Lately I have seen videos with our Green Screen Studio, Better Camera Work than the Selfie from a car, Professional Editing, Southeast signage, Announcing a CRM (SEM started its CRM in 2003), Mobile Applications, etc. Imitation is Flattery.
The problem with Imitation is you have to be able to execute the cool stuff into a monetization strategy. Its similar to those announcing the next new loan program that they may close one this year. Its better for your Employees and Owners to focus on better delivery of the 99% of the products you actually sell.
Imitation reinforces our leadership in innovation and ability to disrupt the status quo. As long as I can remember, the Mortgage Industry in Georgia has been primarily non-risk taking followers that tend to only do what the pack is doing. The 2008-2009 Implode List filled up quickly due to this herd mentality.
I have found this is a dynamic industry. You have to steer daily and innovate monthly to stay fresh and relevant. If you do it well, MLOs, Partners, and Clients all benefit. The scenery is always better from the front of the pack.
You have to work with those that have attained the success you want. Look at your manager’s lifestyle? Have they attained the success you strive for? Are they moving from company to company? If not, how can they show you the way if they can’t find sustainable success? Since 1993, Southeast Mortgage of Georgia, Inc. 25 years of Innovation and Success.
The front of the pack is a better view! Make your move !
