Top of Mind makes Surefire Creative content available as a standalone marketing resource for mortgage lenders

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, today announced the launch of Surefire Creative, an online library of award-winning marketing collateral designed to supplement mortgage lenders' prospect, client and partner marketing programs.

The collection of on-demand email, video and interactive content, available as a subscription service, is hand-selected by mortgage industry experts from the full content library available to Top of Mind's Surefire CRM customers.

Surefire Creative collateral reflects each lender's unique brand and can be easily customized with loan officer and referral partner details. Each piece of content is expertly designed to nurture lenders' relationships with customers. Often educational and always entertaining, Surefire Creative's English- and Spanish-language content includes loan calculators and interactives that are dynamically personalized on the fly for each borrower.

Top of Mind's creative content has earned recognition in multiple internationally renowned award programs, including the AVA Digital Awards, the Telly Awards and the Hermes Creative Awards. To learn more about Surefire Creative, visit https://www.topofmind.com/surefire-creative/.

Top of Mind launches ‘Retention Center’ to help loan originators foster customer loyalty

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, today announced it has launched the Surefire CRM Retention Center to help loan originators (LOs) foster loyalty among their clients.

The Retention Center is an online retention gift store that enables loan originators (LOs) to curate a gift-receiving experience for clients in lieu of or in addition to corporate-level client retention initiatives. Within the Retention Center, LOs can build automated retention gift campaigns based on rules such as loan type (refinance or purchase), loan amount and occasion. Once a retention gift campaign has been activated, Top of Mind dynamically customizes, professionally packages and ships the retention gift to its recipient. Retention Center gift options include bamboo cutting boards, premium whole-bean coffee, a self-inking address stamper and dynamic birthday cards.

"There are innumerable studies that illustrate how customer retention is a critical component of company growth. Retaining customers is less expensive than acquiring new ones, and loyal customers are more likely to spend more and refer family and friends," said Top of Mind Chief Revenue Officer Nick Belenky. "We launched the Retention Center to help lenders strengthen borrower repeat business with unique gifting opportunities that make clients feel valued and help originators stay 'top of mind.'"

Top of Mind's Surefire CRM is the most-used CRM and marketing platform in the mortgage industry. Mortgage professionals of all stripes - including retail, wholesale, consumer direct and bank lenders - strengthen referral partnerships and deepen their emotional connections with borrowers to cultivate clients for life.

Top of Mind Debuts Bidirectional Connection Between Its Surefire Automated Mortgage Marketing Platform and Salesforce CRM

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind) today announced the debut of a bidirectional data connection between Surefire, the number-one platform for automated mortgage marketing, and Salesforce, the world's most popular enterprise CRM. The connection gives mortgage lenders unprecedented choice and control over the way information is shared between their enterprise CRM and mortgage marketing technologies.

Salesforce is not required to reap the benefits of Surefire, which offers native CRM capabilities. However, Top of Mind's tie-in with Salesforce Lightning Connect helps banks, credit unions and independent mortgage companies that have already invested in Salesforce maximize the effectiveness of their marketing programs by playing to the unique strengths of each platform.

"For an enterprise-class lender, there's no better CRM than Salesforce - and there's no better mortgage marketing automation tool than Surefire," said Top of Mind Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer Erik Enright. "We've made it easy for lenders to leverage the best of both systems and tailor the experience to the exact way they do business."

Top of Mind's connection with Salesforce comes pre-configured with default mapping to Salesforce data fields, making it easy to use out of the box. By adjusting a few simple toggles, lenders can specify exactly what data should be shared between systems, which direction the data should flow and when it should be pushed. For instance, lenders may wish to share just leads and contacts, or they may choose to share tasks, events, emails, and phone call records. Records can be shared as they are created, or they can be shared every time they're updated. Lenders can even create and share custom data fields.

"We built this connection to give mortgage lenders choice and control over the way Salesforce and Surefire work together - without the need to hire a six-figure developer or consultant," said Enright. "Whether loan originators log into both systems or only use one system of record, the data flow can be adjusted to suit."

