Quote of the Week

 

Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence, and the downward spiral begins. 

                                                        ― Charles Stanley 


President's Corner

       Are you getting note holders to contact you but few callbacks? Chances are you have great skills, but you might be missing that extra oomph to help you stand out from your competitors. The truth is one of the most coveted skills among note professionals is—you guessed it—communication. In other words, communication skills can make or break you. I will give you a couple of tips over the next few weeks for you to consider, here are the first two:

1. Speak with an enthusiastic, assertive tone. Are you a low talker? Practice speaking up and out. Muttering under your breath is a sign of low confidence. All of your responses should be clear and self-assured. Keep your chin up (physically).

2. Don't beat around the bush. Give a direct answer when asked any question. If you need a second to think about it, that's OK—but don't dawdle with words like "kind of" or "sort of." Speak directly to show that you're confident and value the note holder’s time.

By practicing these communication skills your confidence will rise when speaking to note holders and the business will follow.  Remember, Success Demands Action! Keep on marketing, it’s going to work! TWITA!

Question of the Week

Q - Hi Jeff,

          Does a note investor usually need to see the property condition and the market value of that particular property in order to make a decision to buy the note from the note holder?

                                                      ~ Robert
A - Hi Robert!

          Thanks for the email! Yes, during the due diligence period a note investor will order a drive by appraisal or a BPO (Broker's Opinion of Value) to see current property condition and actual market value of the subject property. Hope this helps!

                                                      ~ Jeff
