Presidential Debate Teaches Us About Ability, Effort And Presenting Skills

Developing the Next Generation of Rainmakers Presidential Debate Teaches Us about Ability, Effort and Presenting Skills In 1996, I taped a Clinton-Dole debate. I didn’t tape it to make up my mind on the candidates. Instead, I taped it to learn more about persuasion. I no longer have the tape, but I remember being in awe of President Clinton and actually feeling sorry for Senator Dole. Were you one of the 58 million Americans who watched the debate Wednesday night? Regardless of your political party or who you want to be the next President, there was a great deal to learn about client development and presentation skills from watching the debate and the analysis that has been reported since. As you know, on Wednesday morning I posted: Presidential Debates, “Zingers” and Client Development. I suggested that the analysts and pundits would spend more time on debate performance and style than on substance. I was right, it has been hard to find any reports or analysis on substance, but plenty has been written and reported on the differences between the candidates on: While there were no “zingers,” in the debate, because the analysis focused on debate performance, there was wide agreement in the outcome. Given that the CNN poll of likely voters who actually watched the debate found that 67% concluded Romney had won, there was little to discuss other than why. (Did you see where Al Gore blamed it on the altitude in Denver?) Yesterday, I gave a presentation on starting right for career success to 110 Baylor Law School students. Driving to Waco and back took two hours each way. Other than stopping in West, Texas at the Czech Bakery  for  kolaches, it was a really boring drive. I listened to the three news networks on my satellite radio. When a network went to commercial or to covering the “real” news, I switched channels. Since it was so clear that Governor Romney did extremely well and President Obama did not, the discussion focused on why the President did so poorly and looked unprepared. Do a Google search for the last 24 hours and you will find many very interesting perspectives. To show how social media has changed things, one of the top sites in my Google search was a US News post:  15 Tweets That Explain Why Obama Lost the First Debate. I recently wrote: Client Development: Change what you think it takes to succeed  and  Lawyers: Here Are Two “Must Have” Presentation Skills. Neither blog post had anything to do with the debate and I was not thinking about it when I wrote them. But,  what I wrote about effort, preparation and the must have presentation skills demonstrate, at least in part, why Governor Romney did so well and President Obama did so poorly. In one paragraph, political analyst, Jeff Greenfield, made both of my points:  After the debate debacle for Obama, we’ll find out if we have a race. He said: Yes, it wasn’t the best atmospherics for Obama to look down, purse his lips, appear distracted, while Romney was attentive, engaged, relaxed. But this was much more than atmospherics. This was about one candidate who came with a frame for the evening, and who was prepared to engage on every question; and another who, perhaps because of his documented faith in his own abilities, felt he could wing it with snatches of familiar verbiage. In my presentation skills post, I wrote about the importance of body language in public speaking. Greenfield accurately described the President’s body language. Interestingly, like the Nixon-Kennedy debate, when I could only listen to the debate soundbites on Satellite radio, it seemed much different than when I saw the very same soundbite. In my change what you think post, I argued that  effort frequently trumps ability.    As Greenfield points out, the President may have thought he could wing it because of his belief in his ability. How many times do you suppose President Obama has been told that he is  a “gifted” speaker? How many times do you suppose Mitt Romney has been told that he needs to “better connect” with the audience? I wish, I could see a recording of the Obama debate preparation and compare it to the Romney debate preparation. At the very least, based on what we all saw Wednesday night, Romney likely made a greater and more focused effort to prepare. When a speaker is well prepared, his body language generally exudes the confidence he feels. I want to restate my two main points from the blog posts:     I practiced law for 37 years developing a national construction law practice representing some of the top highway and transportation construction contractors in the US.

Alexander Lyman Holley

Alexander Lyman Holley Alexander Lyman Holley Alexander Lyman Holley In the event that Britains Sir Henry Bessemer was the dad of the steel business, at that point Alexander Lyman Holley was the central planner and architect of its ascent in the U.S. During his brief however surprisingly gainful profession, Holley brought Bessemers progressive steel fabricating procedure to the states, enhanced it, and assumed a basic job in building twelve of the countries most significant Bessemer steel works.

