Welcome to Loan Officer Leadership, your #1 podcast for Loan Officers who are looking for structure and success.

Are you making the calls, having the conversations, and still not seeing the results you want? 

One of the biggest gaps in most loan officers’ businesses isn’t effort—it’s intentionally asking for the business and tracking the activity.

Too many loan officers are doing the work but leaving deals on the table simply because they aren’t making a direct, confident ask. 

In this episode, Steve breaks down: 

• Why asking for the business is the missing link to closing more loans 
• How to track your activity so you can measure what matters 
• The simple shifts that will help you convert more of the business you are already generating 

If you are ready to close even more loans without working more hours, this episode will show you how to turn your conversations into real closings.
