UMortgage Launches Level Up Sales Coaching Program to Help Loan Originators Scale Their Businesses

UMortgage is committed to helping its Loan Originators take their production to the next level when they join the innovative mortgage platform. On top of its custom portfolio of marketing materials, around-the-clock Operations support, and robust lender optionality, UMortgage created its Level Up Sales Coaching program to connect its LOs with top producers and leading minds within the mortgage industry.

These small-group coaching sessions led by UMortgage leaders and Branch Managers feature innovative technology to track sales activities and improve lead conversion, a structured curriculum to foster individual and collective growth, and valuable resources to offer referral partners and clients.

Structured Curriculum Driven By Innovative Technology

Level Up Sales Coaching has a lasting impact on its students by breaking down long-term goals into smaller, repeatable sales activities that drive desired outcomes. At the beginning of a Level Up semester, students outline their target gross income and desired work schedule with their coaches.

These goals are then plugged into Level Up technology — an app that tracks these targeted figures and presents tangible outcomes such as new leads, credit pulls, pre-approvals, locks, and fundings per month. The actions needed to generate these sales metrics are further broken down into sales activities like phone calls, face-to-face meetings, events hosted, online posts, and casual meetings over lunch or coffee.

Level Up’s 60-minute bi-weekly sessions allow students to review their sales activities with their dedicated coaches to determine what’s effective in helping convert sales activities into leads and the subsequent actions that turn leads into funded loans. These groups are broken down into a small setting of 3-to-5 Loan Originators being led by a sales coach, which we’ll expand further on in the next section.

Industry-Leading Sales Coaches

UMortgage’s Level Up Sales Coaches are carefully selected by its program leaders — Tyler Hodgson, EVP of Growth, and Sam Abazari, Director of Coaching. Among each semester’s coaches are UMortgage’s top-producing branch managers and members of its executive leadership team.

By leaning on the expertise of these experienced and successful mortgage professionals, Level Up students can workshop their approach to the different sales activities identified through their Level Up app.

With a more intimate classroom setting, students have more time to workshop their approach to their sales activities with their expert coaches. When students are assigned their coach, individual factors such as experience level, loan specialties, and location are all taken into account to ensure students can learn from a teacher who has been in their shoes before.

Value Offerings for Real Estate Agent Partners

As a member of UMortgage’s Level Up Sales Coaching program, students can invite their real estate agent partners to exclusive monthly training sessions specifically catered to help agents grow their businesses and increase their client conversion rates.

Each month, students’ agent partners receive access to a new, unique training session covering various topics, from prospecting to lead conversion, follow-up with past clients, and more.