Despite the fact that the familys riches and associations (and his own hearty keenness) situated him for a recognized profession in law or legislative issues, Holley was fixated on hardware and the endless test of making things work better. While examining science and building at Brown University in Providence, RI, Holley got useful involvement with train building and plan at a few nearby organizations. While still in school he distributed and licensed his first creation, a steam-motor cut-off valve. His enthusiasm for railroad innovation prompted a dear companionship with Zerah Colburn, a conspicuous rail designer and creator. Holley and Colburn voyaged Europe via train, recording the further developed condition of that mainlands rail frameworks for the benefit of top U.S. railroad administrators. Their treatises regarding the matter motivated interest in foundation overhauls back home. Holleys own abstract advantages came to fruition now, as he started a productive side vocation as a columnist, specialized artist, and distributer of diaries on railroad advancements. He composed various reference works, specialized books, and articles for a wide scope of claim to fame and general intrigue distributions, including the New York Times, where he served for a long time as a specialized journalist. On his movements, Holley educated of Bessemers new steel-production process, in which compacted air was blown over liquid crude iron to evacuate polluting influences, making great steel far less lavishly than customary strategies. Specialized issues and an absence of logical comprehension of the basic metallurgical procedures blocked the strategies wide acknowledgment in Britain, yet Holleys blade production line foundation and Ivy League preparing empowered him to see the energizing capability of the Bessemer procedure. In 1863, Holley bought the rights to bring the Bessemer procedure to the U.S. Ten of his 15 lifetime licenses were for enhancements in the process that adjusted it for conditions in the U.S. Before long, colossal Bessemer steel works came to fruition in urban areas like Troy, NY, and Harrisburg, PA. These and twelve other steel towns over the modern east took care of the countries developing want modest, top notch Bessemer steel. Holleys plants produced steel for the scaffolds, railroads, high rises, and war vessels that would make the U.S. the most grounded monetary force on the planet. Similarly as with his news-casting, Holleys proficient undertakings were intended for bringing individuals of various foundations together around key points in science and designing. His enthusiasm for research-driven advancement in the act of designing drove him to assume a fundamental job in the establishing of the countries most significant expert associations focused on training, normalization, and disciplinary greatness. He was viewed as a main soul in the establishing of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and he led the principal meeting of its establishing individuals in 1880. His endeavors assisted with encircling the scholarly boundaries of the mechanical designing calling and of the ASME association itself. He assumed comparable jobs in the production of the Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers (AIME), and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The break-neck pace of Holleys work in the end negatively affected his wellbeing. He kicked the bucket from peritonitis in 1882 at age 49. Not exactly 10 years after his passing, the three associations with which he was most firmly connected ASME, ASCE, and AIME united to commission the 12 foot tall bronze and limestone Holley remembrance, which despite everything fills in as a famous gathering spot in Manhattans Washington Square Park. Today, similarly as he did throughout everyday life, Holley keeps on uniting individuals. Michael MacRae is an autonomous author. Holley's factories produced steel for the extensions, railroads, high rises, and war vessels that would make the U.S. the most grounded financial force on the planet.

And there will consistently be a piece of me that rails against estimating everything. In any case, I've discovered the facts demonstrate that estimating progress is basic to knowing where you stand, liking how far you've come, and remaining concentrated on what's significant. For this situation, carrying your best self to work â€" and the world. Estimating progress is basic to liking how far you've come At the point when It's Hard to Measure With regards to estimation, it would be simple on the off chance that we were machines. All things considered, machines are intended to work at a specific speed and inside specific resistances, so ideal execution is quantifiable. Be that as it may, we people are unique. It's increasingly abstract. The assignments we're fit for change after some time since we learn and develop. The desires for us change too as we gain understanding and mastery. Along these lines, conveying our best can look and feel changed at various occasions in our lives. Layered what's more, it's kin â€" others just as ourselves â€" who are doing the surveying. With every one of our disparities in recognition, it's even less clear. Things being what they are, how would you realize when you're in your best zone? How might you monitor how you're doing? Measure What's in Your Control I accept that top execution and being at your best is an individual measure. For a few of us, it's adequate to simply know it when we see or feel it. Like the US Supreme Court's decision on erotic entertainment: I know it when I see it.

