10 Celebration Ideas (+ one bonus idea)
Honor your team during this once-a-year celebration week for the professional work they do each and every day to make the American dream of homeownership a reality for their clients.
 | Share Your Success Stories. Ask your clients to submit letters or videos about how their LO helped them in the loan process to achieve their dreams. Share their stories with your team at a specially planned event. Don’t forget to share these stories on your website and Facebook page…and make a brag book for your lobby area! |
 | Our LOs Turn Their Clients’ Dreams Into Reality… Feature photos and videos of your LO’s at work along with their bios, tenure, accomplishments and achievements as a new highlight for each day of the Week on your website and social media pages! |
 | Make This Week A Celebration For Your Team! In advance, post your agenda for the week that lists the special events you have planned for your team…build the excitement! |
 | Support Your State Association. Pay for membership in your State Association for your team and encourage attendance at the local state association meetings. You may even consider inviting one of the Association’s leaders to speak at a company meeting….or consider volunteering to chair a committee! |
 | Celebrate With Lunch On You! Host a Hero Sandwich Party…because your team are all heroes, every week of the year. Or consider an old fashioned ice cream social, where everyone brings a different topping. Invite your referral partners to stop by for a special treat with the team. |
 | “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” Create a company Trivia Game! Involve your team to create questions and answers about services/benefits you provide as well as information about your clients and community….and consider how you can use this creatively – on your website, in social media, perhaps in new client application packages! |
 | Give Back… Make a donation on behalf of your team or plan a team-building day to volunteer together at a local charity. Ask your referral partners to participate too! |
 | Get Some Ink! Contact your local media outlets including the paper, television and radio stations and let them know you are celebrating National Professional Mortgage Loan Originator Week. You can prepare a press release to distribute and post on your site. |
 | Create a Hall of Fame Highlight the individuals on your team with their names on a plaque that you can display in your lobby. Just call a local trophy shop for great options and ideas. |
 | Recognize Your Winning Team Write up a letter that describes what a great job they do for their clients, and why you are glad to have them as a part of your team. Go one step further, and post it on their Linked In page as a professional recommendation. |
 | And The Award Goes To…. Award your team with special gifts such as a three-day weekend, a gift card, flowers, homemade muffins or anything to make them feel special for all the work they do. Consider investing in some fun merchandise that carries your company log or mission statement to build team pride! |

Awesome ideas and a great event! It’s nice to have someone noticing all of the hard work that Originators do day in and day out!
This a great idea overall. I believe that the vast majority of LO’s left standing are true professionals. As an industry, we’ve been left to contend with the aftermath of overzealous and misdirected rulemaking. Anything that we can do to bring cohesion and greater unity or recognition to those that are and always have been doing the right thing for their clients is precisely what’s needed. My thanks to MSS for putting this all together!
Hello i am looking to become a MLO and im getting ready to take the test, but i would like to know is this still a good profestion to get into. and what would a seasoned MLO expect to make yearly.
I am new to this industry.
thanks Lance
