Will they buy with YOU?  Will they SIGN with you? Facts: There are more buyers in today's market than there are listings to sell them.

In addition, you have to worry about how you'll get paid for your hard work and whether your buyer prospects will sign your buyer representation agreement!  Prequalification and having an actual Buyer Presentation matter more than ever! How do you determine which of your buyers will actually turn into a closed transaction?  How do you set appointments to use your Prequalification Script and deliver your Buyer Presentation?  If this all seems weird to you, you're like most agents who have yet to do any of this formally. The Buyer Prequalification Script is simply a conversational outline. It uses questions to learn about your buyer's time frame, motivation, and needs. After using the Script, you'll meet your buyer prospects and use your Buyer Presentation to solidify your relationship, how you work, and how commissions work.  Ultimately, that will result in their signature being on your Buyer Agency Contract. Today, we are showing you a few questions from the Buyer Prequalification Script.

Please tune in to this episode of The Building BITE Podcast, as we hear from industry experts about key topics to help you be successful. The Building BITE hosts Chris Epps, LEED AP, and Mike Diercksen, CRIS, welcome Shayne Gaffney, Senior Product Manager at Highwire. We begin the episode by learning about Shayne and his unique career progression, from high end training with US Cycling to working as a Senior Product Manager at Highwire. Shayne was able to leverage his experience as a coach into a successful career helping contractors maximize their potential. Through this conversation, Shayne helps our audience better understand the various tools and industry resources available when assessing your subcontractor prequalification strategy, ultimately leaving us with three key takeaways. 1. Is This the Right Sub-Contractor for This Project: While it is important to look at the larger picture when evaluating your sub-contractors, you can not lose sight of the task at hand. Making sure your sub has the work experience and capacity necessary for the next project is imperative to your success; factors such as geography, type of work, and project size should be key benchmarks as you make these decisions. 2. Make Sure Your Data is Comprehensive: We need to think of data like any other tool in your toolbelt. To use it properly you need to focus on getting complete data sets from your subs and streamline the way in which that information is shared. Doing so will increase your team's ability to digest this information and perform comprehensive assessments. 3. Think Holistically: There are many variables that go into creating a comprehensive pre-qualification assessment, and managing all of them can be a tall order. Make sure to find the right technology partners who will help you quantify this data in a concise way, empowering your team to make the best decision for you and your firm.

What are the best ways to set up public, private, and academic clinical research partnerships? How do we get these public-private partnerships (PPP) to work most effectively? And who should be in charge of what in multistakeholder research collaborations? We will get those answers in more in this episode of Research in Action with our guests Rob King, President and CEO of FHI Clinical; and Dr. Kristen Lewis, Head of Clinical Operations at the Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access at PATH.   ---------------------------------------------------------   Episode Transcript:   00;00;00;01 - 00;00;22;22 What are the best ways to set up public-private clinical research projects? Where does and should the money for such research come from and who should be in charge of what? We'll get those answers and more on this episode of Research in Action. Hello and welcome to Research in Action, brought to you by Oracle Life Sciences.   00;00;22;22 - 00;00;50;05 I'm Mike Stiles. And today we're just trying to outdo ourselves by talking to not one, but two very interesting people. First is Rob King, president and CEO of FHI Clinical. FHI uses Oracle's clinical trial software for their clinical operations and partner with public entities like PATH, which brings me to Dr. Kristen Lewis, who is Head of Clinical Operations at the Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access at PATH.   00;00;50;26 - 00;01;29;23 I could go through what each of these organizations do just to hear myself talk, But why do that when I have both of you here? So, Rob, tell us what FHI Clinical does. Yeah, I think Mike, so clinical in a contract, they were actually for profit and hearing of a large nonprofit called F8 had three ethically and while we are for profit empathy, our mission is to address unmet research needs and maximum social impact pouring into development of medical treatment around the world.   00;01;30;04 - 00;01;58;20 While we work globally, we tend to focus on the low and middle income country on the whole pharma and biotech client are also include nonprofits and government. Empathy. Well with biotech receive public funding and path having him be one of our client. Appreciate Kristen being here arguing that four years ago and I'm currently the CEO and I'm happy to be here.   00;01;58;20 - 00;02;22;19 Well great. Kristen what about PATH? Yeah, thanks for the introduction, Mike. It's a pleasure to speak with you and Rob today and have the opportunity to contribute to this discussion. So most people listening to this podcast may not be familiar with PATH. We're a nonprofit global public health organization with approximately 1600 employees worldwide. Our headquarters are in Seattle, Washington, and we have offices across the African and Asian continents and Europe.   