Is your CRM just a digital filing cabinet, or is it the engine behind your growth? In this episode of Lending Forward, we sit down with Dan Catinella, Chief Lending Officer with Total Expert, to uncover how originators and mortgage companies can go from viewing their database as a “Rolodex” to treating it like the gold mine it truly is.
We talk about the tech evolution in lending, how to avoid shiny object syndrome, and the critical role of sales and marketing alignment. You’ll hear how top-performing lenders are leveraging AI, data, and CRM platforms to 10X their customer retention, drive conversions, and build scalable, future-ready businesses.
Whether you're a tech-savvy originator or just starting to explore CRM beyond flyers and printouts, this episode will change how you look at your tech stack AND your future.
