Glenn Torres’ Post

In our latest episode of The GrowthTalk With Glenn, we had an insightful conversation with Tammie Crainich, a seasoned expert in the mortgage industry. She brought up a fascinating idea - what if business owners could help their employees buy houses? Not just any help, but gifting them the money to do so. Tammie believes such a program could be a game-changer, not just for the employees but also for the business owners. According to her, this act of generosity could transform the workplace dynamic, fostering loyalty beyond the typical paycheck exchange. Imagine the impact of an employer making such a profound difference in an employee's life. You're not just offering them a job; you're enabling them to secure a home. This isn't just about improving the quality of life for your staff, but also about creating a stronger, more dedicated team for your business. Tune into the latest episode of The GrowthTalk With Glenn to hear more about Tammie's unique perspective on the mortgage industry and decision-making. Let's redefine the relationship between employers and employees together. 👉Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e9AHRq2A Glenn Torres | 10X Business Consultant "Your Success Is My Biggest Commission" - GT

Here is some advice: Avoid accepting a large sign-on bonus. Why? Because it often comes with a claw-back clause, leaving you with limited negotiating power during that period. While it may seem crazy to turn down a substantial check, especially in the current hiring surge for mortgage originators, it's crucial to stay strategic. Prioritize understanding the company's trajectory, leadership, and financial stability. Ask critical questions like, "How will you support my business growth?" and "What steps will you take to help me reach my objectives?" Sign on bonus is a trap! #CareerAdvice #NegotiationTips #workatlower

In today’s fast-paced and competitive world, true success isn’t just about individual achievements; it’s about collaboration, support, and uplifting one another. My words highlight the growing shift towards a more community-centered approach in the mortgage industry. Rather than focusing solely on personal gain, professionals are now coming together to create greater opportunities, foster collaboration, and help one another grow. 🌱💼 For me, it’s not just about running a successful business—it’s about creating a positive impact on the industry and the people within it. At CMS Mortgage, this philosophy is core to everything they do: every client, every partner, and every team member matters. By lifting each other up, we’re all more likely to thrive. When we support one another, we build stronger foundations and create greater success for everyone involved. It’s about mentoring, sharing knowledge, and creating spaces where ideas, collaboration, and opportunity flourish. It’s not just about competition; it’s about working together to make the community better and stronger. 💪✨ My message is a reminder that no one achieves greatness alone. Success is a collective effort, and by prioritizing collaboration and lifting others up, we all rise. It’s time to step up, support each other, and show the world what’s possible when we work together for a common goal. 🌍💡 #CollaborationOverCompetition #CommunitySupport #CorrinaCarter #CMSMortgage #AIMECommunityPulse #UpliftEachOther #SuccessThroughUnity #BusinessWithPurpose #Leadership #WomenInBusiness #MakingADifference

“If you’re being seen, being heard, you’re going to get picked. So get in the rooms.” – Corrina Carter, President, Founder, and CEO of CMS Mortgage, shares powerful advice on the importance of visibility and making an impact in the mortgage industry. During my appearance on the AIME Community Pulse broadcast, I emphasized that opportunities don’t just come to those who wait—they come to those who put themselves out there and actively create the space for their voices to be heard. I am a firm believer that visibility is key to success, especially in an industry where connections and relationships drive growth. This message encourages professionals to step up, show up, and engage in the conversations that matter. Whether it’s at industry events, through social media, or in boardrooms, being present and vocal about your expertise and passion can open doors, foster meaningful relationships, and position you as a thought leader in your field. This insight is a reminder that success is often tied to being proactive, not just waiting for opportunities but actively creating them. So, if you want to make an impact, get in the rooms, speak your truth, and let your presence be known. 🌟 #VisibilityMatters #Leadership #CorrinaCarter #CMSMortgage #AIMECommunityPulse #IndustryImpact #Networking #WomenInBusiness #ProfessionalGrowth #ThoughtLeadership #MakeAnImpact #Empowerment

Mortgage Industry Truths They Don't Want You to Hear 🔥#OMG. Brace yourselves, this one's a doozy! Suzy Lindblom and I had a very long and engaging conversation and what was shared may shock you. With over 60+ combined years in the mortgage industry, Suzy and I decided to let it all hang out. I've created the highlights into a little over 3-minute must-watch video (LOL) that will make you question everything about our industry. We discussed: ·       How #technology may be hurting the mortgage industry ·       The #human need with our best #employees ·       The #SideHustle Dilemma and employee’s #trust ·       How failure creates #success ·       #GenZ business model and how they run their #business (Some of their actions and mindset) ·        What #leadership could do to create #dynamic #teams ·       How Gen-Z is #marketing & #branding their business ·       How #socialmedia and technology impacts our #emotions ·       Frogs ·       Suzy reveals why she transitioned to #consulting and her "why" for striving to transform corporate #cultures. One of the most honest conversation about #legacyleadership and what is not being shared out loud. This is the raw, unfiltered dialogue desperately needed to understand why morale is in the gutter (spoiler: it's not the market). If you're ready for a brutal truth bomb that will rattle your perceptions, watch now. Just be sure to pick your jaw up off the floor when we're done. No more playing by the rules - it's time to hear what really needs to be said.

** Moving from Wanting Change to Making It Happen ** We’ve all been there—wanting to change but never entirely taking the leap. Recently, I reflected on this common struggle and shared my thoughts in a new video. Here are some key insights: The Desire for Change: 🚫 Recognizing the Need: We often identify areas in our lives or careers that need improvement. 🚫 Visualizing the Goal: We picture the benefits and how life could be better after making the change. The Roadblocks to Action: 🚧 Fear of Failure: What if things don’t go as planned? This fear can paralyze us. 🚧 Comfort Zones: Staying in familiar territory feels safe, even if it’s not where we want to be. 🚧 Overwhelm: The path to change can seem daunting and unclear, making it hard to take the first step. Strategies to Move from Thinking to Doing: - Set Small, Achievable Goals: Break down your larger goal into manageable steps. Celebrate each small victory. - Create a Plan: Outline the actions needed to achieve your goal. A clear plan can reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed and provide direction. - Find Accountability: Share your goals with a mentor, friend, or colleague who can provide support and hold you accountable. - Embrace Failure as a Learning Opportunity: Understand that setbacks are part of the journey. Each failure brings valuable lessons. - Take the First Step: The hardest part is often just starting. Commit to taking one small action today. A Personal Challenge: I've decided to embrace these strategies and take action towards my goals. It’s time to stop thinking about change and start making it happen. Join me in this journey of transformation! What’s one small step you can take today toward your goal? Check out my latest video for insights and practical tips on overcoming inaction.
