless case and it's hard to work with or it's just so cumbersome. There's so much
- 25:18work to do. Let's replace your site with one that's built from the ground up for lead capture and
- 25:22just put that domain name. You've been marketing on a site that's built for capture. And voila,
- 25:26the leads start coming in like literally the day or the hour in many cases that you go live. And
- 25:32that's again, these are the layups. These are people with a database. They're doing marketing.
- 25:35They've got realtor referrals, doing radio ads, direct mail, blogging, any and or all of that
- 25:41stuff is awesome and it's easy for us to show immediate results. Somebody that's brand new maybe
- 25:47that's got no marketing. Well, they got to have a willingness to put in time and effort into
- 25:52putting their name out there, spending money to build their database. And the ideal person,
- 25:59even in that scenario, will understand that the first thing you've got to do before you go spend
- 26:02money on marketing and talking to realtors and doing all this stuff is you've got to build the
- 26:07right foundation. So get a website that's built to capture and convert leads. If you can't have a
- 26:11website, let's get you into our funnels product and to our landing pages. It's very easy to set
- 26:16these things up. And then we can just start driving traffic based on your ad spend and targeting
- 26:22that you want to do. And really quick is the easiest way to do that as I mentioned at the lowest
- 26:26cost is typically going to be social media marketing. They don't have an email database. We don't
- 26:31have much to work with. So then we've got to do some list building efforts, doing some lead
- 26:35magnets, maybe a 2017 home buyer guide, something they can start to build up your email list.
- 26:41So you can start to market and drip to these people. And from that list that you build, start
- 26:45extracting the more serious prospects from the suspects. Yeah, exactly. A couple quick tips if
- 26:50you wouldn't mind in terms of starting with social media. If I'm a loan officer and okay,
- 26:54I've got a limited budget, but I know I can tap the massive amounts of audience and targeting
- 27:00on Facebook. What would you generally recommend for best practices there?
- 27:05Well, great question because first things first before you just start turning on ads.
- 27:09No, man, we want to go. Just turn it on.
- 27:13See, let's do this. Take a step back and understand that, hey, to get the most out of the ads,
- 27:17to build your edge rank, to get lower cost clicks and relevance for the people you're trying to get
- 27:22in front of, let's build a community page and get some traction on it. Let's get some interactions
- 27:27and some likes. Let's not just come at it from a mortgage angle of, hey, I've got great rights
- 27:32for my loan application, get pre-approved, you know, all this mortgage stuff because that's not
- 27:36that appealing to people. So you're looking for a place for these loan officers to be able to engage
- 27:41and build value like a community like you said versus, you don't want to come out swinging,
- 27:47right? Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.
- 27:49All right, so quick question. Now I'm going to step up my Q&A with you. I'm going to start
- 27:52peppering you because I definitely get what you're saying about the pages and I like that.
- 27:57I see the value of it. What do you say if, okay, like in my town here, Rancho Santa,
- 28:01Margarita, I've already got at least a couple three different community pages. How would you help
- 28:06me in that case? Well, immediately start running offers and ads for relevant loan products and
- 28:13niche products like getting pre-approved for a 1% down program. These work very well, down payment
- 28:20assistance, even though that might not be the ideal kind of borrower someone's looking for,
- 28:25that's not all you're going to get. You're going to get people to raise their hand and show interest
- 28:28in a loan product or program that they might not know about or have even thought about before. So
- 28:34you're offering something that will get the buyers kind of to show themselves that they wouldn't
- 28:39react to if it was just, hey, you know, get pre-approved for a mortgage in a 30 year fixed rate.
- 28:44But offering kind of different niche loan programs and products, sprinkling in offers for
- 28:50exclusive real estate to help them either find their dream home or to get exclusive listings,
- 28:56pocket listings for closures, different things like that where you can start marketing to home buyers.
