Overcoming The Challenges of Your Own Mindset

Episode 34

On this episode of Loan Officer Success, your hosts Mike Cardascia and Erica Homefield, walk you through the various reasons why many loan officers deal with what is referred to as “call reluctance.”

Although there are circumstantial and situational reasons for this hesitation, Mike and Erica share inspirational words and real day to day actions that you can use to overcome and push through the barriers.
