Embrace Home Loans recently held its first-ever sales conference in Newport, R.I. More than 300 Loan Officers, Processors and other industry professionals learned productivity, social media, marketing and personal growth strategies.
Attendees learned how to leverage Embrace's MBS Highway sales tool to increase production and how to leverage new loan programs, such as HomeReady for low- and moderate-income buyers.
 
Steve Richman, a highly recognized sales trainer with Genworth Mortgage Insurance, spoke about the need for mortgage professionals to avoid common business clichés and the need to focus on updating their business plans to improve communication and differentiate themselves from competitors.
 
In the photo above, Embrace conducted a Charity Happy Hour, where attendees voted for vendor’s choice of charitable organization. The organization that won the most votes was the Keri Anne O’Donnell Memorial Fund, which provides scholarships and grants for young people to further their education in the performing arts.