- 29:01And again, not just taking the mortgage angle, but kind of dabbling in different
- 29:06niches that will work for you. And you just got to test different stuff. I know dabbling isn't
- 29:09the best way to go about like your marketing as a whole. But when it comes to testing and ads
- 29:15and things like that, you do want to kind of experiment and see what's pulling in the best
- 29:18results in every community's a little bit different in the loan products and programs you're
- 29:21promoting are going to vary. So running different ads for different offers, niche products and
- 29:26programs, not just mortgage based, but real estate based as well. And targeting specific demographics
- 29:32and the types of people that'll be a good match for that kind of loan product or program would be
- 29:38a great way to do it. If you've already got a community page that's built up that's got good
- 29:42traffic, good traction on it, then you can start running offers for people that are in that kind
- 29:46of community. And then just running offers and getting folks that that click on an offer into
- 29:51a funnel or a landing page that does the job of collecting the information and delivering that
- 29:57lead exclusively to you. Right. No, that's great info. And so let me ask the question this way. So
- 30:03let's say there's already a community page for Rancho Santa Margarita Irvine, you know, whatever
- 30:08your town, you know, you know, I'm competing obviously for those eyeballs. And so I guess the
- 30:13question is, you know, how many community pages can a town, a city, whatever have? And how can I
- 30:18have a unique angle to that so that it's, you know, so that I can still attract people because if
- 30:23all I do is put up, I don't know, Rancho Santa Margarita too. Right. Who's going to come to that? So
- 30:28obviously, to your point earlier about the community, they just got to be value there. So there is
- 30:32in you, a lot of people are familiar with these community pages, which I think is a great idea.
- 30:35Most loan officers don't do do this at all. So I just, this sheer effect of them may be doing one
- 30:41is enough, but any suggestion on how you would, you know, position it uniquely. Sure. Sure.
- 30:46Well, here's the thing. You wouldn't, I wouldn't recommend that you're, you're just running offers
- 30:49to let's just say you've got 300 or even a thousand likes and followers to your community page.
- 30:54You know, we're not just, we're not targeting only those people. We're wanting to build the page
- 30:59up so that it's relevant. It looks legit. There's interaction. There's posts being done regularly
- 31:04daily, ideally. And then from there, running ads from those pages are offers from those pages for
- 31:11a much larger kind of area, you know, all of Orange County, for example, or anybody that might be
- 31:17interested, but using that, that community page is kind of the catalyst or the springboard for
- 31:22these offers. So it's not just coming from like XYZ mortgage company and that's where we do your ads,
- 31:27you know, doing these offers from that community page and targeting much more than just that
- 31:31community targeting. Anybody that might be interested in buying a home, people that have shown
- 31:35interest in Zillow or Trulia or Realtor.com. How do you know they've shown interest in that?
- 31:41Through targeting and Facebook, you're able to figure out basically stuff that people are
- 31:47interested in, not only that just like demographics and age and those kinds of things, but you can
- 31:51actually pick out pages that they like and strategically kind of look at, okay, what is someone
- 31:56that maybe is in the home purchase process? What kind of page could they could they have recently
- 32:00maybe like maybe a DIY page or different things like that about home improvement, you know,
- 32:05things of that nature. And then if you're targeting people that like Zillow, for example, and
- 32:10they're a likely first time home buyer and they meet those demographics, and you know, you might
- 32:14have a little bit of an angle that you can take that's a little bit different than just targeting
- 32:17the most obvious stuff that people will pick from the drop down list and in the back end of Facebook
- 32:22that everybody is targeting. Now that's some great advice, very unique. All right, so I think I
- 32:27get what you're saying here. I mean, we've got the community page, and this is great because I can
- 32:30build my awareness and brand in a community page, and I'm just getting flooded with ideas here.
- 32:35I can also, you know, ideally, right, this is a community page that's really focused on the
- 32:39community. So I'd want to reach out and invite, which I can do this on my community page, invite
- 32:44other relevant, you know, quote content providers to be part of this community page, local businesses,
- 32:49restaurants, the dry cleaner guy, obviously some agents, perhaps, am I on the right track here?
- 32:54Totally. I'm a big big proponent of getting referral partners involved in your marketing,
- 32:59and you know, even having like a referral partner showcase on your website and kind of
- 33:03keeping it exclusive by breaking them up into maybe different territories or communities.
- 33:07Same thing you can do, like you were just saying, great ideas is getting them involved in your local
- 33:11community page. Maybe one of your posts every week is like a local restaurant that you do like a
- 33:16highlight on where you showcase like a review from Yelp along with, you know, a hashtag and kind of
- 33:22tagging that restaurant in the post, you know, getting more people exposed to it, getting them excited
- 33:27about it, getting them to want to share it on their wall and with their people and their followers,
- 33:32you know, you might only have a couple hundred people, but they might have, you know, a couple thousand.
- 33:35Right. And, you know, you've kind of shown some interest and goodwill in helping them promote
- 33:40their business, and I think that's just all around kind of a good thing to do in general.
- 33:44Okay. So I think now that we get that, we've built that concept of the community page.
