In this episode, I reveal the best business model I’ve seen for mortgage brokers in my 18 years in the industry. This approach stands out because it’s easy for anyone to replicate, regardless of network or special skills. I’ll break down why the real challenge is often the business model itself—not the market—and guide you through the steps to set it up effectively, even if you’re not a sales expert. You’ll learn why the right sequence is key and how this model has delivered extraordinary results for brokers who use it. I was genuinely amazed when I first saw this model in action and knew it had to be shared. Stay tuned until the end for a chance to explore this approach in greater depth and see how it could reshape your business success.