00;02;22;19 - 00;02;53;00 Some of the locations we have offices in include Kenya, Ethiopia, Senegal, Uganda, Zambia, India, Vietnam, Ukraine. And I could go on, but I'll I'll hold hold it there. Our mission is to advance health equity through innovation and partnerships. We do this with the help of local and global partners by generating evidence, advancing innovation and strengthening local capacity to improve health in countries and communities that are experiencing disproportionate burdens of disease and barriers to well-being, specifically in low and middle income countries.   00;02;53;11 - 00;03;26;01 This includes working in over 70 countries across the African, Asian, Latin American, European and North American regions. Within Paths Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access, we drive the mission of achieving health equity using a three-pronged approach, including developing, facilitating and implementing global market and policy solutions to ensure sustainable supply and equitable access to vaccines. Supporting country led efforts to advance national health equity priorities, and to strengthen immunization system resilience and driving innovation and technological advances.   00;03;26;01 - 00;03;50;20 To accelerate and optimize access to vaccines. Now, this last point is where my work is focus. Thus, during today's discussion, I'll be speaking with the lens of developing vaccines for disease indications benefiting low and middle income countries, and the importance of public private partnerships in achieving that goal. And just to note, you'll note a common thread there in the introductions from both Rob and myself, and that's the low and middle income country focus.   00;03;50;20 - 00;04;15;17 And I think that you'll start to hear some commonalities come into play as we go further into this session. Great. Well, I think what I want to get into here is kind of what you talked about is the value of public private partnerships in clinical research. Rob, give me the honest first reaction that a lot of private companies have when it is suggested that they partner with a public or a government organization.   00;04;15;17 - 00;04;45;18 Is that something that they jump at with open arms or is there any hesitancy? How does that go down? You know, with recently reading an article about one of the first public private partnerships and it was how mail really hit home, like, you know, for most of our listener, what most people won't be familiar with are the initiative around vaccination for diseases like polio and Spanish flu, MENA and rubella.   00;04;46;00 - 00;05;33;19 And we tend to have short memories. And they and the devastating impact they've had on society prior to vaccination and treatment options or with also that treatment developed over HIV and AIDS and then most recently the COVID pandemic. So with that said, you know, private companies maintain the shy away from what we call the triple P public private partnership in the funding limitations that my, you know, government based funding required a lot of compliance when the whole myriad of regulations and public kind of activity may have restricting how and where or how and when fund your, you know, without experience are now horsepower in the public private partnership.   00;05;34;07 - 00;06;09;21 It creates see private companies to engage and may see growth for example will not serve as a prime contractor on government funding work because when you're in the accounting and you're when the regulatory compliance and you'll only see those of normal commercial contracts, therefore they can turn them and be overly burdensome for those companies to pay. And public private partnerships, you have to have an operational model that meets the unique need of that partnership.   00;06;10;03 - 00;06;36;15 And at the end of the day, you really can't you can't get value for society that public private partnerships have contributed to. And Kristen, from the nonprofit or public side, what what is the benefit of partnering with private companies? Yeah, that's a great question. And I think to answer that, I'd first like to highlight some of the major successes when these partnerships have come together.   00;06;37;04 - 00;07;05;23 PATH has played through public private partnerships. PATH has played a critical role in some of immunizations, created successes over the past 30 years in lmics low and middle income countries. This includes developing the world's first malaria vaccine, which has now reached more than 2 million children, eliminating meningitis epidemics in Africa following introduction of the A4 backed vaccine protecting over 300 million children from Japanese encephalitis, vaccinating millions of girls against HPV.   00;07;06;06 - 00;07;33;20 And I could go on. But those are some some highlights. Path has not achieved these accomplishments in isolation. These successes have been catalyzed via public private partnerships models, and they're examples of which the private sector alone may not have been interested in developing these indications. These vaccine indications for low and middle income country use due to financing or budget considerations or constraints or some of the points that Rob made earlier.   