- 33:50You also mentioned then running some targeted Facebook ads. And are you saying that you use the
- 33:56Facebook targeting capabilities to see which of the people that are members of your community
- 34:02have interest in those relevant things you mentioned. Like, for instance, have they been to
- 34:07Zillow or as a certain demographic, you know, first time home buyer, that kind of stuff.
- 34:11I would say anybody that's like within a 25 mile range of the area that your community pages in,
- 34:18that could be a first time home buyer. So we're not just targeting the folks in that community.
- 34:21We're targeting anybody that's kind of in, let's just say the orange county area that could be a
- 34:25home buyer, but running, running these ads from that community page within the community page itself.
- 34:30Yes. Okay. Got it. All right. Cool. And then you put them into a funnel and all that. Awesome.
- 34:36Yeah, it's funny. I'm looking here right now on this community page and there's a brand new
- 34:39restaurant that opened up. That's such a great way to add value and build your, build your network.
- 34:44Right? Like you said, who this restaurant? It's it's Dickie's barbecue. These guys are huge.
- 34:48They're a franchise. So, you know, you're just exposing yourself now to these additional
- 34:53business owners who they may have a need for a mortgage or guess what? They probably know
- 34:57somebody who does because their networks likely pretty large. Yeah. Absolutely. And there's who knows
- 35:01what kind of cross marketing you can do down the line, whether it's a catered at an open house or
- 35:06you know, featuring each other on each other's sites or whatever, you know, there's other different
- 35:11kinds outside of the boxways to kind of figure out strategies depending on the referral partner.
- 35:15But it just opens up doors and just hey, goodwill. I'm a big fan of your restaurant. I hear like at
- 35:19least once a month, I'd love to showcase like a little featured spot for you. I do like a featured
- 35:24restaurant every Friday. I was thinking about putting you guys up. How does that sound? Is that
- 35:27cool? I'll tag you in the post. I'll have like a featured review. If there's one in particular,
- 35:31you want me to showcase or if there's an offer or some sort of a coupon or rebate or something,
- 35:35you guys are running that you'd like me to include with that. I'd be more than happy to include that.
- 35:39And even just run, you know, run five or 10 bucks to it and boost it, you know, it's
- 35:45or have them split the cost with you and just say, Hey, if you want, let's just each throw in 10
- 35:49bucks, add an exposure to you, your page, more people like, more people sign up with, you know,
- 35:53goodwill. And again, it's not a big spend. If you did that once a week, that's what 10 bucks a
- 35:58week, once a week, 40 bucks a month on something like that, where you pick a different referral
- 36:02partner to showcase. Maybe tax season's coming up and you do something like that, where you're
- 36:06CPA, right? It's like top 10 things you got to look at possibly writing off if you're a small
- 36:10business owner and targeting specifically small business owner demographics on Facebook with
- 36:15that post, but boosting your referral partner from your community page. Now they're going to take
- 36:19that. They're going to want to take it boost it, share it, possibly send out an email blast to
- 36:23their database with that same content or you can blast it out to your database. Oh my god,
- 36:26my head's going to explode. That is awesome. Those are some brilliant ideas, man. This is an
- 36:32education that we got to send you a check. Seriously, that, that would you just covered right there
- 36:36is like money. That's worth a lot. I'm telling you. So question, where, where do you rank
- 36:42doing the community page versus personal page and business page and how does that play into this
- 36:47whole mix as a loan officer? Perfect. So personal page, I would say, keep that as separate as you can
- 36:51from stuff. I mean, if you're, especially if you're posting personal stuff that shouldn't ever
- 36:55really be exposed. Well, yeah, I should never be posting your drunk Saturday nights and yeah,
- 36:59all your political stuff and all that craziness that sometimes people like over, let's spill over
- 37:05into their business world. Just keep it separate. You know, your, your loan officer page or your
- 37:10mortgage page should be one entity or one, one layer of your Facebook strategy and then having
- 37:16different community pages were different areas that you target that, you know, you don't necessarily
- 37:20use your mortgage company logo on the community page. Maybe it's like a, a symbol of a home or
- 37:26something like that with that like local community, like logo or something like that.
- 37:31And that's, that's the content for that community page and you kind of, you don't necessarily
- 37:36show, right, show, right, that it's a mortgage company running this behind the scenes because
- 37:40you were trying to get, get, get you to do a mortgage with us. But just making it really
- 37:44focused on that community, good, you know, again, restaurants, local businesses, history of the
- 37:49community. That's where you can start to showcase real estate listings, open houses, get your
- 37:54realtors involved in it as well and start running a little bit of a real estate angle to help
- 37:59propel your mortgage business because it's just a whole lot more interest online and people searching
- 38:05for real estate related information than there are people looking for mortgage information.
