A few days ago, I read a book about FedEx. According to one of the founders,Frank Maguire,"We are not in the 'delivery' business.. but in the business of 'peace of mind'. Our clients' biggest fear was late delivery". That's the difference betweenFedEx and some other delivery companies.
When I started my business as a mortgage broker/agent,since I was new, I need to define my strength and tryto find out how to beat the competitions.
You should have heard about the following 4Cs.1)CONSUMER needs and wants2)COST to satisfy consumers 3)CONVENIENCE4)COMMUNICATION.
Here is how I did1)I used my financial back ground(MBA from one of the topcolleges in China 20 years ago) to help my clients to choose a better loan program; Help the planning not just for this purchase, but also future refinance, rental purchase, move up, etc.
2)Tried to help save the most money for the clients.My process flow is one of the best in the industry, somy average cost/time on the average loan is lowso that I can help client to get better rates
3)Most of the refinances signed at clients home
4)All the communications by email. So at least my clientswill have a copy of my promise of the service and the rates.
And the most important thing is the commitment of the rateand the service, you will have a "pece of mind" during the whole process and don't have to worry about not being able to get the rate I promised. And my clients can get the bestrate because of my knowledge about the bond market.
And for my clients, you can submit your survey here.
