Career Challenge: How to know if your company is a fiduciary for both your career and your family?

Here's a simple way to find out: call the person at the very top of your organization - whether it's the CEO, LLC Managing Partner, Bank Holding Company Chairman, or someone else in that high-ranking position. Not a sales manager or someone lower in the hierarchy, but the person whose name is in the news as the head of your company.

Call their mobile phone and ask for a $2,000 personal loan that you'll pay back in 12 months.

Outcome 1: If they answer your call and give you the loan, congratulations! You can rest assured that you're in good hands with a company that values its employees.

Outcome 2: If you can't find their cell number, they don't pick up, or they brush you off with excuses, it's time to find a company that truly values you and your career.

Just like our clients and partners, we all need a fiduciary - someone who will look out for our best interests and have our back, even during tough economic times.

If you need more than an employer, call me.

Reality of what is happening in the Economy Today - October 21, 2018

View the Economy this way.  

Does a boat run just as fast when its high tide as low tide?

The answer is yes if you pay attention and steer your boat watching your mapping and depth instruments with an experienced eye.  Like the tides, the Economy is Relative and steering is required no matter how big you think your boat is or how fast.  Without the medium in which a boat operates (water) and the medium a Mortgage Company Operates (Sustained Operating Capital) both can run a ground.  

Experience Matters because you do not know you hit ground until its too late.

Imitation Reinforces Southeast Mortgage is Effective

I truly get excited when competitors copy or mock what we do.  We have always

chased the horizon with a mindful eye on sustainability and benefit to our Shareholders.  Every day we find a new island as we voyage forward using innovative and effective tools.

SEM Innovations & Difference:
> 20001- Internal Appraisal Management
> CRM - Image based highly customized art that creates new applications for MLOs at no charge.  Also, capable of targeting market opportunity daily.
> Social Based relationship development (Social MAX Offices)
> Employee Stock Ownership Programs (Not an ESOP! ESOPs cash out an existing Owner)
> Media Studio in house with Partner Image services
> Video based awareness media with proprietary outreach programs
> Powerful Social Media Presence - Simply Drives Traffic & Sales to our Partners
> Life / Work Balance Corporate Center
> Best in Class Builder / Realtor support proven to increase Partner Sales
> Employees that Retire comfortably - who retired from your company?

Lately I have seen videos with our Green Screen Studio, Better Camera Work than the Selfie from a car, Professional Editing, Southeast signage, Announcing a CRM (SEM started its CRM in 2003), Mobile Applications, etc.  Imitation is Flattery.  

The problem with Imitation is you have to be able to execute the cool stuff into a monetization strategy.  Its similar to those announcing the next new loan program that they may close one this year.  Its better for your Employees and Owners to focus on better delivery of the 99% of the products you actually sell. 

Imitation reinforces our leadership in innovation and ability to disrupt the status quo.  As long as I can remember, the Mortgage Industry in Georgia has been primarily non-risk taking followers that tend to only do what the pack is doing.  The 2008-2009 Implode List filled up quickly due to this herd mentality.

I have found this is a dynamic industry.  You have to steer daily and innovate monthly to stay fresh and relevant.  If you do it well, MLOs, Partners, and Clients all benefit.  The scenery is always better from the front of the pack.

You have to work with those that have attained the success you want.  Look at your manager's lifestyle?  Have they attained the success you strive for?  Are they moving from company to company?  If not, how can they show you the way if they can't find sustainable success?  Since 1993, Southeast Mortgage of Georgia, Inc.  25 years of Innovation and Success.

The front of the pack is a better view!  Make your move !

If your company is always talking about Southeast Mortgage, come visit us and learn why.  If your "LLC or Family Owned Company" is not prepared to share ownership or equity, there is a path to ownership at SEM.
