Each member MUST have completed a
minimum of 200 signings to qualify for network membership.
Marketing is the primary focus. It is
REQUIRED.
Each member must pledge to market to FIVE
new companies each and every month via mail, email, or in person,
beginning with your own contacts. This must include distribution of the
network brochure. Brochures are printed by each member, tri-folded and
sent or handed out to your contacts. The brochure should be printed on
heavyweight brochure or presentation paper to present a professional
appearance. Mail is the primary way of marketing as Title & Escrow
companies, lenders, and loan officers are often in other cities and/or
states.
Each month you will enter your contacts onto
our marketing spreadsheet and will share them with the others. This
information must be submitted via email by the end of each month. It
will then be added to a master list that is updated and returned to you
for your records.
Meetings are held the first Tuesday of every
month at 9:00 PM in the chat room at the network website. As with
marketing, MEETINGS are mandatory.
Membership is
free. However, we do have costs such as the network website. The
initial cost for each member is $29.00, and then dues of $20.00
annually. When your share is received you will then be included
in the brochure and website. Your share can be sent by personal check,
money order, or via Pay-Pal. If Pay-Pal is used, a small fee is added by
Pay-Pal. Make sure the personal information you send with your profile
is correct as it is time consuming to make changes to the website and
brochure. Each member should consider creating a personal website with a
link to our network. We require a reciprocal link to your personal
website if you have one.
Otherwise, the link will default
to your email address
Networking requires trust. No one requires referral fees from others in
the network. Each member reports successful
referrals to and from the other members. Each member guarantees
his work. We cannot risk referring work to you if you make excuses or
drop the ball. Strict confidentiality is
required. If you are not able to keep marketing contacts confidential,
you are not membership material.
Each member
shall uphold professional standards and not accept extremely low fees
that show a lack of respect for your own work. If you do, you are not
network material. Our members are not selling Mary Kay, vitamins,
schemes, or Avon, etc. to the borrowers, as this is not appropriate.
We as members respect each other’s time, effort, and contribution to the
group, and agree to work together in a timely manner. Calls and emails
must be returned promptly. As a professional businessperson, you must
be reachable. Don't tell us you don't have the time to do your
marketing. If you are not going to market, then this network is not for
you. If your family is constantly ill, your car not in good running
order, your printer broken, or your email not working, then please do
not join this group.
If you are a signing service, you cannot be a member of the network.
Are you ever going to become a signing service? If you are, don't get
into a network. It's wrong to do that because your purposes are
different from a network. You desire to charge for referrals. A network
member refers for free and only based on their reputation and trust that
the same will be done for them. This also includes people that partner
with others in order to cover multiple areas or refer to others outside
of the network group. Each member covers specific counties within the
network. We will not risk losing jobs or hard earned contacts to the
outside partners of others.
Members not following the criteria as outlined in these
terms and conditions will receive one written warning to comply. If
they fail to do so within the time allotted then their network
membership will be revoked. Exceptions are vacations and emergencies;
you will be excused and will catch up on the number of marketing
contacts you missed while away.
