Marketing Tips for Mortgage Brokers of FHA Streamline Refinances
The best way to market FHA streamline refinances is to make a client understand what he stands to gain by taking it as well as what he could lose if he opts for another kind of loan.
What is FHA Streamline Refinancing
The best way to think of FHA streamline refinancing is as a shortcut to taking out a better mortgage overall. People who qualify for a FHA streamline refinance loan can get their current interest rate lowered right away and usually without even having their home subjected to a lengthy appraisal first. With FHA streamline refinancing, clients will also have lesser paperwork to deal with, something that many clients have reason to be thankful of.
In explaining what FHA streamline refinancing is to your client, try retracing the steps for taking out a mortgage. Highlight the tasks that are not just time-consuming but costly as well, tasks that will be immediately removed from the equation if they pass for FHA streamline refinancing.
Who Can Apply for FHA Streamline Refinancing
Unfortunately, not everyone is qualified to obtain FHA streamline refinancing. Firstly, the client's original or first home loan must have been provided by the FHA. In view of this, you should take the initiative of contacting old clients whom you've helped secure a FHA loan on their homes. They might not know they're in need of FHA streamline refinancing or what they stand to gain from it, but thankfully, you're here to enlighten them.
Another requirement is that your FHA loan must be of good standing. Your payment history should only reflective positive behavior from you.
How Can People Benefit from FHA Streamline Refinancing
One thing you should let your clients know is that FHA streamline refinancing doesn't offer them a cash-back option. Simply put, FHA streamline refinancing is only used to help them reduce their monthly interest expenses. From there, clients will be able to receive extra money and put it to better use.
You have to make this clear to your clients as FHA streamline refinancing is truly not ideal for all mortgage takers. If you believe that a client is in greater need of a cash-out refinancing loan rather than streamline refinancing, it is your responsibility to steer your client to the right direction.
Having an original home loan that is an FHA loan with a good status is a must to qualify for a streamlined refinance. Also, the payments of your monthly interest must be lowered by the refinance. Although there is no option to receive cash back, it's good to know that this refinancing option can reduce your monthly expenses. If you are someone with a good financial standing and you don't have any significant debt, this will work well for you as it allows you to get some monthly extra money that you can use on other ventures.
To end on a lighter note, those who do qualify for and will benefit from FHA streamline refinancing can also look forward to include closing costs in the total loan amount of FHA streamline refinance.
The Final Marketing Touches for FHA Streamline Refinancing
FHA streamline refinancing is ideal for people with little need for a huge amount of money but can benefit greatly from lowered monthly expenses. As a mortgage broker, it's your job to make them see what you're seeing. Do that and it's impossible for any of your clients to refuse taking out a FA streamline refinance loan!

Lead Generation = Dollar Creation by Mark Tewart
All businesses are built on two areas of competency - people skills and marketing skills. Many sales people who are more than adequate in their sales and people skills are struggling today. The reason is most sales people lack enough opportunities with customers. Lead generation = dollar creation
As a sales person you are in business for yourself. Having a mentality of being the CEO of your company is crucial to developing your business. The dealership signs your check, and you fill in the numbers.
You have a better opportunity than ever to be successful. The key to your long-term success as a sales person is the creation of a dynamite marketing strategy that dealers overlook and most sales people are too lazy to do.
Your first step is to create a marketing web. Take a sheet of paper and list every way that you receive customers. The first two ways you probably listed were from walk-ins and phone prospects. These are produced by the dealership and are therefore the ones over which you have no control. Begin to control your destiny and think of ways to produce customers from other resources.
What other sources of leads did you list? Here are some suggestions: referrals, service drive, service tickets, be-backs, affiliations, repeats, targeted phone calling, database marketing, targeted list mailings, orphan owners, lost customer marketing, coupon swaps, joint-venture advertising, community board flyer, door-to-door flyers, Web site and many more.
For each source at least one strategy of creating leads should be chosen. If you execute one strategy a day on 10 ways to create leads, your leads will grow exponentially over time. Your business will hit a period of critical mass and explode.
At that point, a sales person has the best job in the dealership. Your pay, hours, stress and job security will be better than the managers'. Your risk will be zero, your investment minimal and most everything is supplied for you.
