Best sales line EVER

So I'm in some shitty part of Charlotte searching for a fax machine for my jagoff client. As I'm perusing the fax aisle some weirdo cracker employee walks up beside me, waits for a few seconds, then says, "So, let me give you the facts".

Oh my fucking fuck.

Having done loans for a while, I've heard some fucking cheesedick lines that would make a used car salesman roll his eyes.

lolol....throw some out there.

my old business partner had some funny ones.

"Give me 1% of your trust, and i promise i'll earn the other 99%."

"You're not interested in what? Saving money?"

"Really, they quoted you that rate? Who's doing your loan? The tooth fairy?"

My favorite pitch of his was a complete cold call. never spoke to the person before and he'd go, depending on who picked up the phone

"hey <name>, it's jeff from so and so.....i'm not sure if you recall but a few months back we spoke about your mortgage and at the time i couldn't do anything for you...but once i saw the rates drop i made the commitment to get back to you. that's exactly why i have you on the phone now. do you recall"

70% of the time they say yes LOL.....if they said no he goes "yeah, it was a real brief conversation." and then right into the pitch

When I used to telemarket, I'd say something similar to that call back one. It does work.

But yeah the "don't want to save money" one, the "1%, 99%" one is from Boiler Room, sort of. I had a guy say "What, you're telling me if you saw (x amount of money) sitting on the ground, you'd just step over it? The benefit I'm giving you is financial piece of mind". There are more, I just can't think of them now. I do almost all purchases now, so it's become a lot easier.

that's not bad..

I always use... "wow, that sounds too good to be true... you should go with that, give me a call when i can help you out" everyone knows if it sounds too good to be true.. .

anyway..

I actually just dropped $5K on 100 leads that are really good, according to my friend that's used this source. He funded 26 of the 100 that he bought. Average loan amount was over $300K. Should be decent.

LOL @ Boiler Room being inspirational.

sounds like a crock bro......not saying your buddy is lying but i'm big on marketing and i've always been "the" marketing guy at my companies. Any leads that are purchased are bullshit. always. with the exception of internet leads back in like 2002-2003...back then you could dial the whitepages and make 20k a month.

best lead is a self generated one. direct mail, telemarketed, internet (own website), referral.

most lead vendors either sell them off a million times....and then half of the people who buy them are resellers themselves. the lead gets recycled a million times and it becomes garbage.

ON top of that most lead companies are mortgage companies themselves. they cherry pick the good ones and sell the shit

even live transfers are bullshit...the lead is usually garbage and you're just paying an outside telemarketer that you can't even supervise or train or QC, xx amount of dollars per lead.

I believe him. I've always counted on 10% funding what I've bought in the past and usually did better than that. He's a ninja on the phones, and he just finished paying off his Wakesetter and his M3. He doesn't do purchases, and he said these were all he worked. He's not a bullshitter either.

So I'm in some shitty part of Charlotte searching for a fax machine for my jagoff client. As I'm perusing the fax aisle some weirdo cracker employee walks up beside me, waits for a few seconds, then says, "So, let me give you the facts".

Oh my fucking fuck.

incredible

It sounds like part of Countrywide's sub prime department's sales script.

Oh my fucking fuck.

you shoulda been all like "NO, let me give YOU the facts!", and then picked up the largest multifunction printer/fax/copier/coffee machine and smashed him over the head with it until he died.

you had a pretty good position at CW B/C, no?
I recall a couple of years ago when i got back into the biz you mentioning it.

why did you leave?
Other than the fact countrywide is full of fuckin crooks.....
evil empire of mortgage companies IMHO. I sent them loans through the wholesale side and their RETAIL side would try to fuckin solicit my borrowers and undercut my fees/rate.
real shady shit.

anything i ever did send them took years to close and they always restipped me.

Wells fargo and CW are on my shit list. will never use them again unless it's the only place i can go with it. and even then i won't expect it to close

I was there, got promoted to branch manager and then went over to CMD. Got promoted there, and the shit just started to suck. It was all politics and just got away from doing loans. When I was just able to do my thing and help my guys get loans through, it was fun and everyone made money. The place I'm at now is coorespondent with CW and it's never been easier to get things done, conditions get signed off on almost immediately, the rates are good, I love it. Working for them is really diifcult. I was the definition of stress, I was taking the shit home with me, I was miserable.

The best sales line to use on you would be......


"So, let me give you the facts about my boyfriend as we "connect" and you buy me to dinner".

The point is in the midwest especially here in Minnesota, they are always looking for the discount... i don't mind upcharging you $2,000 and giving you a $2,000 discount if that's what makes you feel good..

I know what margin i need to make, and i usually ask for that.. I don't like people to lie to me to get a discount.. shop me around??? then i didn't do my job correctly..

When i was a Realtor in Cali in the 80's you let me into your house, you signed whatever contract i put in front of you..

It was fun, a little too time consuming for me with a young family..

 

[all the whey]

so did you buy the fax machine?

Yes, he did.

But, he doesn't want to give it to the owner of it. He "connected" with it even though it is not his.

He asked it out to dinner, but has not heard back yet.

makes sense.....most of my clients dont shop me, and i don't want to deal with the nickel and dimers. it's annoying...not worth my time and headache if i'm only making <x> amount per loan, especially if it's a pain in the ass loan.
let some newbie schmuck deal with all the shit...for peanuts, and it'll probably never even close.
