Meeting Request

Earlier this week on the regular mortgage mastermind group that I attend with Dustan Woodhouse. He asked the group what are you doing different now vs prior to the pandemic. The most common response was that we are not doing any more face to face meetings. 20 years ago when I started it was the common practice. However with that practice comes the down side of lost productivity time.

To meet someone in person requires that you leave the home office up to 30 minutes beforehand to allow yourself to arrive on time and so you can find a place to park. Showing up late is not in my vocabulary. Take a few minutes for chit chat and then talk about the important stuff and lo and behold the meeting takes about an hour. So now with the commute back in possibly rush hour traffic has now resulted in a loss of 2 to 2 and half hours of time. All of which could be accomplished by meeting virtually or over the phone.

I am more productive staying in the office and working on getting my clients files approved and finalized than running all over town. I mean no offence to say this as my clients and referral are wonderful people, it’s just that in 99% of the time we don’t have to meet in person. To meet virtually is actually a very easy process, just click here and pick a time that works for you and make sure that your camera is on so we can connect.

Today I am thankful for meeting up a friend that I have not seen in a very long time yesterday, neighbours homes starting to look festive and options for clients when others had said no.

I look forward to hearing from you in regard to your mortgage needs.
