In Times of Change

Learners Shall Inherit the Earth

'In times of change, learners inherits the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.'
--the late writer Eric Hoffer

As we begin to prepare for the Mortgage Industry 2011 conference/brainstorming we must deal with the reality that the mortgage world that we knew no longer exists in reality. There are technological, financial, demographic and business trends that are affecting the way we do business and that will irrevocably change the way our business models operate.

As we move forward in this environment, I thought you'd find the blog below helpful in finding ways to deal with the pace of change.

What do you see from your perspective and how do you see that changing the way you do business?

How has Amazon changed your clients perspective of the shopping process?

How has Google changed the way your clients expect information to be presented?

Share your thoughts as we paint a vision of understanding for 2011.

Resumes used to be the "ticket" given at the door to job interviews. Now they are simply symbolic as most of the company's investigation of the applicant can be done online. "Googleing" an applicant is far more efficient and revealing than a 30 minute conversation.

The advent of these type of search capabilities spell disaster for less than authentic mortgage originators...

I dig the new blog!
