"Sell me this pen."
You are probably familiar with this question made famous by The Wolf of Wall Street. Chances are, people who know and apply the correct response to this question are expert salesmen. They are regarded as experts in their field, trusted by their customers, and able to close deals effortlessly. Why? Because the technique to sell is to know the person first — their needs, what is important to them, and what solution actually fits.
In real life, it is easier said than done. Unless the person already knows you, chances are they have their guards up, especially when it comes to their financial situation and numbers. Without knowing the customer, it is almost impossible to provide a financial recommendation that can truly help them.
- The big promise
What if you could change the conversation entirely?
What if there is a way to get your client or prospect to open up to you automatically and let you know their full financial status?
What if you can become the indispensable financial advisor they rely on to manage all their assets?
What if you can stop losing them to other financial providers like bankers, and become their one-stop trusted advisor?
This is the whole purpose of our Mortgage Accreditation Program (MAP): to give you knowledge and technology that can be used to unlock the doors of many opportunities.
- Benefits
Differentiate yourself as the advisor clients trust
Be the all-round expert in finance
Finances go beyond income and expenses. Assets, especially property, are a powerful piece of the wealth pie. Discover creative ways to help your clients unlock cash from properties and see the full potential of their wealth.
Add value to clients easily
Interest rates change every day. Many Singaporeans are overpaying for their mortgage without realizing it. Imagine how amazed your clients will be when you help them save thousands of dollars every year through refinancing.
Uncover borrowing eligibility & full financial status
Once you help them, the relationship changes. With better information and momentum, you can create opportunities and recommend the right strategy to generate more wealth for your clients.
Enhance your earning potential
Mortgage is usually a person's biggest financial commitment, and everyone needs it at some point. With another offering under your belt, you increase the lifetime value of your clients.
It's obvious that you need a differentiation in the market to make yourself the obvious choice ato clients.

From bankers to advisors
"Colab prepared me to make the switch from banking to independent mortgage advisory. The syllabus covers much more than what I have learnt during my 5-year stint as a mortgage specialist in a local bank. Colab's system helps me to present solutions to my clients and manage their mortgages without me breaking a sweat. Thanks to Colab, I don't have to spend time collating banks' rates and track payments. I can focus on what I do best — engaging clients!"