Lenders that use Salesforce Sales Cloud to manage leads and customers can turn on Top of Mind's marketing automation workflows to engage contacts with dynamic content designed to win new business, earn repeat business and deserve referral business. If a company prefers to build its customer journeys with Salesforce Marketing Cloud instead of Surefire, it can still make its marketing automation more impactful with Top of Mind's award-winning content. And whether a lender uses Salesforce Sales Cloud, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, or both, its marketing program can be greatly enhanced by the application of Top of Mind's Blueprints for Success, a set of mortgage marketing best practices informed by the team's more than 450 years of mortgage industry experience.

For more information about Top of Mind's connection with Salesforce, request a demo.

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, today announced an integration between its Surefire CRM and the LendingPad(r) suite of loan origination solutions (LOS).

The direct API connection enables real-time sharing of contact records and loan milestones between LendingPad and Surefire CRM, which in turn allows lenders to automate the delivery of personalized communication that enhances the loan applicant experience and keeps deals moving forward.

The system can automatically "nudge" applicants who need to submit documents to complete their loan applications.

"We've been hearing from more lenders as well as independent mortgage brokers that LendingPad has become their LOS of choice thanks to its quick speed-to-value and smooth URLA execution," said Top of Mind CEO Bill Hayes. "We have responded swiftly to that market demand with a seamless integration that lets lenders combine the agility and efficiency of LendingPad with the power of industry-leading marketing automation tools and dynamic content from Surefire CRM."

LendingPad offers a full suite of cloud-based LOS solutions for mortgage brokers, independent mortgage companies, banks and credit unions with fast implementation and flexible pricing that scales to teams of any size, from just a few users to enterprise institutions. Each edition of the LendingPad LOS fully supports the redesigned Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA) and is Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization (MISMO) v3.4 compliant.

"LendingPad is an agile, modern LOS with a commitment to serving mortgage lenders - and helping them compete - woven into our DNA," said LendingPad Managing Director Wes Yuan. "Our integration with Top of Mind's Surefire CRM delivers on that commitment by enabling originators to stay engaged with borrowers throughout the loan process in a way that's both personal and efficient."

Top of Mind’s Power Video Helps Loan Originators Build Personal Connections with Clients, Prospects and Referral Partners – in Seconds

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, today announced the launch of Power Video, a new toolset within Surefire CRM that makes it easy to record and send videos to clients, prospects and referral partners at scale.

Loan originators (LOs) do not need any special software to use Power Video; instead, they can record videos directly within Surefire CRM or upload videos from any mobile device. Lenders can send video content to clients and referral partners via email or text message on a one-off basis or as part of an automated, targeted marketing workflow.

"You can't always talk to your customers face-to-face, but that doesn't mean you can't make a connection that's both personal and powerful," said Top of Mind Executive Vice President of Sales Nick Belenky. "We built Power Video to make it easy for lenders to manage video communication at scale, whether they have one LO or ten thousand LOs."

Frontline originators don't even have to log in to Surefire CRM to benefit from Power Video. Explains Belenky, "Let's say a lender wants to send a video birthday greeting to every past client. With Power Video, the marketing manager can send the entire origination team a script with a link to record their birthday greeting - all via text message. The system automatically uploads each LO's video clip to the right folder in the Surefire content library, and then the workflow is ready to deploy in a centralized fashion."

Power Video offers lenders scalability and built-in compliance controls that are not available in other mortgage video solutions. Every Power Video automatically becomes part of the lender's audit file in Surefire, making it easy to respond to records requests in the event of a compliance audit.

Top of Mind’s ‘Surefire Lookbook’ Helps Mortgage Lenders Showcase Their Marketing Assets to Prospective Loan Officers

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, today released a new feature designed to aid mortgage lenders with the recruiting process. With the Surefire Lookbook, lenders can showcase their investment in marketing technology and demonstrate their ability to help prospective loan officers compete with content.

The Surefire Lookbook is a "highlight reel" of Top of Mind's wide range of award-winning content - but instead of showing generic samples of marketing collateral, each Lookbook is dynamically customized with the lender's unique branding and the prospective loan officer's headshot, contact information and location.

