Dale Vermillion grew up in Fox Lake, IL, a small suburb of Chicago. After graduating high-school, he chose to get into the construction business.
After a few years as a carpenter, he felt like he had a knack for sales and decided to make a career shift.
“The training I received from Dale was the most valuable sales training that I've ever received, and has played a significant role in my sales communication ever since.
“I've found myself using a lot of the tools Dale laid out in his Mortgage Champions training, and cannot express how helpful they have been.”
“Years ago when we first on-boarded Dale, we were doing an abysmal 1.9 loans per LO. We took that number to nearly 10 (9.5) in about 2 years.
“We had a typical D2C shop with some top producers and mostly average LO’s. Dale helped us over time get the right people to stay on the bus while adding the right types of LOs.
“We also developed a mortgage banker school that Dale would teach at for at least once but usually twice during the 3 month ramp up. Expectations have always been exceeded.
“In today’s market we are still averaging over 8 loans per LO with 62 LO’s and more than half of our volume is purchase strictly D2C (100%).”
“ Dale has been an invaluable resource for TruHome and I recommend the Mortgage Champions training with the highest compliments.
“Because we have invested in our people by retaining Dale, we believe we are better prepared with the changing markets and ahead of the curve when it comes to developing our sales team and the culture and direction of our company.”
“Dale’s teaching and expertise has proven to literally be invaluable to our organization.
“The depth of knowledge and uncanny ability to disseminate it in a proper fashion has laid a foundation for our company that will catapult us in ways we weren’t sure were possible.
Our company is witnessing unprecedented, substantial growth. We have increased our top-line revenue more than 425% in the past 36 months. Dale has solidified that reality in our business.
“Dale’s operational knowledge is second-to-none; but, his leadership is even better. It’s quite simple—if you want to grow your business properly and profitably, hire Dale Vermillion.”
“Dale, personally and professionally, has substantially advanced the growth and profitability of Success Mortgage Partners.
“In the short time that he has been our sales and mortgage counselor, advisor, and class instructor, our mortgage applications have increased about 40%.
“Since Dale’s presence, employees are handling assignments with an increased spirit of cooperation and belief in themselves and in the company via his improved training techniques and his personal ability to inspire by way of interacting with individual teams and team leaders.
”Our company reflects improved communication and cooperation, as well as more professional accountability. Dale’s leadership is evident. All departments, as well as the company overall, have improved substantially. We as a group believe in Dale.
“As I have expressed to my two partners, hiring Dale Vermillion has not been an expense, it has been an investment which has returned huge dividends.”
“Dale’s advice exceeded my expectations and it was really needed. The training gave me a new perspective on objections and how to build REALationship with our borrowers.”
“All of my employees (39 loan officers and managers) came back with a wealth of knowledge and energized - it was well worth sending everyone.”
“I have been fortunate to work with some of the best talent in the world and believe me Dale is the BEST OF THE BEST!”
“Dale Vermillion’s program is excellent. So far it ranks as one of the best marketing/training classes I have ever taken and I know I've been in over 100 in my 40 years in the financial services arena.”
“There are many great business consultants and leaders out there today, many of whom I've worked with and value, but none are better than Dale.
“I highly recommend Dale Vermillion to anyone seeking to increase the performance of their company by building great habits, all-pro sales skills, and deep core values within each member of the team.”
