Mortgage Revolution Northeast – We’re Raising the Bar!!

When the Mortgage Revolution was started, the description for the events was that they would be an ‘un-conference’. Unconventional, unspammable, unbelievable!  Ok, so I’m out of ‘un’ words but suffice it to say that each event has had it’s own flavor and every speaker, attendee and volunteer helped to make the event memorable and valuable for everyone involved and they were unlike anything that I’ve ever attended.

This time around, we’re taking things to the next level!  The team has been working hard with some guidance from folks like Rene Rodriguez helping to hone the mission and vision of the event and focus on maximizing the value of the event for the attendees.

Here are some of the highlights to whet your whistle:

We decided that there should be a focus on attendees walking away from the event with information (well, every conference does that!) but to take it to the next level we want you to walk away from the event with a FINISHED PRODUCT too!!   This won’t just be a meeting where you sit in the audience and listen to experts telling you what to do and how to do it – you will be involved, you will participate and, most importantly, you WILL WALK OUT OF THE EVENT WITH A FINISHED PRODUCT IN YOUR HAND!!!

We are focusing the event on 3 main ‘tracks’.  There will be a video track, a social media track and a ‘High Touch’ referral business building track.  The tracks will start with a longer ‘workshop’ that allows much more detail and hands-on involvement than the typical 50 minute presentations.  It’s all about results and a finished product for this event!

When you walk out of the Video Track, you will have a video shot, produced and uploaded to your website, YouTube, Facebook and anywhere else you want.  DONE!!  You’ll see it, touch it, feel it and DO IT!!  How many events have you attended where  you learned ‘about’ something and loved the idea but never implemented it when you got home.  Not this time!!!  You will be implementing before you even leave the first workshop!!

When you are done with the Social Media Track you will have an account on all of the major social media outlets, you will have a Facebook web page, you will have a blog.  DONE!!  No need to go home and try to remember what to do.  It will all be done during the event!  You will also get a plan to use the tools, set a schedule to minimize the time commitment to make these activities work for you and determine what is and is not working so you can focus on the areas that most fit your business style.

Once you have the clients contacting you with your social media and video plans – what do you do?  You want to convert them into long term, ongoing relationships so that you can continue to get referrals from those people.  When you are done with the ‘High Touch’ referral track you will have a host of materials that you can use at various touch-points in your marketing or loan process and a plan to use those materials.  It will be simple, easy to implement and most importantly effective.  You won’t walk out with a ‘to-do’ list.  You will leave the event with an implementable plan and the material that will all but guarantee success!

We’re still going to have all of the Mortgage Revolution greats – World Domination Night (this is awesome but you can’t peek behind the curtain – if you haven’t been to one you’ll have to ask someone who has- they are amazing sessions!!).  As usual we’re having lots of loan originators who will be sharing their own secrets of success and how they use those secrets to build their business and thrive in the market we’re all experiencing.  Successful people giving their time, energy and effort to help you make more money, save time and balance your professional and personal lives.  Amazing stuff!

Of course we’ll still have all of the networking activity that is such a big part of each event.  Meeting new friends and connecting with those you’ve met over the years.  If you’re nervous about going because you think you might not know anyone – DON’T BE!!  This is the most inviting and energizing group of folks you’ll ever meet.  Loan originators looking to share with each other, meet new people and learn from others.  The vibe is indescribable – you just have to go to experience it.  You won’t be the same when you leave the event.

Finally, the team has worked very diligently to keep the costs down for attendees and we were able to negotiate an amazingly low room rate of $119 for the hotel rooms.  It just doesn’t get any better than that!

If you’ve been to a previous Mortgage Revolution event you will experience the next step in the EVOLUTION OF THE REVOLUTION!!!

If you’ve never been to a Mortgage Revolution event – sign up now and prepare for a life changing experience.  You will not be disappointed!!

See you in New York!

    Jason,

    What a great summation of what it’s all about. Very well done my friend.

    To those of you that don’t yet know Jason, he’s a super hard working MRev volunteer and New York local host that is busting his rear to be a very successful originator while also working tirelessly to make MRev NY the best event yet. He’s also dedicated hundreds of hours to fight on behalf of our industry against some of the misguided and overzealous regulations that have been and continue to be proposed. Get to know this guy, you won’t be sorry.
