  • Partner with branch managers and business development associates to maximize referral generation.
  • Collaborate closely with branch managers, business development associates, and underwriting teams to coordinate referral strategies and streamline the end‑to‑end loan process.
  • Lead periodic sales strategy sessions to share market insights, product enhancements, and successful prospecting techniques.