- 38:09Like if you do a search like a tool I really like to use that just gives you some really cool data
- 38:14in terms of search volume, popular keywords. It's kind of like Google keyword planner but it's
- 38:18a tool that's built off of the data of Google. It's called SEMrush.com and you can put in like a
- 38:25keyword. A great example is like San Diego mortgage. You put that into SEMrush and it'll show you some
- 38:31data on how often it gets typed in. You know, how many results come up for that key phrase and it
- 38:35shows you some like different derivatives and different kind of different keywords that are
- 38:42similar but you know, maybe they get typed in more or less San Diego mortgage as an example.
- 38:46I get typed in an estimated 50 times per month. That's 50, 50 times per month total.
- 38:53It's got like 16 million results coming up for it. Mortgage guys in San Diego, I'll tell you,
- 38:59I talked to them a lot of times or mortgage guys all over the country and they'll be like,
- 39:01oh man, that's just, you know, just put me at the top of Google for something like San Diego mortgage.
- 39:06That's really a whole need, you know, and the SEO guy will sell it to him all day long and be like,
- 39:10look at that, there's 16 million results. We could probably get you to the top. The first page
- 39:14pretty much guaranteed and they fall into this idea just because the results and looking at who's
- 39:19paying to be there on the ads and per click, they think that just without looking at the actual
- 39:24underlying data that something like that's super valuable when reality, it gets typed in 50 times
- 39:30per month. You'd have to be like number one for multiple years to really start to get enough
- 39:35traffic out of that one keyword to convert enough leads to get enough loans for that to actually
- 39:41pay for it, like the cost of getting you to the number one spotter, the first page for something
- 39:46that's really still ultra competitive because it's a mortgage keyword. But then you look at
- 39:50something like San Diego Real Estate, same tool, semrush.com, San Diego Real Estate, that's like
- 39:568100 times per month. So 8100 searches for San Diego Real Estate, 50 searches, San Diego
- 40:05Mortgage. Realistically, I bet you like 25 or 30 of those 50 are probably guys in San Diego that
- 40:11do mortgage trying to see if they come up on the first page of Google or not. Same with the
- 40:15Real Estate, but it's just interesting to see how much more volume you get on Real Estate and
- 40:19that's why the realtors get the leads first, the home buyers as backwards as it is, they go out
- 40:23looking for their dream home, realtors get the leads first and they make the mortgage guys dance
- 40:26or mortgage gals dance for the leads. We want to look at it as how can we get in front of these
- 40:31people before the realtors get a chance to. So we can generate our own consumer direct leads and
- 40:36then share those leads with the realtors. So if we can start to market these realtors listings and
- 40:40help them promote their properties and use those listings as a vehicle to get people into our
- 40:45mortgage pre-approval tools just like Zillow does. If you go look at any real estate listing on Zillow,
- 40:50you're going to see a number of conversion points where they drive you right from that real estate
- 40:54listing into their Zillow long form lead capture. So they use the real estate to catapult people
- 40:58into their Zillow long form and that's just the vehicle that they use to generate their mortgage
- 41:02leads. Well mortgage folks can be doing the exact same thing and then sharing those leads with their
- 41:06realtors. Okay so question on the San Diego real estate keyword term as you said right 8,000
- 41:13searches for that in a given month. How do we though compete on those terms because those are
- 41:18obviously still high value terms and you see who's coming up the top right Zillow realtor.com
- 41:23Julia Redfin. So how can a loan officer compete on that? Great question. Okay so a couple things.
