Meet The Head Coach That Helps Mortgage Professionals 2X and 3X Their Production…

Hi, my name is Cindy Ertman.

Founder of The Defining Difference and both Mortgage Mastermind Elite and Millionaire Mortgage Club.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve been helping hundreds of driven mortgage professionals just like you double, even triple their production.

But I’m not just a coach…

Before I began mentoring, I spent 20 wonderful years creating my legacy in the mortgage industry.

I spent over a decade on Mortgage Originator Magazine’s list of Top 100 Mortgage Loan Originators…

Five years on Mortgage Executive Magazine’s list of Top 100 Most Influential Mortgage Executives in America…

I built high-impact teams, grew my personal production to over $200M annually…

And I discovered something early in my career…

 

Quickly becoming a top-performing mortgage professional doesn’t just happen!

You can hustle all you want… Work all the hours you can squeeze in… But it won’t make you a top performer.

If all it took to be successful was hard work EVERYONE WOULD BE DOING $200M IN PRODUCTION!

See, there is a secret that I discovered the hard way…

Anyone can become a top performer using a strategy that works.

Get Custom-Matched with a Coach Who Knows Your Revenue Model Thoroughly

The problem is no one is teaching mortgage professionals what steps to take.

And my goal this year is to help 100 more driven mortgage professionals…

  • Prepare for the biggest shift the market has EVER seen
  • Build a strong team and transform them into production machines
  • Double or triple their personal production right now
  • Grow from no market presence into a thriving branch immediately
  • Accomplish all of their goals while creating a low-stress, seven-figure lifestyle while living life on their own terms!

So I’ve assembled a team of hand-picked, equally seasoned professionals to help you…

To give you proven production strategies that WILL increase your profitability and build sustainable businesses in low-volume markets…

  • Marketing strategies that are recession-proof
  • Better qualified borrowers
  • Increased margins
  • Lower cost of production
  • The ability to compete with online lenders
  • Or simply more confidence to lead your origination team to success

Your personal coach can help you identify what needs to be done… what changes need to be made, and… Help you put your custom solution into place.

That way you get the result you’re looking for and are free to enjoy your career again… By creating the kind of work-life balance that’s exceptional for people at your level.

So are the problems and solutions.

You won’t identify yours by just reading books, taking courses, or watching YouTube content.

But in as little as 10 minutes with an experienced mortgage industry leader…

You can quickly identify one thing that will skyrocket your production and ensure your success in ANY market!

But I don’t want you to just take MY word for it…

What do mortgage professionals just like you are saying about Cindy Ertman’s private coaching experience…

My coaching experience has been a life altering event. I increased my production from $60M to $100M in my first year. Today, my production is in excess of $300M. I am working fewer hours and have become a true leader to my team. I highly recommend coaching with Cindy and The Defining Difference.

MICHELE TOWN

Branch Manager, Arbor Financial Group

I wanted to be coached by a top producer and someone who has a different take on coaching. Cindy is a force of nature, and she’s walked the walk. She doesn’t just focus on tactics. She also focuses on you the person: how to take care of yourself in a high-stress environment and still produce at a very high level. I have doubled my production and see it growing year after year.

DAN WHITE

Senior Loan Advisor, Fairway Independent Mortgage

It’s not about making more money. It’s about changing your life. It’s not about the things you do.  It’s about who you become. I’ve never known anybody who finds those trigger points that change somebody, [but] what I see Cindy do with people over and over is create those quantum changes. She changes who you are and takes you to the next level—not just as an originator, but as a person.

I was able to refine my recruiting efforts to grow my branch from 2 to 12 LOs in less than a year!

I think if I hadn’t made this investment in myself I’d still be doing the same old thing. I think we ask for change, we visualize it, but we don’t know how to really get there. Coaching with The Defining Difference truly helped me lay out the path in front of me and be held accountable to my goals.

Sales Supervisor at U.S. Bank

Today I’m up $20M over last year in a challenging market!

After 42 years in the mortgage business, I couldn’t break $38M. Within 2 years of coaching with Cindy, my production went from $38M to $58M to $132M, serving nearly 600 families. Cindy and her coaching programs have transformed my leadership, my business, and my life.

[Cindy] has transformed my leadership, my business, and my life.

My life would not be anywhere close to where it is financially and I’ve seen a trajectory I never thought was possible.

I came to a point in my career where ‘I didn’t know what I didn’t know’. [My coach] helped me build a team so I could continue to grow. Now everyone is in place, happy, operating within their skill sets and we are humming like a well-oiled machine. I was also able to find work-life balance by setting clear non-negotiables.

I’ve elevated my leadership abilities. I’m now able to show up as the leader that I always wanted to be. It has influenced my branch results significantly in such a positive way – the way I show up for my LOs, how I lead them from the heart and help them become the best version of themselves. This has been the most valuable coaching I’ve ever received.

I’ve been in various coaching programs. TDD Coaching has taught me how to be intentional in my business and my personal life. Cindy teaches from the heart, putting the pieces together and helping you get to your ‘why’ faster. My coaching experience has taught me to be more grateful for all that I have, to be more present as a dad and husband, and a leader. It’s also taught me to aim higher in my goals, to remove limitations in my mindset and believe that my most ambitious goals are possible.

BRIAN SEWELL
Producing Branch Manager at Guild Mortgage

Had such a big impact on my life overall I feel more empowered to live my life and my dream with courage and I’m motivated to take on the world! Coaching with TDD has helped me find a new direction for my business. I have become a better leader with more vision, which has enabled me to hire better LOs and provide a better product for my clients.
