Commission Breath | For Mortgage Brokers & Loan Officers

Commission Breath | For Mortgage Brokers & Loan Officers

Each week, Commission Breath digs into details of how mortgage brokers & loan officers can scale their business today. Each episode is focussed on being specific with strategies & tactics that work TODAY (not what worked 2, 5, or 10 years ago). Tom & Brandon are in the trenches building their own mortgage business and share what’s working for them. You’ll also hear actionable advice from other top producers in the industry while each interview is built off of 1 specific topic, resulting in the listener taking away something they can implement in their business right away.
