Little business promo for you guys
I wanted to figure out a way to spark interest as a mortgage broker paying for advertising rates in a car forum. I'm paying to be a vendor here so I might as well vend, right? 
Well I asked the lawyers of my company if I could post my offer and they said it would be fine seeing how the referral is cut from my check book and not the companies account.
I decided to ask seeing how there wasn't too much interest in this thread where I beat around the bush: https://www.i-club.com/forums/teh-politics-forum-114/golden-horizon-mtg-benefits-got-referrals-105149/
So I've decided to post my offer so long as I stress the fact the referral money is my own personal money (which it is). Some of you already know what the offer is. But for those of you that don't I figure what the hell...
It's as simple as this: You refer a client (family, friend, etc) to me for a deal (refinance, purchase, whatever) and I will buy you a gift certificate with my personal money for parts/services from S-Squared (or vendor of your choice) at the close of escrow.
It'll be 15% of whatever I make off the deal. It won't be 15% of the check from escrow as that is a no no. It'll be my personal money after a percentage of the escrow check is taken for state & company fees. OR you can opt for 10% straight in-pocket cash instead of the 15% gift certificate.
If that amount exceeds or is equal to $600 I have no choice but to 1099 you though.
How does it work if Scott convinces T-Will to use me? I think 10% for in-house referrals is sufficient.
What do you think?

Oh boy! That's a great idea. I'll start spreading the word. I'm out my favorite loan officer, because he dumped my best friend. So at some point in the future I myself will be in the market.
