Hi there!
Thank you very much for visiting my site, I am very happy to have you as my guest, and hopefully have you visiting frequently for all of your mortgage needs, I think you will find this site very resourceful.

Still reading? Good!
Before you go any further, I would first like to tell you a little bit about myself.
My name is Jay Conners and I have been working in the mortgage industry for more than fifteen years as a branch manager and as a loan officer, having followed in the footsteps of my father and my grandfather. I was recently married to my wife Allison, in June of 2004, and we live in Pennsylvania with our two cats MacArthur and Macy.

I am currently a partner in a lead generation company running a mortgage leads web site called Callprospect.com and an insurance leads web site known as USprospect.com.
My journey into this venture started nearly four and a half years ago when I was working for a mortgage company in Philadelphia.

Have you ever felt the pain of losing money to a mortgage lead company?
Well I certainly had, and it was very frustrating. Although I had some success with mortgage lead companies, the majority of them seemed to be bogus, selling me leads that were recycled or outdated, and then giving me such lame excuses such as "we don’t sell leads we sell opportunity"

Give me a break!
Then one day, while sipping coffee at the Dunkin Donuts up the street from our office, an associate of mine suggested to me that we begin collecting our own leads. The timing could not have been more perfect, and after about ten seconds of serious thinking, I was sold on the idea, and our venture together had begun.

Getting off the ground
We approached this venture from the view point of it being a hobby as opposed to a job. This approach seemed to lift some of the pressure off of us and allowed us to have fun with it, and make it very exciting and very interesting.
In time our hard work and research began to produce results, and although we didn't’t have many leads in the beginning, it was enough to keep us busy, make a little bit of money, and most of all, it motivated us to keep going.
As time rolled on, more and more leads started to roll in, to the point where we had more leads than we knew what to do with. It was at this time that the next step became obvious to us. We would begin to sell our mortgage leads on line. We even started to look at types of leads other than residential mortgage leads - commercial mortgage leads and credit repair leads.

Learning to fly
In the beginning, I have to tell you, it was tough, and very discouraging. And this is the reason:
When we spoke with prospective clients at mortgage companies and independent loan officers, we seemed to be always confronted with the same opening statement, "I have lost money to lead companies in the past" then followed by the question "what makes you different from other lead companies?"

DUNKIN DONUTS
So once again we found ourselves back at Dunkin Donuts brainstorming for ways to meet this new challenge.
It occurred to us that we in no way invented the mortgage lead business, but we had the ability to take some what of a different approach, and that approach would benefit the customer.

In short we designed a unique filter system to be added to our web site that allowed our customers to be in complete control of their money and their leads at all times. It gave them the power to set up their own spending limits according to their budget, and they were given the ability to shut their filters off, to prevent spending over the weekend, on holidays, or while they were on vacation.

We soon began to see ourselves as advocates in the mortgage industry, which brings us to this web-site where you can sign up for a free news letter loaded with tips, articles, featured stories, FAQ’s, and little known facts about the mortgage industry. I am confident that it will become a vital part of your continued success in the mortgage industry.
