- Multi-Path Lead Funnels – design dedicated sequences for Purchase, Refinance, and Credit-Repair leads

Sample Workflow: From Form Fill to Funding ✔️
Let’s follow “Borrower-Beth” through the Playbook funnel:
- Beth clicks your “Refinance & Save” Facebook ad
- She completes the funnel form (loan type, property, desired rate)
- An SMS + email immediately confirm receipt + meeting link
- She books a call via integrated scheduling widget
- Call logs automatically tag her as “Discovery Call Scheduled”
- A second reminder 2 hours pre-call: automated
- After closing, the loan moves to “Funded” stage
- 48 hours later: a review request is sent
- Beth leaves a 5★ review – bingo!
Every step hands-off, yet personalized.
💡 Use Fannie Mae’s underwriting guidelines to frame messaging that educates and qualifies borrowers faster.
