Business Development Mgr-Wholesale Mortgage Account Executive

POSITION SUMMARY:
The Business Development Manager (BDM) position is responsible for developing new business utilizing MILA’s defined Sales Process and our innovative mortgage technology. MILA’s strategy is to use a consultative selling approach to gain access to the broker’s point of sale process, integrate technology and develop user activity. By having access to MILA’s innovative technology, and our highly skilled and efficient Operations team, you will have vast resources to support, develop and expand your broker base.

Essential Duties for the BDM Role:
• Influence decision-makers to use MILA as a first choice for each loan file
• Train users on inputting their loans through AccessPoint in order to implement an e-commerce solution to maximize their business

The BDM accomplishes this by getting face-to-face in broker offices. The old model of making a large quantity of transactions is replaced with the strategy of using a consultative approach in order to help brokers understand the MILA difference and how this difference can increase their earnings.

The main focus of BDM has less to do with acquiring a large number of brokers putting through a small number of loans and more to do with finding the best brokers and concentrating on relationship building with them. Less is better in this case due to the time needed to build a quality relationship with brokers who will give MILA the majority of their business. Profiling offices is extremely critical in determining which ones best fit this scenario.

Because MILA’s rates have proven to be competitive in the marketplace, the BDM is not selling product as much as they are advancing the use of MILA’s single point of sale and loan management online system, which handles the loan application from end-to-end, underwriting through closing. In a heavily paper-driven industry, the BDM concentrates on changing the mindset and behavior of brokers in order to increase their business by shifting the paradigm to a paperless way of doing business. The BDM, acting as an implementation manager, is onsite to show and train loan officers and processors how inputting loans into AccessPoint gives them control and management over their loan files and saves them time.
