10:35 Being referable 

12:45 Having a conversion skillset

15:35 Going back to basic disciplines

Takeaways:

There are better days ahead so don’t dwell on the negativity of the current market.

At the end of the day a lot of originators are afraid of letting their families down, of letting themselves down. 

Every loan officer is on a different path in their career. 

There is a difference between following up with leads and converting them to customers. 

If you want to achieve a certain level of success you need to have disciplines that you are proficient at. 

Agents are trusting you to help them get their commission, so you have to be referable. 

There is no room to be sloppy and lazy if you want to be successful.