Why don't more sales people take this road of action to success? Usually, it's a lack of buy-in. If you haven't begun to create a business of your own, it's because your belief system doesn't buy into the idea of a self-created destiny in sales. Either you have "Manageritis", don't believe you will be selling vehicles for a career, don't believe you will be at your current dealership in the future, don't believe it can be done or you're lazy. The truth sucks sometimes.
Success and failure are all about belief systems and habits. You have to believe and live it everyday for it to work. Speaker and business philosopher Jim Rohn once was asked if you had to take successful actions everyday to be successful and he replied, "Only on the days you want to be successful." Actually, if you only take successful actions every once in a while, you can't even be successful on those once-in-a-while days. It takes sustained effort.
If you begin to execute a strategy of marketing and don't have immediate success, you can't quit. It's easier to say something doesn't work than it is to use the lack of success as a path to figuring out successful actions. Marketing in itself is a series of miscalculations to figure out what works. The greatest marketers of all time have failed more than they have been right. To great marketers, all failures are just tests on the road to figuring out the right formula.
As a small marketer in the Internet age, you can appear to be bigger and more successful than you really are. You can create a successful brand. You can be more agile and target more than larger businesses such as dealerships can do with traditional advertising. The over-hyped, over-competitive marketplace is perfect for the dedicated and creative sales person of today.

5 Law Firm Marketing Tips to Turn Prospects into Clients
By: stephen fairley
Attorneys are famous for wasting their time following up on bad leads. These are prospects who are not a good fit or who are not likely to hire your law firm. Another big mistake lawyers make is targeting the wrong market, usually too large of a market. What percentage of the people you follow up with come to your office for an official interview? And of those, how many actually sign on as clients?
Successful law firm marketing includes determining which people and businesses are not currently interested in your service and which are just not good prospects. Remove these dead ends from your contact lists and don't waste your time trying to win them over.
You probably have a very low percentage of prospects turned clients. And with the limited hours in your day to get everything done, you simply can't afford to waste this kind of time! These 5 simple steps will help you turn more prospects into clients. Incorporate these into your law firm marketing strategy and watch your conversion rate grow.
1. Separate Your Contacts from Your Prospects
Learn to identify people who are genuinely interested versus those who simply are not saying "no" out of politeness. Listen for the signals that distinguish a real prospect from someone who is simply price shopping or worse (using you to obtain a lower fee from another lawyer).
Create a list of questions to disqualify contacts focusing on the criteria of "need, want, afford." Remove those contacts who don't meet these qualifications, and focus your energy on solid prospects.
2. Interview Your Qualified Prospects Directly.
Are you consistently talking directly to your prospects (versus their gatekeepers and time-wasters) and pitching them your services? What's your closing ratio? What percentage of people come to the interview versus become clients? Make sure you are speaking to the real decision-maker.
3. Strengthen Your Presentation Skills
Improving your presentation skills will go a long way toward winning over new clients. Strengthen your phone skills and develop better phone scripts. Learn to recognize "buy questions." Be prepared to ask for the sale at the end of the presentation. Take a presentation skills seminar and focus on benefits and results more than services and features. Work harder at identifying your target's points of pain and using them clearly and consistently to demonstrate the value of your services. Become more fluent at speaking their language. Develop a list of critical questions to ask prospects you present to. Don't talk as much: listen more.
4. Give Prospects a Call to Action
After an interview, do you actually ask your prospect to commit to the sale? How soon do you follow up with people after the interview? What do you send them to encourage them to buy from you versus the competitor and buy from you now versus waiting?
Make sure each prospect receives one clear call to action. Make it easy for them to follow. Ask for their business!
5. Follow Up After Your Presentation
Follow up with a thank you letter or e-mail within 24 hours of the interview. Be sure to end every interview with action steps (e.g., what each party agrees to do as next steps and when they will do it by). If you agree to do something, be sure to do it before the deadline. (This may be a way they are testing you to see if you will respond to their needs). If you are a business lawyer, have a process for writing successful proposals. Immediately set a reminder to yourself to contact the hot prospect in a timely manner.
