...is the operative word here, Bob. There's one company I work with that almost exclusively deals in HELOC's & you're right, they only take 15-20 minutes. However I'm still receiving $65.00 for those! The point I'm trying to make is that a VETERAN in this business should NOT be taking $50.00 signings on a routine basis. I never made reference to "newbies" although I even disagree with you there. In my 3+ years in this business I've accepted TWO $50.00 signings. You set your standards & you stick by them. I could literally care less what the SS's are making on their end as that isn't what concerns me & it shouldn't concern you. With regards to your daddy's statement, he did qualify that with "rarely". In my opinion you're losing money on $50.00 signings involving anything other than a 15 minute HELOC. We all need to make $50.00 signings as "rare" as we possibly can by turning them down. Otherwise we ALL will be pushing McDonald's fries at some point in time. JMHO & I appreciate the feedback, Bob. |
