Mortgage Broker Marketing: What's Wrong with Your Marketing Materials
Many times mortgage broker marketing materials fail because of some simple mistakes. The most common errors found in materials include:Feature-Focused – The content of the message is focused on you, not the prospect. For example, companies often promote their years of experience in their literature, “We have over 25 years of experience.” This doesn’t do anything for the reader. Your messages m

uct, and will demonstrate to the prospect that you care about their needs.

2. Tell them just enough about your product or service so they will begin understanding how your product could benefit them – resist the urge to vomit information on them, and don't talk about yourself! Unless they ask, they usually don't really care about you.

3. Close the sale by putting their needs together with your product. (What I do is demonstrate my coaching by coaching the prospect around the issues they mentioned to me, demonstrating value. I then summarize what we could work on together and how they would b

Your sales meeting could be a free consultation, in person or by telephone, a demonstration, or it could be in your store. It could be long or short. The big question is: Who controls the meeting?

Customer service is hugely important, and it starts with the sales meeting. You are the expert in your industry and the expert regarding your specific product/service. If you allow the prospect to do all the talking and ask all the questions, you lose the opportunity to show the prospect how well your product will fulfill their needs and solve their problems.

You are not doing your potential customer any favors by allowing them to take control. Also, when you come to the meeting with an agenda you look very professional and organized.

You can have several intentions with your agenda, but the main one should be to get the sale! For me, since I so enjoy my fr'ee consultations, I have to additionally use my agenda to keep me on track so I keep the length of the meeting reasonable.

On your agenda, you should have open-ended questions. These questions do not have a "yes" or "no" or other such specific answer. Examples of open ended questions include:

- What is it you most want?
- Would you please tell me about _______?
- What problem are you currently experiencing with your ______
- How are you currently handling this problem?
- If you could change something about your ________, what would it be?
- How do you think I could help you?

Then, if you want more information or if you sense there is something more to what they have already told you, you can ask:

- Could you please tell me more about that?
- Anything else?

The most important skill you will need to be a great salesperson is LISTENING. The prospect will list for you all their selling points – all the reasons they need your product. Many people need to be heard. If you really listen, you may get the sale based solely on this ability. Also, you may have heard that you should only talk 20 percent of the time, but I think this depends on your product or service. For coaches and consultants, the prospect often wants to hear us talk – they are getting fr'ee advice they would otherwise have to pay for! Just do not over-do it.

Here is an example of a basic sales meeting agenda:

1. Ask open-ended questions that will give you the information you need to sell them your product, and will demonstrate to the prospect that you care about their needs.
