You have to just commit to doing the lead generation 5-6 days a week (social posts, door knocking, talk to people you know, talk to people you don't know, host open houses for agents in your office, drive for FSBO's, etc) until you have planted so many "seeds" that they result in business. 

One particular lender and when I say Lender, I’m talking about the individual loan officer that we have worked with in the past had a number of his Lending policies changed so we had to start using someone else when he did not have a product that fit .I realize that a number of the replies have come from lenders themselves so they’re looking for faithful customers.

A few weeks ago I received a frantic call from a police officer in the town were we have an STR.