- 41:29One, I paint that picture just to help always kind of understand the state of what people
- 41:37are looking for online. It's just first off just getting a grasp of okay there's going to be
- 41:41a lot more activity on the real estate angle. Doesn't mean that you're going to come up now number
- 41:45one or you have a chance of targeting you know real estate organically real estate related key
- 41:50phrases. It's more just getting understanding of the fact that you got like a hundred times the
- 41:54amount of people looking for real estate than there are people looking for mortgage and then you can
- 41:57start to think and look at what are some different ways that knowing that people are a lot more
- 42:01interested in real estate than mortgage. What are some different ways that can position myself as a
- 42:05mortgage originator to get in front of those kinds of eyeballs. So again doing doing real estate
- 42:11marketing for a single property sites that they have to be optimized to convert leads you know a lot
- 42:17I see a lot of sites out there. It's just like hoping a wish that the person's going to actually
- 42:22like that listing. There's no actual other way to effectively convert that buyer into a
- 42:27lead if they don't like the property. You know a lot of broken lead capture and broken contact forms
- 42:31that just aren't optimized to convert that I see littered all over these single property sites. So
- 42:36you can do a single property site you got to optimize it to convert leads but that's a great way to
- 42:39market real estate listings while partnering with your realtors and using their listings as a vehicle
- 42:44to generate buyer leads for yourself that you can then share with your realtors. And then also
- 42:48looking at okay so if I do some searches locally and I start identifying communities that I'm
- 42:53interested in targeting and I find myself the realtors. Let's forget about the zilos and the
- 42:57trulias and all these big entities that we're not going to do much with. They're going to just ask
- 43:01us to pay of course for marketing on those sites but looking at what are some of the actual organic
- 43:07listings and the other paid listings that are just like actual realtors and agents in the area
- 43:13that are paying because the cost per click on something like San Diego mortgage rates for example
- 43:19it's like 8 10 12 bucks a click 20 bucks a click for refinance keywords then you look at like
- 43:25San Diego real estate it's like two bucks a click $1.50 $3 a lot more volume a lot less cost per click
- 43:32so it's doable for agents to target these kinds of key phrases it's not out of the realm of
- 43:39their budget whereas mortgage key phrases a lot of times it's just a lot of the big boys you can
- 43:43compete and you can get there but it's going to be pretty expensive going after key phrases that
- 43:47don't even get typed in that often but when you look at these realtor sites and looking at
- 43:51okay so how can maybe I partner up with these realtors and what I love to do is just to find some
- 43:57of the current agents you're working with and if those agents aren't that good or if you're
- 44:01just you want to expand beyond your current realtor database and look at new agent opportunities
- 44:05do some recon work take a look at their websites I can't tell you how often I look at a
- 44:10realtor website with a loan officer we just start laughing because we're not laughing at the
- 44:14realtor we're just laughing at the mess that we find when you start to look at for example
- 44:20the realtors got a featured mortgage section on their site it's called like mortgage center
- 44:23you click on this it's like one of the main tabs on their site I guess who freaking snuck into
- 44:28that mortgage center you got like this little widget for Zillow that hijacks their traffic and you
- 44:33click into their mortgage center and Zillow basically gives out these free widgets that just hijack
- 44:38realtor traffic realtors don't even know about it in most cases are all cool free little calculator
- 44:42from Zillow I'm going to put it on my mortgage center and you click on that mortgage calculator
- 44:46the second you click on it it's buy by a realtor and now you're sitting on Zillow's mortgage
- 44:51rate table so they give these widgets out for free and then they steal your traffic and they back
- 44:56linked to Zillow so they now are also beating you out for your search engine placement because they've
- 45:01got mortgage and real estate related key phrases tied into these links that then take you off of
- 45:06your website back to Zillow you don't get paid for the click you don't get paid for the lead you're
- 45:11paying Zillow a lot of times or a website provider that sometimes even has relationships with some
- 45:16of these companies where they build the stuff just right into their websites because they've got
- 45:20like an affiliate deal where any clicks we drive we've got you know 10,000 realtors use our system
- 45:24so every one of these sites just by default has a mortgage section that by default links to Zillow
- 45:29or mortgage 101.com or any of these like lead generation entities and for them it's great because
- 45:34now they've got 10,000 real estate websites that are pointing back to them helping their search
- 45:38engine rankings and driving free traffic. I take a look at that and how could we fix that for
- 45:43you Mr. Realtor? Let's remove that widget that's hijacking your traffic and let's stick a lead
- 45:47generation funnel the same kind of funnel that lending tree and lower my bills and Zillow and
- 45:51Trulia are using but we're going to generate that lead for you and I together and we're going to
- 45:56supply you with that landing page you know whether you break down the landing page on a per landing
- 46:00page deal or however you want to deal you know the cost and the rest but all that to make sure
- 46:04you're compliant but just being able to offer good solid lead generation tools and strategies
- 46:09and education to your realtors and a way to help them build their business so you can actually
- 46:13piggyback off of their marketing help them get more leads share on the leads with the realtors
- 46:18and angle yourself where you're being able to take advantage of the fact that there's a lot more
- 46:22interest in real estate simply by getting yourself linked up to more realtor sites that are getting
- 46:26good traffic and you can just do searches locally for you know Irvine real estate Irvine homes
- 46:31for sale ranchers Hannah Margarita homes for sale real estate condos whatever the key phrase might
- 46:35be you can just go down the list to Google and find the people that are already on the first page