Surefire CRM by Top of Mind Integrates with Blend to Optimize Borrower Experience, Expedite Mortgage Loan Application Process

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, announced its integration with digital lending platform Blend.

The integration leverages bi-directional data syncing between Surefire CRM and Blend's point of sale (POS) platform, enabling the systems to automatically prefill loan applications with borrower contact information and execute automated workflows tailored to where clients are in the loan journey. When combined, the technologies automate Surefire CRM's workflows and award-winning content to loan applicants, resulting in improved loan application completion rates and borrower satisfaction.

"Data indicates that only 63% of mortgage loan applications started are fully completed," said Top of Mind EVP of Sales Nick Belenky. "A premium lending POS like Blend can increase that number, and when paired with Surefire CRM, elevate it substantially. From the moment a borrower begins a loan application, Surefire CRM helps usher them on their journey to homeownership."

To remove redundancy from the loan application process, Surefire CRM syncs its contact information with Blend so prospects receive the white-glove service of an intelligently prefilled loan application. Likewise, the integration helps loan teams keep applications on track with minimal effort through automated borrower outreach tailored to each application stage and notifications that suggest loan team intervention when an application has stalled.

"The benefits of Blend's digital lending platform, which improves borrower satisfaction and expedites origination times by streamlining the lending experience, are amplified when paired with Top of Mind's Surefire CRM," said Blend Head of Business Development, Brian Martin. "Prefilling loan applications with known borrower information has been shown to bolster lenders' Net Promoter Score (NPS). Combined with in-process automation that facilitates application completion, Blend's partnership with Top of Mind positions lenders to deliver a white-glove experience."

"Top of Mind has succeeded in the current market by meeting lenders' demand for an easy-to-implement marketing automation platform equipped with the content and workflows they need to begin increasing volume on day-one," said Top of Mind EVP of Sales Nick Belenky.

Top of Mind Integrates with Sales Boomerang to Help Mortgage Lenders Seize More Sales Opportunities, Hang On to Existing Customers

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, has partnered with Sales Boomerang, the industry's top-rated automated borrower intelligence and retention system, to help loan originators uncover new business opportunities and significantly outperform customer retention benchmarks by responding rapidly to loan opportunities as they arise.

Sales Boomerang notifies mortgage lenders the moment an unqualified lead becomes qualified - for instance, when a prospect's FICO score improves, when a borrower could reduce their mortgage payment or pay off debt by refinancing, or when a consumer's credit activity indicates they may be shopping for a mortgage. Lenders can define the criteria for a triggering event at the enterprise or individual loan originator (LO) level. Prescriptive scenarios make it effortless for loan originators to understand and capitalize on opportunities they would otherwise lose to competitors, delivering an average 20 to 30% lift in loan volume.

The newly announced integration embeds Sales Boomerang directly inside Top of Mind's Surefire CRM, the most popular CRM and marketing automation platform in the mortgage industry. Surefire's award-winning technology can be used to deliver timely reminders to LOs to follow up on the opportunities presented by Sales Boomerang. Alternatively, lenders can use Surefire to automatically deploy context-specific marketing campaigns to consumers on behalf of LOs, ensuring opportunities are never overlooked.

"As refi volume declines in 2021, lenders will need to nurture existing relationships to stay competitive in a purchase market," said Top of Mind VP of Sales Nick Belenky. "Together, Surefire's CRM and marketing automation platform and Sales Boomerang's automated borrower intelligence and retention system act as a powerful client retention force that empowers lenders to establish themselves as an indispensable partner in the homeownership journey."

"The lending industry is notorious for its abysmally low average customer retention rate; eighty percent of borrowers will take out their next loan with a different lender than the one they used previously," said Sales Boomerang CEO Alex Kutsishin. "Helping banks, credit unions and independent mortgage lenders beat those odds - often retaining as high as 65% or more of past customers - is at the core of everything we do."

