"If you're not utilizing rate as a way to go out and find business, you're missing out."
"Make me feel comfortable that I'm not making a mistake. Don't try to educate me with seven different reports."
"Most originators don't need AI right now. It's a distraction. Go back to basics."
"I've seen originators that were total idiots. But they were fun idiots, friendly idiots, nicer than me idiots. And they got loans."
Resources Mentioned

Bottom Line
Stop overcomplicating everything. Have real conversations. Show up consistently. Be yourself on social media. Focus on the emotional side of home buying. And for the love of God, stop trying to educate people who don't want to be educated.
The originators winning right now aren't the smartest ones - they're the ones taking consistent action every single day.
