Did you know...

 

     One of the reasons people fail in the note business is because they demand far greater results than they can immediately obtain. Avoid this mistake by taking small incremental steps towards what you ultimately want to achieve.

Quote of the Week

 

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

― Eleanor Roosevelt



 President's Corner

       Negotiation is a skill that can be learned like any other and this month I am giving you four tips on negotiating in the Note Business. My second tip is to Prepare and Practice. Keep your eyes open for opportunities to negotiate, and when you see one, step up! Practice negotiating small, everyday things, such as deadlines or overcharges on bills. That way, you’ll be more relaxed at the negotiating table when there’s more at stake. You’ll also feel more confident if you’ve done your homework beforehand. Show up to negotiations prepared for anything, and ask plenty of questions.

       Remember, Success Demands Action! Keep on marketing, it’s going to work! TWITA!

Question of the Week

Q - Hi Jeff,

          Based on what you know about the current market for notes, what would you say the average fee is that a broker should expect to make per note? I've been told its $2500-$4500 depending on the note but I wanted your thoughts.
                                                    ~ Gil
Hi Gil!
          Oh man, I love questions about my note business statistics. So here you go... In my 23 years of brokering notes my average gross commission as of the end of 2013 has been $3,880 gross (less costs) in percentages it has averaged out to 7.76% gross. If I break it down to full purchases VS partial purchases my average commission on full purchases has been $2,276 and my average commission on partial purchases has been $6,929. And 75.6% of my closed transactions have been partial purchases.

          Realistically, what it really comes down to when you are trying to decide on how much you should deduct for yourself is what looks good to you, what is fair, what is your competition offering and how many transaction you would like to close this year. This business is a big numbers game and I personally would rather close 10 transactions at a $2,000 commission each than 1 transaction for $10,000. Hope this helps!
