Accountable CRM Launches First Activity-Based Platform for Mortgage Teams

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- 90-Day Sales Manager proudly launches the first activity-based CRM with built-in coaching and accountability for mortgage teams at credit unions and community banks. The 3-in-1 platform provides mortgage departments an affordable solution to help loan officers stay productive during challenging times.

"Accountable CRM was born out of necessity," says Dr. Bruce Lund, Founder and CEO. "We initially sought to integrate our accountability software into existing CRMs for our credit union clients. However, we quickly discovered that many mortgage departments either lacked a dedicated mortgage CRM or rely on organizational CRMs that don't meet the needs of their mortgage departments. Accountable can plug into existing CRMs or serve as a standalone mortgage-specific CRM."

The core focus at Accountable CRM is centered around improving productivity by placing loan officers back at the heart of their CRM through daily activities and goal-setting. The platform has already achieved a 90% adoption rate-significantly outpacing the industry average of less than 20%. Sales managers are particularly drawn to the platform's activity tracking capabilities, which provide measurable results.

Mortgage-Specific CRM Features

Once the accountability tools were established, the next critical step was to develop mortgage-specific features and integrations. To lead this initiative, Dr. Lund brought on board Maggie Mae, a former Director of Product at a leading mortgage CRM, renowned for her expertise in CRM development and her deep understanding of the mortgage industry.

"Maggie's impressive track record in CRM development and her comprehensive understanding of mortgage processes made this platform the perfect playground for her expertise," says Dr. Lund. "With her insights, we've built a platform that not only fulfills all the expectations of a mortgage CRM but also integrates our unique accountability software to truly set us apart."

Accountable CRM includes a host of essential functionalities such as seamless Loan Origination System (LOS) integrations, automated email marketing, and a comprehensive mortgage marketing suite with hundreds of templates. The marketing suite offers one-click access to company-branded flyers, postcards, social posts, and more-all approved and managed by the marketing department. Additionally, the platform's mobile app ensures loan officers remain productive, whether in the office or on the go.

"Accountable CRM's emphasis on activity tracking and its commitment to supporting loan officers resonated deeply with me," adds Maggie Mae, Chief of Product. "The software is built on new technology which allows for continuous innovation and seamless integration with industry standards, making this software truly unique in the mortgage CRM space."

A Preferred Solution for Managers and Loan Officers

What truly distinguishes Accountable CRM from traditional CRMs is its focus on the daily activities of loan officers. While many CRMs prioritize internal marketing efforts, Accountable bridges the gap by collaborating closely with marketing teams to ensure that loan officers have the tools and support needed to succeed. This approach boosts productivity but also aligns sales and marketing efforts to drive better outcomes for the entire organization.

"Our partnership with Insellerate makes it easy and efficient for lenders to meaningfully connect with homebuyers by providing timely, relevant mortgage advice," said Sales Boomerang and Mortgage Coach Chief Lending Officer Joe Puthur. "This integration is able to benefit every managed contact automatically, which is especially powerful for both retail LOs in a market where they must proactively pursue borrower relationships and for consumer direct LOs who cultivate a large volume of relationships over the phone. Insellerate identifies the best lead opportunities and Mortgage Coach illustrates the impact of all loan scenarios, together helping lenders find and fund every loan opportunity."

"Partnering with Mortgage Coach will help our clients accelerate the sales and marketing process by providing LOs the technology they need to connect with and deliver value to home buyers," said Insellerate CEO Josh Friend.

Sales Boomerang teams up with OptifiNow to offer lenders an integrated experience for mortgage customer engagement

BALTIMORE, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- Sales Boomerang, the mortgage industry's top-rated automated borrower intelligence and retention system, today announced its application programming interface (API) integration with OptifiNow, a cloud-based sales, marketing and customer relationship management (CRM) platform. The integration ensures accurate borrower data flows seamlessly and automatically between the two systems, giving lenders more time to focus on nurturing borrower relationships and exceeding sales goals.

Sales Boomerang monitors mortgage lenders' customer and prospect databases to notify them exactly when a prospect or past customer is ready for a new loan. Sales Boomerang loan opportunity alerts may be triggered by market factors, like interest rate changes and home price appreciation, and consumer behaviors, such as listing a home for sale or improving one's credit score.

