    The brokers I've seen making the most money were in the office 9AM-9PM most days, give or take an hour at end of the day, or at least making sure their teams were for them to come in and close everything out

    To be succesful, 12+ hrs a day. Especially if you're on the east coast working deals in other time zones.

    To be mediocre 9-5. Those guys never last. They make 5k-8k a month, as an iso shop owner these type of guys are the worst usually as they develop a lazy corporate habit. New employees pick up off their habits and work less hours just like them. To thryve you want a shark environment (in a good way, hard work), so new employees have the bar set high.

    At least I'm helping the community. Your first post when you registered in April 2023 was asking for what the best debt consolidation company was. I hope you're just a newer broker who doesn't know terminology in this space.

    If you view this industry as a job, don't bother, but if you view it as a career, 50+ hours weekly. It is said to take 10,000 hours to become an expert in any given field, so with that being said, working 60 hours per week would take someone approx 3.5 years to attain expert status.

    It's not the hours or work....it's the quality of work. You can spend 100 hours a week throwing spaghetti against the wall to see if anything sticks. Learn a lot of products, pick industries where those products benefit owners, and pound.

    Exactly!

    Create a relationship with a few funders and learn their product as well as you can.
    You will be able to pitch approvals on the phone before you even have it and you'll be able to push the funders to get your offer funded within reason.

    You will be able to get deals done at higher dollar and longer terms if you maintain those relationships.

    But if you're looking for an average of hours there is non you just gotta hustle in this industry.
