Battlecall.com, Affordable Quality Mortgage Training That Helps You Hit The Ground Running
One of the best kept secrets of the mortgage industry is just that—the mortgage industry itself! As anyone new to the business can attest, most company training programs consist of some old leads and a phone book. With the exception of a few large companies, most mortgage broker firms don’t have the time nor the desire to do much more than that. After all, being a loan officer is a sales job and if the person can’t pick up the phone and sell, how can they be expected to get much further than that and actually close a loan. Not to mention that the mortgage business can be big money and the top producers aren’t likely to spill their secrets anytime soon.
There are a number of mortgage training products out there, many mixed or of poor quality. And all too often, very expensive…with yearly subscriptions costing thousands of dollars and success not guaranteed. In recent months, there have been some new entrants to the mortgage training market providing a fresh face and new insight into the industry. One of the most interesting ones out there is a site called Battlecall.com, http://www.battlecall.com run by Rob Lawrence, a mortgage broker of 5 years, now a mortgage trainer. The site has an unusual name, but I think that’s why I like it because it says what we face everyday. Selling mortgages is a daily battle and we have to fight in order to win business. He even calls his members, “mortgage warriors”, I like the sound of that.
The site is stuffed full of over 1,200 sales and marketing resources, downloadable spreadsheets and tools, audio lessons, templates, and more. Rob covers a lot more than just the mortgage business and you’ll find a lot of useful information on real estate investing, equity repositioning and mortgage planning, as well as condo conversions and land deals. After all, if you have the insider knowledge on how the real estate industry works you might as well put it to good use and consider doing some property investing on the side. That’s where Battlecall really shines in putting arcane mortgage knowledge to practical use.
Some people have likened Battlecall.com to the “poor man’s mortgage training kit”, and I would say that that description is not far off. The site offers a lot of what some of the titans out there has but a whole lot more. Plus, it’s affordable for even the greenest new loan officer and the subscription cost won’t break the bank. Battlecall.com seems to be a smaller leaner operation than the big boys and develops new training material as the members request them. In that way, they are much more responsive than some of the bigwigs of the industry out there.
Overall, I’d give Battlecall two thumbs up. There is a tremendous amount of value inside the site and even if you close just 1 extra loan with their help, it’s well worth the investment. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