Measurements The key thing about the measurements is to pick things that you can control. Put another way, on the off chance that you require splendid daylight to be at your best and you live in London, at that point you will make some hard memories with your presentation! One approach to get at your own arrangement of measurements is to begin by considering what you're similar to even from a pessimistic standpoint. You can utilize that to produce your rundown of what to watch out for to remain in your best self zone. For me, my most noticeably awful self is: Gloomy â€" getting down on myself, letting that shading everything else, considering the to be as pretty about void Crotchety â€" raging at individuals who are attempting to make accommodating recommendations, being repulsive and difficult to comfort Dreadful â€" having my consider the possibility that manufacturing plant on over-burden, permitting that to prevent me from making a move, being on edge and stressed, seeing various most pessimistic scenario situations and envisioning my way through every one of them. Hesitant â€" stuck in examination loss of motion Delaying â€" not completing things At that point, it's really simple to take a gander at the flipside of that. For instance, I have to screen the degree to which I am: Being sympathetic with myself, ricocheting once more from mishaps, and searching for approaches to push ahead Rewarding others with thoughtfulness and appreciation Being brave and relentless Settling on choices and proceeding onward Making a move Or on the other hand, you could take a gander at some more extensive all inclusive classifications and recognize your own particular measurements inside each. Here's a model that works for me: Mentality: Am I being valiant? Positive? Empowered? Am I originating from a position of bounty? Have I been caring with myself as well as other people? Social cooperations: How have I rewarded individuals and manufactured connections? How have I conveyed â€" am I listening intently and talking unquestionably? Who have I enabled? What have I shared? How have I worked together? Needs: Have I set the correct needs? Have I met them? Have I stayed concentrated on what is important most? Results: Was I clear on the meaning of achievement and how to gauge it? Did I set practical targets? Did I convey what I concurred? Have I continued? Strength: Did I bob again from misfortunes? Following With respect to following frameworks, you could make a spreadsheet, utilize a diary or put it into Evernote and experience these classes toward the finish of every day. On the off chance that you ask yourself how much have I [insert metric]… , then you can rate yourself on a size of 1 (most reduced) to 10 (most noteworthy) and enter numbers into the spreadsheet.

Managing Your Real Estate Listings Efficiently

Managing Your Real Estate Listings Efficiently Key Points of Successful Real Estate Listing Presentations Presentations are scary. Listing presentations can be scarier. As you may know, a listing presentation lets you, the real estate agent, state why you are the best person to list a property. But beginning and veteran real-estate agents alike find them daunting, because they have a very specific format that must be followed. So what should this important document (and your presentation) include? A real estate listing presentation or real estate video presentation must be specific to the property, to the local market and to the economic climate. A generic presentation is destined to fall flat. If a vender wants you to prepare a presentation, you have to be well-versed in the property’s earnings potential before your pitch. This requires familiarity with the lease. Take a look at income potential, tenant history and lease details. You should also thoroughly inspect the property and the neighborhood. This will give you a detailed perspective and first-hand knowledge of local conditions. Knowing the local market is central to your handling of the property and will show the seller that you understand the target market. As you pin down the property’s ideal target market, think about how you will promote the property. Prepare detailed recommendations for a marketing strategy. A summary of the target market will establish your reasons for proposing specific marketing tactics. List the strengths and weaknesses of the property. Summarize renovations or other alterations that you suggest be made to the property before it is made available. Study the emerging property developments in the area. Make sure you explain the strengths and weaknesses of any nearby competing properties and how they will affect the listing. Youll need to back your points up with evidence. Take representative snapshots and have them available on your laptop on presentation day. Youll need them to make your points, and no doubt the seller will ask to see what youre talking about. Study the local market history, paying special attention to rents and prices for that class of property. Be ready to cite these figures in support of your recommendations for the pricing of the property. Be ready to explain the sellers investment relative to property price (given current market conditions). Make sure to mention any recent property inquiry; that is, who’s been asking and what they’re asking about. Include the key attributes of your proposal in an executive summary that is no more than two pages long. This should be followed by a property brief that explains the requirements of the client and the stipulations of the sale. Youll also include a detailed property description that covers title, leases, encumbrances, rights of way, and any other orders or notices that affect the sale. Finally, youll need to include a personal bio and information about the agency you work for. Include a timeline and details about what services you intend to provide. Youll need an agency disclosure, which is a document stating whether you will represent the buyer, seller or both. Dont forget, listing presentations are your chance to edge out the competition and instill confidence. You want the seller to be absolutely convinced that you’ll get the best price in the shortest amount of time. Preparation and organization will earn you the chance to do just that.

