A career in mortgages and being your own boss - Jon Stones
This week we have a new host! Ali Topan will be hosting episodes on the Financial Planner Life podcast focused on mortgage careers. Ali is joined by Jon Stones, the director of Mortgage 1st. We discuss how Jon got into the industry, how he maintains harmony within his team, advice for anyone looking to be self-employed within mortgages as well as his passions away from work. It’s also very interesting to hear what Jon doesn’t like about the mortgage industry and how he thinks things can be improved.
We cover:
- How COVID-19 affected Mortgage 1st and why they were more prepared than most
- Lead generation and why it’s vital to Jon’s business
- Working with a spouse
- The advantages of being self-employed
- How to ensure that you have the right personnel within your team
- Jon’s bugbears with the mortgage industry
