Trigger Mortgage Leads

In sales and marketing, a lead refers to a potential customer or sales prospect. A mortgage lead is defined as a person who is applying for a mortgage or mortgage refinance.

When the lender or mortgage company makes a check into the credit status of the mortgage applicant, a `trigger` is set off. This will tag the applicant as a mortgage inquiry, and his information is communicated to companies, usually lead generation firms, which buy this data. This data is then sold to mortgage companies, as trigger mortgage leads.

A mortgage trigger lead comprises of the name and contact details of a mortgage or loan applicant. Trigger mortgage leads can be ordered according to specified parameters, such as demography, credit score, repayment history and other criteria.

Trigger mortgage leads are generated by the credit bureaus, which have the personal and credit data of mortgage prospects. They provide trigger mortgage leads to lenders and mortgage companies which subscribe to their trigger services. Equifax and Experian trigger mortgage leads are said to possess a high degree of accuracy.

Trigger mortgage leads are an effective and resourceful way to expand your business, increase your customer base or retain existing customers. They are pre-qualified prospects for a mortgage broker and sales professionals, who can turn them into clients.

Trigger mortgage leads are prospects with a specified need for a mortgage. The mortgage broker is equipped with the necessary information to enable him to structure a compelling and appropriate proposal for the prospect. This greatly increases the rate of closing the sales.