About Top of Mind Networks:

Founded in 2003, Atlanta-based Top of Mind Networks (https://www.topofmind.com) started as a bootstrapped direct-mail marketing company. Today, the company is recognized as the mortgage industry's most-relied-upon provider of marketing automation and creative content solutions.

With intuitive, "set it and forget it" workflows and award-winning content, mortgage professionals are able to effortlessly maintain and deepen their emotional connections with clients.

About Sales Boomerang:

Sales Boomerang revolutionized the relationship between a Mortgage Lender and Borrower with the introduction of the only automated Borrower Intelligence System in 2017, which tells lenders when anyone in their database is ready for a loan. Today, Sales Boomerang is the #1 Borrower Retention strategy in the industry and has discovered over $30B in new volume for Lenders. Sales Boomerang's notifications are integrated with the best CRM/Marketing Automation Systems in the industry to provide a seamless experience for Lenders and Borrowers. Sales Boomerang's employees are dedicated to improving the lending experience for Lenders and Borrowers, and united behind the ethos - No Borrower Left Behind(TM).

Top of Mind Makes Educational Content from Its Surefire Summit Available to Mortgage Marketers Industry-Wide

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, today announced the widespread availability of educational content from its 2020 Surefire Summit user conference. Designed to teach mortgage marketers how to earn clients for life, the conference originally aired as a users-only virtual event.

According to CEO Bill Hayes, Top of Mind's decision to make its conference content widely available was spurred by the company's interest in helping mortgage lenders maintain momentum in the face of forecasts that call for a diminished refinance market in 2021.

"To minimize the need to wrestle competitors for leads in 2021, lenders will need to pivot from a churn-and-burn mentality to nurturing the huge wave of refi customers they acquired this year," said Hayes. In October, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) published its prediction that refis will drop by 46% in 2021, 39% in 2022 and 9% in 2023.

Available at no cost, the 2020 Surefire Summit includes sessions with industry leaders like Barry Habib. Additionally, viewers will also receive a content giveaway that includes a flyer bundle educating borrowers on the upcoming loan limit increase.

Now in its 9th year, the annual event brings together the Top of Mind team, top mortgage industry speakers, technology partners and SurefireCRM customers to help lenders derive the greatest value from their mortgage marketing programs.

VIP Mortgage Implements Surefire Power Messaging by Top of Mind, Generates Hundreds of Extra Deals in Q2 2020

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Arizona-based independent mortgage lender VIP Mortgage reported that it has generated hundreds of extra deals in Q2 of 2020 with the help of Surefire Power Messaging from Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry.

Surefire CRM is the most popular CRM and marketing automation platform in the mortgage industry. The award-winning technology delivers personalized, actionable intelligence throughout the entire homeownership lifecycle to every client and prospect. Launched April 1, 2020, Power Messaging is a Surefire CRM feature that makes it easy for lenders to engage prospects and customers with personal and timely text message communications, giving lenders control over when, to whom and under which circumstances messages are sent. Lenders have the ability to automate text communication using conditional rules and advanced workflows.

An early adopter of Power Messaging, VIP Mortgage began using the feature in April 2020 to target refinance prospects. During Q2, loan officers (LOs) at VIP Mortgage closed an average of 56% more loans per month compared to LOs at similarly-sized peers who hadn't yet adopted Power Messaging. In all, VIP Mortgage's Power Messaging campaigns generated a total of 332 deals over the course of Q2, of which 38.6% converted to closed loans with an average loan amount of $303,000.

"Our LOs that have incorporated Power Messaging into their multimedia refi campaigns have experienced such great success that now any time an LO does a refi campaign, I recommend the use of Power Messaging as a best practice," said VIP Mortgage Director of Marketing Cheri Booth. "With Surefire CRM features like Power Messaging, we've been able to create a marketing service that our LOs absolutely love."

"Power Messaging enables lenders to deliver high-touch text communication at scale," said Top of Mind CEO Bill Hayes. "This feature is especially relevant in today's market because it can be built into automated workflows, which multiplies originator productivity."

Top of Mind Networks partners with MobilityRE to fuel mortgage loan officer/real estate agent collaboration through SurefireCRM

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, has added game-changing real estate market intelligence, collaboration and analytics tools from MobilityRE to its flagship SurefireCRM.

