Predictable Profitability

The goal of Dr. Schell's MBS Financial Services is to improve the bottom-line results for our clients, so they achieve sustainable profitability.

According to the Small Business Administration, 90% of small businesses fail within the first three years. The two main reasons businesses fail are due to poor planning and poor financial management. Frequently, companies that fail do not know they are failing until it is too late.

Creating a mortgage lending financial forecast is essential for survival and is not a complicated task to accomplish. Developing financial and operational metrics is also important to create a well-run company. It is not difficult to implement metrics. The challenge is, acting on the data, changing course, or asking employees to change their activity.

Dr. Schell and the MBS team can teach you how to get your employees to accept metric management, which will help improve your bottom line. Also, see Dr. Schell's article about how strategy and change management.

Planning begins with data. Data includes an honest assessment of capability. The process of assessing your capability may begin by reviewing the investor scorecards to identify the operational areas for improvement. Examining the frequency of rate concessions by branch and by LO will also expose origination areas for improvement. Counting the number of underwriting conditions for each file can be a wealth of information to identify operational bottlenecks.

An LO that submits an incomplete file will slow down operations. This same is likely the LO complaining about the loan file pace. Identifying and "speaking truth" into this circumstance is essential for a healthy company.


The dynamics of a successful company are identifiable and measurable. Dr. Schell and the MBS team can help.
