How can I advise people on NOT being boring with their marketing if I've NEVER done an exhibition for myself?! Sam Lindley was a brilliant person to do this with as she's so full of encouragement and is far more professional than me (I need to be balanced 😆) SO we offered riches and happiness (her) and free marketing advice (me). Exhibitions are great when they're so well run (massive thanks to Aaron Desmond) and so well attended (thanks to Aaron's amazing network!). The takeaways for me from this: 🎩DON'T BE BORING 🎉🎉🎉thinking outside the box is so much fun and gets noticed too 🎩Help people feel at ease and give them an opening or reason to talk to you 🎩Don't try to sell! Your aim should be making good connections and THAT'S the measure of success. 🎩Take the time to have a decent conversation I noticed there is that ever-present fear of being sold to, even at an exhibition. Remove that fear if you can, reassure that you want to know about them EVEN IF you're secretly dying to tell them how amazing you are.😆 No one starts a good relationship by feeling sold to - no one ever in the world. So give them free money 🤑and find out about THEM. Job done 🎩🎩🎩🎩

There are so many reasons why I am excited for this role with the New York Mortgage Bankers Association (NYMBA). One of the biggest reasons is #AI. How will AI affect the mortgage industry over the next 5 years? Will we see a reduction in origination costs and a reduction in processing and underwriting times? Will we leverage AI to provide greater access to mortgage financing in underserved areas? How will we balance the benefits of AI with fair housing concerns? Will we leverage AI to bring increased security to the mortgage process and reduce incidents of financial fraud? I don’t have the answers but I’m here for the journey! #nymba #ai #mortgagelending #homeownership #dataprivacy #privacylaw #privacylawyer #realestate #fintech #dglawny #dglawflorida
