The growth of any Homebridge Mortgage Loan Originator is dependent on how effectively they can communicate with leads, borrowers and referral partners. Growth Engine is our promise that as a Homebridge MLO, you will have the tech stack needed to do just that.
With Growth Engine, you’ll have access to a library of creative content that you can deploy during tailored marketing campaigns. You can also reach out to others in the more personal ways that allow you to build long-term business relationships, like mailers and video marketing. Most of these efforts will be handled by one of three Growth Engine tools: Hearsay, Vidyard and Surefire.
A quick breakdown of these powerful platforms will help you get an understanding of how you can apply the Homebridge tech stack to your communication and grow your business as a Homebridge MLO.
Being Social
Hearsay is a social media management tool that gives you the ability to harness social media without having to spend hours curating content for your various platforms. It connects directly with your compliant accounts on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, allowing you to schedule posts days, weeks or even months in advance with a predetermined time and date.
You can choose from over 1,000 quality images and engaging posts that offer links to more in-depth educational content such as blogs, articles and interactive modules.
MLOs also have the chance to subscribe to pre-made content calendars, which will automate social media marketing for you. These calendars are put together by our dedicated team and are optimized for social engagement and awareness. You’ll be able to remain active online while also focusing on borrowers.
Connect and Engage Through Video
According to HubSpot, adding video to your emails can increase click rates by 300%. Homebridge MLOs can tap into this growing and highly engaging media channel by utilizing Vidyard, our video creation tool. Vidyard allows you to record, host and send videos to business partners with an easy-to-use interface that delivers high-quality results.
Vidyard’s back end is equally as impressive. Assess the effectiveness of videos by combing through analytics on data points such as:
- The number of views and who has viewed
- The dates and times of each view
- The duration of each view (tip: 68% of viewers will watch a business-related video to the end if it’s 60 seconds or less)
Deliver approval messages, recap meetings or utilize screen share to walk your clients through loan process documents. These videos allow you to create a more personal connection while also giving you a quick way to communicate.
