Episode 161

In this episode, I sit down with Steve Kyles to talk about a powerful moment from a recent Loan Officer Breakfast Club call featuring Joanne Johansen. After 30 years in the business, Joanne is having her best months ever—closing over 13 loans a month—and what impressed us most was her mindset. She said she’s willing to be coached. That’s rare in our industry, especially among seasoned LOs who may believe coaching “doesn’t work.” But maybe it’s not that coaching doesn’t work—maybe it just hasn’t been the right coaching.