"Mortgage lenders and real estate agents who forge mutually productive relationships deliver a better homebuying experience, which in turn instills consumer loyalty and feeds growth through word-of-mouth and social sharing," said Top of Mind EVP of Strategic Partnerships Jonas Kruckeberg. "Top of Mind's integration with MobilityRE is among our most exciting, because it gives loan officers the market intelligence they need to seek out highly productive referral relationships - which SurefireCRM then makes easy with built-in solutions for referral partner co-branding."

SurefireCRM provides access to the most extensive property listing coverage of any CRM, allowing lenders to generate Realtor-co-branded websites for individual properties using data and images pulled straight from a listing. As these Single Property Sites collect leads, SurefireCRM automatically goes to work nurturing those leads with co-branded, multi-channel marketing campaigns.

"In today's mortgage market, everyone is using a mobile device to search for a home. With MobilityRE, Realtors can provide a top-quality, mobile-optimized home search experience in a branded app that insulates borrowers from opportunistic competitors," said MobilityRE CEO and Founder Ben Teerlink. "Mortgage originators can then use data insights from our Mortgage Market Intelligence to identify the most productive agents and bring them into SurefireCRM to start building mutually beneficial relationships. Loan officers who follow this approach are seeing tremendous success and really growing their production volumes."

With MobilityRE's Mortgage Market Intelligence (MMI), SurefireCRM customers can assess current marketplace productivity and act on competitive intelligence to build the networks that best support their marketing strategies. For instance, lenders can identify which real estate agents are closing the most loans of a given type within a given geographical area. Lenders can even track agent activity in real time, receiving alerts as Realtors post new listings.

MobilityRE first made a name for itself with its white-labeled home search app. Designed for Realtors and lenders to share with their clientele, the app pulls property information directly from MLS databases, ensuring data accuracy for a superior consumer experience. When new listings hit the market that meet the prospective homebuyer's criteria and credit capacity, MobilityRE automatically alerts Realtors and loan officers so they can proactively schedule home viewings and prepare pre-approval letters.

Enhanced integration between SimpleNexus and Top of Mind’s SurefireCRM helps mortgage lenders curb abandoned applications, build books of business

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, has added two-way data sync to its integration with digital mortgage app SimpleNexus. The enhanced integration enables mortgage lenders to automate marketing efforts during the pre-application phase, reducing the number of abandoned applications and capturing lead information for future marketing purposes.

"Mortgage lenders don't always have a good system in place for following up with early-stage loan applicants. That's because marketing automation efforts often rely on contact records that aren't created until the loan application is 100% complete," explained Top of Mind EVP of Strategic Partnerships and Industry Relationships Jonas Kruckeberg. "Top of Mind's integration with SimpleNexus solves that problem by pushing contact details to SurefireCRM as soon as the application is begun, enabling mortgage lenders to deploy marketing communications during the pre-application phase."

For instance, originators can use the integration to set up workflows that automate follow-up with borrowers who begin, but do not complete, a mortgage application. According to Kruckeberg, sometimes that extra communication is all that's needed to push a loan application across the finish line. Even if the borrower never finishes the application, data sharing between SimpleNexus and Top of Mind ensures mortgage loan officers can follow up down the road with rate opportunity alerts and other timely outreach. And with the latest updates to the integration, data flows both ways; with the push of a button, loan officers can fetch new or updated contacts from SurefireCRM and import them into SimpleNexus.

"Staying connected with borrowers-whether they are buying today or a few years down the road-is essential to increasing conversions and giving those customers the best experience around," said SimpleNexus CEO Matt Hansen. "With integration and two-way sync with Top of Mind's SurefireCRM, SimpleNexus helps loan officers win the business when the time is right."

To date, the organization has judged more than 230,000 entries from applicants in 125 countries.

