Why do some businesses survive, while others thrive?
We do business consulting that helps separate the average mortgage professional from those who win awards or who generate millions in mortgage volume in just a few short months.
What is the average mortgage professional doing differently from those who go on to lead brokerage teams that are #1 in their industry, or those who have become so successful that they are able to franchise and even sell their business?
What makes them so successful? What makes them an Ivy League Professional?
There’s no one magical formula (even though some might claim there is). There’s no ONE secret we can tell you that will make you an overnight success. It’s not luck or chance, and it’s not always ‘who you know’ in the industry, but instead, it’s a series of steps and strategies that can be taught and learned. It’s putting the work into your business, not just one day, but every day, and having a business plan or strategy tailored to you and the goals you want to achieve.
Maybe you need help with specific challenges or barriers? Maybe you want your organisation to be a learning organisation? Maybe your aim is to be the top mortgage professional or team in your region?
We teach you not just to work ‘in’ your business, but ‘on’ it.
It takes time. It takes commitment and yes, it does take work. It also takes guidance and coaching from industry professionals. Those who have the experience, expertise and necessary skills to help you achieve your fullest potential.
Through mentorship or training programs, our industry professionals will help you build your experience and develop new skills. The style and format of our programs vary, and the time frame is 12 to 24 months depending on the need of the client.
Programs include:
- Sales Mentorship Program
- Executive Mentorship Program
- Strategy Mentorship Program
- Leadership Development Program

What Others Have to Say
Urma’s role as a business consultant and mentor at Kraft Mortgages Canada Inc. has been of tremendous help to our sales team. She has tons of industry experience and knowledge which I have started to take advantage of as Managing Director of my company. She is very professional and to the point and I am personally learning so many new things from her.
Her advice in managing my team has been of great value and I have learned techniques and perspectives I would not otherwise have learned. She has great leadership skills and has helped positively shift the culture in my office by implementing regular training and sales meetings.
Urma is a great asset to our company and I would encourage mortgage professionals, agents and brokers to take advantage of her experience and knowledge as a business consultant, trainer and Leader.
