Any seasoned brokers going?Is it worth spending money to have all the lenders/funders that call you all today ,harass you to your face?Call me shortsighted but the funders i do real business with have always flown to visit me or paid for a lunch,trip or the such.

Ricky,

part of the reason you feel this way is the reason some of us "independent contractors" feel that way and stay away from certain events and people.

We pay for everything, leads "rent", CRM etc etc . And when you come face to face with an employee of a Financial company who doesn't have a true sales background, he acts like he is doing you a favor talking to you and you are thinking "dude I can take my business anywhere and i make more money than you"

When they do that to you just walk away. Its Employee mentality vs sales mentality. Or take a swipe and laugh then walk away like I do.

They will never change their thinking