You may have something unpleasant composed on paper, some place, and in the rear of your psyche, you sort of know where you need to go, and how you need to arrive, yet that is sufficiently bad. Plunk down and take a few hours, or even days, making sense of the intricate details of your business. What are the likely detours? What achievements would you like to accomplish, and when do you hope to see a benefit?

The Message Is All Me, Me, Me… It's not astonishing that this slip-up is made. All things considered, numerous entrepreneurs have poured hard work into the beginning up, and they're pleased with it. Presently, they need to tell the world how wonderful this new item or administration is. What's more, that is a colossal misstep. Nobody minds how great your item is. Nobody minds that you have an astonishing new help. Nobody anticipates yet all the more selling messages, and they positively couldn't care less that you state you're extraordinary. All they need to know is how might this benefit them. In what manner will it set aside them time or cash? In what capacity will it improve their lives? In what manner will they have the option to go through only a minimal expenditure to get a tremendous fulfillment return? Make your message about them. Use you and your in your pitches. Concentrate on their requirements, and they will purchase on the off chance that you have an approach to address them. The Business Is Inadequately Prepared for Customers Here's the issue with an extraordinary item combined with incredible promoting - it works. It works so well that it can shock a private venture totally, over-burdening it with orders that bring about a loathsome first encounter for the client.

The Target Audience Is Not Identified You may imagine that everybody can utilize your item or administration, yet publicizing to everybody is promoting to nobody. It is a finished exercise in futility and cash to toss out a crusade with an expansive objective. Envision an angling team making a huge net and tossing it into some arbitrary piece of the sea. Will they get what they need? Will they even get anything they can sell at the market? Odds are, they'll get a great deal, yet just a portion will be of any utilization. The equivalent applies to your advertising. You have to realize exactly who to point it at. That implies breaking down the socioeconomics, holding center gatherings to get criticism around the item or administration you need to sell, and refining these outcomes. You need to know the sex, age, occupation, leisure activities, and pay of the individuals who are well on the way to purchase from you. Utilize a laser center to get them. When you have set up deals to this littler crowd, informal exchange will spread, and you can enlarge the net somewhat. The Competitive Landscape Is Ignored It's exceptionally far-fetched that your business is one of a kind. Indeed, you may have put an exceptional turn on something, or you've made a greater, better mousetrap. Yet, all in all, you will be going toward a ton of different organizations offering essentially similar items or administrations that you offer. What's more, on the off chance that you don't have the foggiest idea about this early, you will without a doubt lose all sense of direction in the messiness. Take a gander at everything your nearest rivals are doing. Take a gander at the promotions and social crusades that the exceptions of your industry are making. What are they promising? Who are they focusing on? Is there a hole in the market that you can fill? Dollar Shave Club was the same old thing; an organization selling razors in a market commanded by large brands and smooth crusades. However, Dollar Shave Club made an advertisement so ridiculous, and fair, and entertaining, that it became famous online and made a short-term achievement. On the off chance that they had attempted to market to men similarly as Schick and Gillette, they would have blurred into lack of clarity. Rather, they're flourishing. Discover your point. Separate yourself. In the event that it doesn't look or feel like an advertisement for your industry, congrats! You may simply be distinctive enough to stick out. In this way, gain from these five mix-ups, and kick off a battle that will truly have any kind of effect to your business.

