You're navigating leadership with new team members. How can you build trust while setting the tone?
It is so important to not limit the potential of new employees. So many companies bring new people in and set low goals for them in the first year because of their lack of tenure. This can actually inhibit their drive and desire to be a critical part of the team. By providing the right training up front, and a mentoring group process, new employees can be your superstars very quickly that set the standard for others. So don’t be afraid to set high expectations for them and encourage them to be a vital part of the success of the team very quickly. When you hire stallions, you never want to pull back the reigns. Let them run. Show them you believe in them and their ability to contribute quickly.

Vermillion has worked tirelessly to help his clients at Mortgage Champions and the industry as a whole navigate this incredibly complex and challenging mortgage market. As both the founder and active CEO, Vermillion personally determines the corporate strategy and manages the executive team, all while protecting the unassailable reputation he and the company have earned over the past 30 years.
During his 40th year in mortgage, Vermillion attracted nationally recognized clients, helped form partnerships with multinational brands and spoke at some of the industry’s most prestigious conferences. Vermillion’s dedication to his clients, partners, employees and the industry at large continues to drive his unparalleled work ethic — and the results continue to prove invaluable for his team.
Without selling the rest of the team short, it’s hard to imagine retaining 90% of revenue from the previous year when many of the best companies in the space experienced 30%-60% reductions in revenue while others closed their doors altogether. -