OptifiNow is a cloud-based sales and management software platform designed to meet the evolving needs of today's sales force. Optifinow's CRM is tightly integrated into its all-in-one platform of sales and marketing modules, giving users a simple end-to-end solution for managing all aspects of sales, marketing and business development.

Sales Boomerang's new integration with OptifiNow can be applied to any of the borrower intelligence platform's 11 unique loan opportunity alert offerings. When an opportunity alert is triggered by someone in a lender's database, that alert data is automatically ingested into OptifiNow. The CRM will then notify the loan originator (LO) associated with that customer and, depending on the user's specifications, automatically trigger personalized borrower outreach.

OptifiNow's CRM also generates a history of alerts for each prospect in a lender's CRM database. Synchronizing Sales Boomerang's real-time opportunity alerts with OptifiNow's CRM offers LOs a more nuanced understanding of a prospect's financial situation and enables lenders to build custom borrower data reports based on Sales Boomerang alert history.

"OptifiNow's intuitive, all-in-one CRM platform leverages Sales Boomerang's borrower intelligence to create a more streamlined lead generation experience," said Sales Boomerang Vice President of Product Mike Spotten. "Activating the integration between our systems will help our shared users harness the power of their database to ensure no borrower gets left behind at the closing table."

"We are thrilled to add Sales Boomerang to our ecosystem of best-in-class mortgage technology partners," said OptifiNow Vice President Sales Linn Cook. "The integration of OptifiNow and Sales Boomerang will drive greater borrower data integrity for our mutual lender clients, freeing them from the tedious process of manually gathering and tracking borrower information."

About Sales Boomerang:

Sales Boomerang transformed the relationship between mortgage lenders and borrowers with the introduction of the first automated borrower intelligence system in 2017. The company's intelligent alerts notify lenders as soon as a past customer or prospect is ready and credit-qualified for a loan. As the mortgage industry's #1 borrower retention tool, Sales Boomerang is trusted by more than 150 lenders - including brokers, independent mortgage companies, credit unions and banks - to help build lasting borrower relationships that maximize lifetime customer value. To date, Sales Boomerang alerts have enabled lenders to close more than $150 billion in additional loan volume that would have otherwise been overlooked and achieve customer retention rates that outperform industry norms by an average of 3-5X.

Sales Boomerang and Usherpa Expand Partnership to Set Mortgage Lenders Up for Success in 2021 Purchase Market

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Sales Boomerang, the industry's top-rated automated borrower intelligence and retention system, has expanded its partnership with Usherpa, a marketing and customer relationship management (CRM) platform for Realtors and mortgage lenders. Sales Boomerang's automated borrower intelligence is now integrated with Usherpa's newest feature, a FCRA- and RESPA-compliant co-marketing portal that helps lenders expand the nature and depth of their referral partnerships with Realtors.

The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) prohibits lenders and real estate partners from engaging in quid pro quo referral relationships, a guideline that has made it difficult for lenders and their agents to co-brand marketing materials in a compliant and cost-effective fashion. Usherpa's new co-marketing portal solves this problem by making it easier than ever for loan officers and Realtors to share the cost of creating and distributing co-branded marketing materials to their shared customer database in a compliant manner. By leveraging Usherpa's integration with Sales Boomerang's automated borrower intelligence, lenders can receive actionable, real-time alerts whenever someone in their database - or their referral partner's database within the co-marketing portal- is ready for a loan.

As soon as a customer becomes a candidate for a loan - because they've improved their credit score, market rates have changed or their home has accrued sufficient equity, for example - Sales Boomerang notifies the lender, who can then initiate marketing outreach that is co-branded with the Realtor's information. The marketing campaigns can be automated using pre-written marketing content created by Usherpa's experienced staff of industry experts or customized to meet individual company needs.

"The enhanced integration between Usherpa and Sales Boomerang is a win-win for loan officers and Realtors looking to take their referral partnerships to the next level," said Sales Boomerang CEO Alex Kutsishin. "The loan officer and Realtor share database information within the Usherpa co-marketing portal, we find the loan opportunities and Usherpa automates compliant and effective co-marketing outreach."

"Our customers have been looking for a more effective way to co-market with Realtor partners that is fully RESPA- and FCRA-compliant," said Usherpa Director of Business Development Paul Harrington. "Not only have we delivered what the doctor ordered, we've also enhanced it with the best opportunity alerts in the business thanks to our partnership with Sales Boomerang."