Alexandra Levits Water Cooler Wisdom Why Corporate Training Must Be Part of Your Mix

Alexandra Levit's Water Cooler Wisdom Why Corporate Training Must Be Part of Your Mix As a workforce author, researcher, and consultant, I observed many organizations that were concerned about a labor shortage brought about by baby boomer retirement. This shortage, and the skills gaps that went along with it, was partially delayed in part by the financial crisis and subsequent recession, because many baby boomers lost savings and wereworking past traditional retirement age1. Many baby boomers, born 1946-64, are now in their 70s, and the time has come for them to exit the workforce. According to a recent report by theFederal Reserve2, industrialized nations like the U.S. are facing a shortage of working-aged professionals, and employers need enough qualified employees to survive. In my experience working with dozens of companies over the last decade, I’ve seen that corporate training and development can be an effective solution to this problem. As more senior roles are vacated, corporate training, particularly for succession planning, may be a good vehicle for mid-level professionals to master skills like team leadership, business acumen, strategic planning, conflict resolution, and decision-making. All Employees, All Levels One of the topics I write about most is increasingautomation and machine participation3, and given this trend, I believe that even employees who will not become senior leaders must continuously upskill or reskill to maintain their value within the organization. The days of having one degree and one corresponding skillset may be numbered, because if that skillset is automated, what then? Corporate training provides one way to diversify what each individual employee can contribute and the variety of roles he or she can hold. There are other benefits besides skill acquisition. I’ve written that despite technological advances,productivity in most organizations is lagging4. Corporate training is one method for adjusting your processes, targeting efficiency so employees can better perform tasks and focus their energies more specifically on company goals. I have personally seen that many organizations with solid corporate training initiatives keep their people longer because the employees appreciate the investment in their development. And, I’ve observed that organizations that do right by their people are perceived as having strong brands that customers want to support.

Why People Fear Giving Their Manager Feedback

Why People Fear Giving Their Manager Feedback Mary has a Director who comes in EVERY DAY between 9 and 10 when her team is supposed to be there at 8. While the boss, the Executive Director, talked with the person, the tardiness continues. Because this Director is allowed to come in late every day it has affected morale within the department. According to Mary, no one says anything to the E.D. because “…we dont want a target on our back. Others have been pushed out by our E.D., so we don’t dare speak up.” Unfortunately, Mary is not alone in witnessing bad behavior from management. In a recent survey, we asked 1,335 employees to disclose their boss’ significant weaknessâ€"one that everyone knows and discusses covertly to each other, but not directly with their manager. Asking the question was like opening the flood gates on managers behaving badly. Eight out of 10 participants responded with a colorful “open secret” about their boss’ behavior. According to our respondents, the top five weaknesses bosses have but don’t know they have included: Overwhelmed and inadequate A poor listener Biased and unfair Distant and disconnected Disorganized and forgetful It’s clear people have intense and pervasive frustrations with their boss, and yet they don’t feel safe or able to give their manager feedback. So, instead of speaking up, they vent to each other. Essentially, everyone is aware of and annoyed by the boss’ shortcomingsâ€"everyone that is, except for the boss. But why is feedback so one-sided? According to our study, the primary reasons people report for their office-wide silence run the gamut. Some fear speaking up would offend their manager, others say it would cause their boss to retaliate or hurt their career. And many felt their workplace culture doesn’t actually support people airing concerns and frustrations. Finally, a large portion of people simply had a skill gapâ€"they didn’t know what to say or how to bring it up. But regardless of the reasons for holding their tongue, the silence is a symptom of an accountability crisis sweeping corporate America. This crisis does more that propagate bad behavior, it erodes results. That’s because the health of any organization, team, or relationship is a function of the average lag time between when people identify and discuss problems. In healthy teams, when people see something, they say something. In weak teams, performance problems, concerns, and errors remain unchecked which eventually erode results and relationships. To improve the health and success of any team, shorten the lag time between when people see something and say something. The good news is, there are a handful of skills people can use to confront a misbehaving manager and reduce the accountability gap. These skills help people step up to performance discussions while also preserving relationships and results: Work on you first, the boss second.  Get your emotions in check by looking for how you may be adding to the problem. It isn’t that the boss doesn’t have faults; it’s that most people tend to exaggerate their boss’s problems and ignore how they may be contributing. Hold the right conversation. Most people  think  they are giving their boss feedback but fail to get to the real issue that concerns them. For example, if your fundamental concern is that your boss doesn’t respect you or that you don’t trust your boss â€" you have to find a way to discuss that issue without skirting around it. Start with safety.  It can be tough to tell your boss you don’t trust him or her. But it is completely possible to do so without rupturing the relationship if you can help your boss feel safe. People feel psychologically safe when they know you care about their interests and respect  them. Start with: “I have a concern I’d like to discuss. It’s important to me, but it’s also something I think will help me work more effectively. May I discuss it with you?” Facts first.  Don’t start with your harsh judgments or vague conclusions. For example, “I don’t trust you” or “You’re a control freak.” Instead, start with the facts. Strip out any judgmental or provocative language and be specific. For example, “After you told me you brought me up for a promotion in the HR meeting, two people at that meeting e-mailed me and asked me why I wasn’t recommended by you.” About the author: Joseph Grenny is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, keynote speaker, and leading social scientist for business performance.

