    Convert More Mortgage Leads - David Thomson - Suada

    Handling Leads and "Flash to Bang" Time: Learn why contacting a lead instantly is "massively important" to prevent competition. David explains how to open the call with high energy, demonstrating that you are an expert and are "cool, social, relevant, interesting and intriguing".1 The Science of Sales: Understand how to utilise principles of influence, such as reciprocity, framing, negotiation, and future pacing, so clients say yes to your requests at a higher case value.1 Protection Conversation: David shares his highly effective technique for introducing protection early by asking, "If you lent me £250,000 and I died, would you want your money back?". He stresses the need to always present a client with three choices: a good, a better, and a best option.1 The Open Loop Referral System: Discover how to get more recommendations than you can "ever dream of" by neutralizing reciprocity. The system involves telling a client, "Don't thank me now, Alex," and setting up an "open loop" for them to repay the favor later by providing referrals.1 Recruiting and Training: David explains that he looks for four key traits in advisors—energy, an edge, the ability to execute, and a winner’s attitude. He details how systemised training, using models he learned as a top financial advisor, can get an advisor banking £12,000–£15,000 a month within two to four months.1 If you're ready to build a strong, systemised business that can scale and sell, this is essential listening.

    Book More Mortgage Appointments - Mortgage Lead Management & Protection Sales Processes With Terry Blackburn From The Wealthy Adviser Club

    Your phone just pinged with a new lead—now what? Stop losing potential revenue by waiting. This episode with Terry Blackburn reveals the critical, almost instantaneous action you must take to increase your conversion rate by up to 80%. You will learn the secrets of a repeatable phone process, including how to master six different tonality types to immediately influence the conversation and why speed to the appointment is as crucial as speed to the call. Discover the single closing technique that eliminates objections, ensuring clients book the fact-find immediately. Finally, find out why leaving a descriptive voicemail is one of the biggest mistakes you can make, and the simple, counter-intuitive calling strategy that guarantees a return call because, as Terry asserts, a lead is never truly dead until one specific condition is met. Terry Blackburn is the founder of The Wealthy Advisor Club, a community and group coaching platform for brokers that has grown to over 692 members in just over eight months. After selling his firm, bespoke, Terry started the club to coach and help more brokers. The club offers three training sessions a week, typically covering lead generation, sales training, and other industry-related topics like mindset, habits, or building a property portfolio. Terry shared testimonials of clients who have seen significant results after implementing his processes: Two businesses doubled their revenue within three months, adding hundreds of thousands of pounds to their turnover. One advisor increased his biggest ever written commission month from £40,000 to over £100,000 as part of the Sesame Network. The ROI for the paid version of the club ($97 a month) is described as overwhelmingly high. The Wealthy Advisor Club can be found by searching on Google, LinkedIn, Insta, or Facebook, and is hosted on the SKOOL platform. A free version is available, which provides one training session a week. Brought to you by the team at The Lead Engine who specialise in generating mortgage leads.

    Get More Leads Using The Science Of Persuasion - Online Influence - Bas Wouters

    The episode centres on the application of behavioural science, particularly the work of Bass Wouters and Dr. Robert Cialdini, to marketing, sales, and lead generation, emphasising how small, costless changes can lead to massive results. Key Topics Discussed: Behavioural Science vs. Market Research: Bass Wouters explains that behavioural science is fact-driven research on how humans actually make choices, contrasting it with traditional market research where people often inaccurately predict what will influence their behaviour. Case studies, such as the social proof message on UK tax payments and hotel towel reuse, demonstrated that appeals based on what peers are doing are far more persuasive than rational or environmental appeals.Daniel Kahneman's System 1 and System 2: The discussion explores Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman’s concept of two decision-making systems:System 1: The fast, instinctive, shortcut-based brain that makes the vast majority (90-98%) of decisions.System 2: The slower, rational, effortful brain.Wouters emphasises that persuasive efforts should focus on triggering System 1, which "runs the show," rather than System 2, which is targeted by rational arguments.BJ Fogg’s Behavioral Model: The Fogg Behavioral Model is introduced as a framework for designing desired behaviour. Behaviour occurs when three factors converge at the same moment: Motivation, Ability (ease of the action), and a Prompt (trigger). Bas notes that most people incorrectly push for more motivation when they should be focusing on increasing ability (making the action easier) and ensuring the prompt occurs at the right moment (when motivation is high).The Power of Conciseness ("Word Jenga"): Wouters discusses the concept of "Word Jenga"—removing unnecessary words to reduce mental effort. Case studies show that shortening copy, even from three sentences to one, can lead to significant conversion increases (e.g., 46% increase on a landing page). They suggest communicating digitally with the simplicity required for System 1, which is compared to speaking to a "child of seven."Online Influence Lab and Workshop: Bass Wouters announces the launch of the Online Influence Lab on October 9th and a free workshop focused on practical, real-life case studies demonstrating how to design a winning prompt, increase ability, and boost motivation. He uses the case of "the Dutch Amazon" (bol.com) increasing product reviews by 400% as a workshop example. The online presence for the work is at  onlineinfluence.com .