"Eustis Mortgage has developed a prosperous Realtor Success Program using the Sales Boomerang and Usherpa co-marketing portal," said Stephen Barton, SVP of National Retail Growth at Eustis Mortgage. "In just three quarters, our loan officers generated an average of more than $16 million per month in additional revenue."

About Usherpa:

Usherpa has been serving the mortgage and real estate industry since 1995, when it was founded as Media Center LLC. The company offers a powerful, easy-to-use marketing and CRM platform backed by gold-standard customer support and robust training to help Loan Officers and Real Estate Agents make the most of its effortless, fully-automated CRM. Usherpa users are empowered to build and maintain relationships with prospects, past customers, and business partners, resulting in increased repeat and referral business. Visit https://usherpa.com/ to learn more.

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.

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.

In just 60 seconds, prospective recruits can see themselves featured in their future employer's marketing emails, open-house flyers, direct-mail postcards, interactive multimedia and more - including co-branded marketing campaigns that also feature a Realtor or other referral partner.

"The Surefire Lookbook is a new concept to this industry and we encourage lenders to check it out for themselves to understand just how valuable it can be to the recruiting process," said Top of Mind Chief Revenue Officer Nick Belenky. "A mortgage lender's investment in effective marketing and technology is an important factor in attracting talent, especially in the ultra-competitive job market our industry faces today. Our goal is simple: to show prospects how their future employer's marketing program will help them generate more leads, collaborate with referral partners and keep a full pipeline."

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.

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."

Loan Officers Executing Automated Marketing Campaigns Close Twice the Deals, Earn Double the Revenue, Top of Mind Finds

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 data revealing that loan officers (LOs) who utilize automated lead, prospect and nurture campaigns on average see double the number of closed loans and revenue production.

Top of Mind calculations derive from fourth quarter 2019 user behavior and productivity data for individual loan officers at its top 25 percent revenue generating lender clients. Automated marketing campaigns were highly correlated with improved LO performance when outbound marketing campaigns preceded the receipt of a loan application.

In the analysis, LOs leveraging Surefire's automated marketing campaigns closed an average of twice as many loans and produced twice the revenue, in contrast with LOs who did not engage prospects with automated marketing campaigns.

As reported by STRATMOR Group, Top of Mind's flagship CRM and marketing automation platform Surefire is deployed by 74 percent of lenders using similar solutions, making its users' behaviors a best practice indicator for improving LO performance and revenue generation, such as engaging leads with automatically executed, targeted marketing campaigns.

"The most profound insight from our data analysis is that using Surefire not only works as expected, but has the very real ability to substantially lift average closed loan volume and revenue produced by every loan officer," said Top of Mind CEO Bill Hayes. "Even at the simplest macro scale, this is meaningful evidence that using automated marketing campaigns succeeds as a best practice."

Top of Mind Expands Mortgage Compliance Solutions with CCPA Readiness Ahead of January 1 Deadline

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks, a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, today announced that its Surefire CRM is ready to help mortgage lenders meet their obligations under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Effective January 1, 2020, the CCPA will impose significant new obligations on covered businesses, including mortgage lenders nationwide that do business in California. The law grants California consumers the right to know what information businesses collect about them. It also gives consumers the right to have their records purged from business databases, including CRMs, upon request, and consumers can opt out of having their information sold. Businesses cannot discriminate against consumers who exercise any of their rights under the CCPA.

Top of Mind's CCPA Guide gives Surefire customers an overview of the law and outlines the internal and external processes mortgage lenders should review to ensure they are CCPA-compliant. The guide also tells Surefire customers what to do if they receive a CCPA request from a consumer.

"Our customers can rest assured that the Top of Mind team is fully prepared to handle all CCPA requests ahead of the law's effective date," said Top of Mind Chief Product Officer David Orisini. "Surefire gives mortgage lenders the flexibility to retain consumer marketing history as required by existing laws while simultaneously allowing them to delete consumer information when required under CCPA."

CCPA-readiness is the latest addition to Top of Mind's full suite of compliance solutions. Surefire automates such essential compliance capabilities as approvals management for changes to print and digital assets; state-by-state licensing disclosures; review of rates displayed to leads and prospects; and full audit support.