Why Happy Employees Leave

Why Happy Employees Leave In a post-industrial economy, more of us are able to choose what we want to do for work. What we want is something personal. Something unique. A recent study by the London School of Business and Finance found that 47% of professionals in the UK want to change jobs. That figure jumped to 66% among Millennials (people aged between 20 and 34). Another report found that nearly half of workers in the UK plan to quit their jobs this year. Cheating on your company is in, it seems. The question is,  why  do happy employees leave? Moreover, why do they leave jobs they genuinely enjoy? For the past 10 years I’ve worked in the people business. Either as a recruiter or startup founder, I’ve met with thousands of company leaders, all of which have had trouble keeping  top talent. This is my best attempt so far at explaining  why: Increased connectivity,  increased temptation It’s never been easier to cheat on your employer and it’s never been easier to get caught. Changes in technology, attitude and lifestyle have led to huge levels of job dissatisfaction. The emergence of increasingly convenient job platforms and communication apps have practically eliminated the time taken in moving jobs. From setting up alerts from job board aggregators like Indeed to searching hashtags,  the pain  in looking for suitable openings has been reduced. Less dependence on salary as income Even in an economic downturn many skilled workers are confident that they can easily find a new job if they get fired for getting caught interviewing elsewhere. An emergence of supplementary income streams from the sharing economy, such as selling our things on Ebay and renting our house on Airbnb, to becoming a part-time Uber driver have reduced the fear of losing our jobs.  With exponential advancements in technology the long predicted adoption of portfolio careers might soon become a reality. Cheating is less obvious What constitutes cheating on your company? Is it attending a job interview behind your employers back? Is it attending an event  hosted by a competitor? Is it following companies of interest on social media? As the lines become blurred, what it means to cheat  becomes harder to define, and consequently the associated taboos diminish. Attending job interviews whilst still employed is universally frowned upon  yet  universally practiced, and will continue to exist unless a radical approach is taken by companies to resolve it. Image crafting Constant social connectivity has had a huge effect on how happy we think we are at work. By relentlessly comparing our work lives to others on social media we have raised our expectations as to what we want from a career. Paul Harvey, professor at the university of New Hampshire has studied Gen Y workers, and comments: “A great source of frustration for people with a strong sense of entitlement is unmet expectations. They often feel entitled to a level of respect and rewards that aren’t in line with their actual ability and effort levels, and so they might not get the level of respect and rewards they are expecting.” Worse still, we’re not even comparing ourselves in a fair way. For a post to be shared on Facebook it usually needs to be inherently remarkable, so we end up comparing our back catalogue  to our friends greatest hits! Loyalty is the new shame Career monogamy used to mean one company for life; today it’s more like one company at a time. We used to hope a company would pick us, thank our lucky stars if it did and then wait patiently to climb the career  ladder.  Today, we pick the company and stop courting other companies, if only for the time being. Where leaving a good job at  a good company used to cause shame, today choosing to stay with a company when you can leave is the new shame. No one is  specifically congratulated for staying with  their company. No likes, no comments, no emojis. Everyone gets to brag about their awesome new job. Loyalty is the new shame. Increased expectations We expect so much from our employers today. A place where I make some of my best friends. A place that constantly challenges and progresses me. A place that motivates me intrinsically. A place that stimulates me intellectually and supports my wants and my desires, and believes me to be   indispensable, irreplaceable and exceptional. Today we’ve never been more inclined to stray, not because we have new desires to pursue, but because we live in a world where we feel entitled to pursue those desires. It  is a  culture of I deserve to be happy.  We used to leave a company because we were  unhappy, today we leave because we could be happier. Summary When a career was an economic enterprise, then getting caught interviewing elsewhere threatened our economic security. Now that careers are increasingly becoming designed by personal preference and not necessity, we no longer need to find a sensible and safe job to hold onto. Instead we can find ways to do something we love and fund our lifestyle in various other ways. It’s not that we’re ungrateful; were just lured by the power of the forbidden. Ever since Adam ate the apple we’ve been naturally curious. It is not so much that we are looking for another job, as much as we are looking for another version of ourselves. A more adventurous one.

