I co-founded this company with two other associates. I was responsible for developing the company operating procedures, as well as the training and development of our employees, independent contractors, and mid level managers. I developed, tracked and analyzed our mail, print, radio, and direct sales marketing campaigns. Hired and trained almost entire staff, and developed mid level team managers.Production Manager for 10-20 loan officers, at peak we were producing an avg. of 65 loans per month. This far exceeds industry standards.Responsible for generating, tracking, and reporting all the company's current pipeline and incoming add call leads. At peak, we generated and avg. of 50 incoming calls per day, with a close ratio over 10%.Responsible for opening offices in Nevada and Arizona, producing the company's radio commercials, as well as negotiating contracts with various radio stations. Established relationships with lenders, title companies, and appraisers in order to lower our overhead cost, and negotiate better rates for our clients.

I started at the very bottom, sending mailers and cold calling. Within six months I became a top producer. Three months later I convinced the owners, that with a small budget, I could produce the same amount of live transfers cheaper, and guarantee better quality transfers at the same time. In my first month as the sales manager I was producing all of the company live transfers. By my sixth month I was a top producer, in closed loans as well as revenue generated. I received the 2003 award for top producing new agent.In my eighth month I simultaneously managed, trained, and staffed a Call Center with 6-8 cold callers. This generated 35-50 live transfers per week, which translates to 5-10 loans per week. The Call Center alone was responsible for generating revenue of $35,000-$50,000 thousand per month. I not only saved the company money by running the call center in house, I increased profits and efficiency at the same time.