"While it's obvious that purchasing a home is a hallmark financial event, it's important to remember the enormous emotional journey of this impactful life decision," said Top of Mind Chief Creative Officer Sherwood Lawrence. "Top of Mind is committed to helping mortgage lenders connect with homebuyers on a deeper, emotional level. Our engaging content supports borrowers in making educated purchase decisions they will feel good about for a lifetime."

Top of Mind won the platinum award in three categories for "Around the Neighborhood," a dynamic web animation educating borrowers on factors that could impact the value of a home, such as nearby home sales, school zones and typical commute times. "Markets in a Minute," an interactive landing page that provides a snapshot of weekly mortgage market rates, took home a platinum award as a Facebook series and two gold awards as an email landing page. "Journey to Your New Home," an educational web animation that walks borrowers through the lending process, took home gold awards in two categories.

Top of Mind Launches PartnerNetwork Offering Lenders and Referral Partners a Simple Solution for Managing RESPA Compliance and Co-Branded Marketing Collateral

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, today announced it has launched PartnerNetwork, a Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) solution that makes it easy for lenders and referral partners to co-brand marketing collateral with control and confidence.

RESPA's guidelines, which prohibit lenders and real estate partners from receiving any "thing of value" in exchange for referrals, challenge lenders' ability to co-brand marketing material in an operationally pragmatic and compliant manner.

Lenders have typically responded by (1) eliminating co-branding initiatives altogether, thereby weakening marketing relationships in the name of risk mitigation; (2) fully leveraging marketing relationships and assuming the risk of co-branding missteps as a necessary cost of doing business; or (3) shouldering the substantial burden of calculating and recovering the value of each co-branded campaign from marketing partners. PartnerNetwork eliminates the need for mortgage lenders to choose between strong marketing relationships, regulatory compliance and operational ease by providing a simple, comprehensive solution for managing all co-branded marketing content.

Top of Mind has created the Surefire PartnerNetwork to enable digital value sharing of co-branded assets in the SurefireCRM platform. Lenders can control originators' ability to co-brand with marketing partners based on their approach to RESPA compliance and can easily identify partner participants in their database. Marketing partners do not have to repeat the registration process to co-brand with additional lender partners.

"We're very excited to offer a platform solution that allows our clients to manage RESPA compliance with control and confidence, not only for print marketing, but for digital marketing as well," said Top of Mind Co-founder and Chief Product Officer David Orsini. "This opens doors to new relationship-building opportunities for lenders who have been avoiding co-branding because of the complexity of RESPA compliance."

Top of Mind gives loan originators must-have text messaging capabilities with SurefireCRM Power Messaging

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, today announced the release of Power Messaging, a feature that enables SurefireCRM users to deliver high-touch text communication to consumers at scale.

Power Messaging makes it easy for loan originators (LOs) to engage prospects and customers with personal and timely text message communications. LOs control when, to whom and under which circumstances messages are sent. For instance, text messages may be sent to individual recipients or to groups of contacts; they may be deployed on a one-off or recurring basis; and they can be pushed immediately or scheduled for future deployment. LOs can even automate text communication with conditional rules and advanced workflows.

Power Messaging enables delivery of long-form messages with rich content. For instance, text messages can be customized with dynamic content, multimedia and external links. Power Messaging does not require recipients to download any apps, subscribe to a cellular data plan or acquire new technology skills. LOs can receive and respond to text messages from a dedicated chat window within the SurefireCRM platform.

"The ability to communicate with consumers on a personal level, on their preferred device, is just as critical to loan officers as being able to reach broad audiences through social media and email," said Top of Mind Chief Creative Officer Sherwood Lawrence. "At Top of Mind, we take people personally. Power Messaging is not a chat bot. What we've done is scale the person behind the process, so that loan officers can meaningfully engage consumers while growing and managing their sales pipelines."

About Top of Mind Networks:

Founded in 2003, Atlanta-based Top of Mind Networks (https://www.topofmind.com) has grown from a bootstrapped post-close, follow-up solution into the leading CRM/marketing automation firm in the mortgage industry. Their Surefire platform is widely regarded as the gold standard in enterprise CRM, automating best practice throughout a borrower's prospect-to-repeat-customer lifecycle.