Confessions of a Former Sub-Prime Lender

Confessions of a Former Sub-Prime Lender So most of us are to the point where we can’t handle hearing one more negative news story on the recession, failing banks or the bail out.   Personally, I think we had it coming to us.     I think back to my first job after college where I was selling sub-prime mortgages for one of the largest and most reputable financial institutions in the world.   My experience there is the perfect example of why I feel this way.     For those of you who aren’t familiar, sub-prime lending is when financial institutions give loans to customers with less than ideal credit scores.   These customers are considered high risk and get loans at a higher rate than someone with good credit.     At my job, we were trained to believe that we were doing something great for our customers!   That 12% interest rates plus 3 points (3 points = an upfront cost of 3% of the mortgage amount added to the loan balance) on mortgage refinances was totally normal.   I found this interesting considering the mortgage rate at that time was about 7% with no points.     I was told that giving a hardworking customer a loan for more than their house was worth was GREAT because we were paying off their $70,000 in credit card debt and reducing their monthly payments.   One time, I did a mortgage refinance which used the equity in the customer’s home to pay off their brand new Cadillac Escalade, because the $800 monthly car payments were “really killing them”…(Um hello, do you REALLY need an Escalade?!?)   Of course we mainly closed Adjustable Rate Mortgages (aka ARM’s) that I knew the customers wouldn’t be able to afford once the rate adjusted upwards.   We took  ALL the equity out of their homes which they had worked their whole lives to pay for which means they’d have no nest egg for the future.     I could go on, but I think you understand why my time at this company lasted only a short time.   Although not all the mortgages I closed were as extreme as the examples above, I couldn’t sleep at night knowing what I was doing to make a living.   Even as a ripe newbie, something just didn’t feel right.   Turning on the news almost 3 years later shows that my gut feelings were right.   Americans and their big corporations had this coming.   Credit was way too easy to get, it seems like almost anyone could walk off the street and get a loan- even if they couldn’t pay for it.   The people giving out these loans had no stake in whether or not they were paid back because, in many cases, mortgages were bundled together and sold off like commodities to other huge financial monsters.   How did I end up at a job like this?!   Well, I had no clue what I was getting into from the interviews.   NO clue.   But thats another story.   I will say  that I was also told that I would “definitely” make $70,000 my first year and that this was the hot new career path for sales-oriented  finance majors.     So maybe it’s not just the big companies who are responsible for the economic downturn:  people like me and my sub-prime customers are responsible for the economic downturn too.     I went into this job solely for the opportunity to make a lot of money at age 22:  greedy and unnecessary? Maybe.   Were my customers being responsible by allowing themselves to buy Escalades they couldn’t pay for and racking up sometimes over $100,000 in credit card debt and hoping someone could fix their mistakes?   Maybe.   No one forced me to take that job, nor my customers to make their excessive purchases.   For some reason we, as Americans, felt the need to prove something to keep up with the Jones’.   Yes, technically financial institutions let us take it too far but in the end, we were the ones making those decisions.   And now the bubble has burst and everyone wonders what happened.   The good news is that even the wealthy can feel the effects of being greedy this time.   The recession is affecting everyone and I think it has caused all social classes to take a step back and re-evaluate their basic needs and values.   I hope America learns a lesson from this rather than allowing the cycle to repeat in the future.
