It’s Not Rocket Science but it doesn’t mean its easy

It’s easy as a financial professional to get caught up in the need to do something edgy or ‘out-of-the-box’ to win over customers. It’s natural, you see Nike do a great campaign and you think "wow, if we could only be Nike of the [mortgage, banking, lending] industry we’d be [rich, famous, loaded with business]".

As Seth Godin points out, the mortgage industry (like others) doesn’t need a flashy/hip marketing idea to win business - it takes something much harder to develop: consistently delivering on your promise, delivering what people expect, eliminating surprises time and time again.

In a transaction that involves a financial asset as large as a house these results are far more important than a flashy campaign to building long-term business success.
