The Hershman Group announced that it has released its online OriginationPro Mortgage School to fulfill the needs of the mortgage industry.
“The mortgage industry has grown old since the financial crisis," said Dave Hershman,founder of the OriginationPro Mortgage School. "Because of a multitude of factors, the average age of the sales force is now over 50 years of age. Our on-line school is designed to be flexible and affordable, as well as comprehensive.”
The school contains four modules, the syllabi for which can be downloaded at OriginationPro.com:
►The World of Mortgages: Basic knowledge for anyone entering the industry, including operations personnel. Highly recommended for those about to take the NMLS licensing exam for candidates without previous experience in the industry.
►Advanced Mortgage Knowledge: Designed to convert loan officers from competent to expert mortgage advisors.
►Building Business Success: A comprehensive treatment of marketing and sales for all business models.
►Building and Leading a Mortgage Production Team: Recruiting, assessment and mentoring skills for mortgage managers.
“The vast majority of our sales managers are producing and thus do not have the time or expertise to mentor novices in this industry, let alone assess candidates who might be successful. Therefore, assessment guides and mentorship training will be as important as the overall curriculum. This is why we have decided to create the Certified Mortgage Mentor designation, as well as our previous designation of Certified Mortgage Advisor.”