00;07;34;00 - 00;08;03;13 However, with partnerships between PATH and private entities, including finance mechanisms for rollout and use of the vaccines in the regions following development, we've been able to champion development and introduction of vaccines that might not usually have generated sufficient interest for the investment that's required for full development. So in a nutshell, public private partnerships are the bread and butter of our work and integral to the goal of achieving improvements in global public health among populations facing economic challenges worldwide.   00;08;03;24 - 00;08;43;19 Well, so it feels like these partnerships would automatically create multiple stakeholders. So, Rob, how hard is it to make sure that the goals and priorities are aligned amongst all these people and stay aligned? First, I think I have a, you know, expectation and the goals are higher for public private partnership and for commercial initiative. You know, eight you public five, there is an expectation that you're going to achieve the goal or outcome and you're held accountable for how those on her spent.   00;08;44;11 - 00;09;27;10 You're not accountable to a or stockholder, but general public. And you know, public funds are unlimited and there are every dollar may account for whatever goal they're trying to achieve. And we're spending public funds a buying or accounting of how this on her being spent and her limitation on this on and how there may not be extra funds or reserve goes back to if those funds start to run low and usually the public entity defines the impact and the work that has to be completed in ensuring that the funding is in place.   00;09;28;01 - 00;09;53;24 And they then tracking the work that the private company may have contractually in their you mean clear terms on what's being delivered and the restrictions that may or may not be around the funding for that deliverable. So I you agree that saying, though, priorities are paramount because of the fact that we're accountable to the end of the day, to the general public.   00;09;54;09 - 00;10;29;01 And Kristen, is there anything on the public or nonprofit side that's done to kind of make sure that projects aren't subjected to red tape or bureaucracies? I mean, I guess there's always going to be some of that, but to the extent that would might slow things down. Yeah, it's a great question, an interesting and insightful one. So Path we work as a clinical development partner and hold sponsor sponsor roles to implement clinical trials and generate evidence to support vaccine licensure, W.H.O., Prequalification and decision making for vaccine Introduction.   00;10;29;11 - 00;10;51;09 And our work spans the entire vaccine development and delivery lifecycle. And with this broad set of objectives, in order to achieve the aforementioned successes, we have worked with the same urgencies and efficiencies as our private counterparts. From a private lens, there seems to be a perception that the public sector does not come with the same development pressures as the private sector.   00;10;51;19 - 00;11;22;13 In other words, there seems to be a perception that the public sector works slow due to many policies or rules or paperwork, or is generally lacking a sense of urgency, if you will. Now, I don't have that experience working in government, so I can't comment on that side of things. However, in my experience working in vaccine development with a non governmental nonprofit for the majority of my career as well as a few years working for a for profit entity, I can comment that the intensity of work at a nonprofit has been similar to the intensity at a private entity.   00;11;22;26 - 00;11;46;09 While the root of the development pressures may be slightly different. The goal is to develop products as efficiently as possible, while also retaining high quality remain in both sectors. For private entities, I believe the term may be, quote, time as money and quote as a driving consideration. While for my work in the nonprofit space, what drives us is, quote, time is lives, unquote.   00;11;46;14 - 00;12;17;20 And that is really the driving consideration. But regardless of those driving considerations, there's still urgency and sense that we need to be as efficient as possible and ensure that we aren't were removing blockages, red tape, bureaucracy as much as possible. So, Kristen, I'm curious, just from your point of view, when the pandemic came down, that was an entirely different animal in terms and the need to get something done and get something done rapidly.   00;12;17;25 - 00;12;48;23 Just how different a process was that? Yes. So I wouldn't say that the process was necessarily different between the public and private side. I would say that we did things across both sectors in a a new way. So the COVID pandemic really brought home how there are many similarities between the public and the private sectors. Not everything differs according to operating model.   00;12;49;01 - 00;13;14;16 In fact, during the pandemic, the global public health and product development safe spaces, regardless of the type of sector, were going through the same waves of initial shock and uncertainty and how to continue the trials during the very initial stages of the pandemic considerations in terms of the risk benefit tradeoffs of operating non-covid interventional trials during that time, and depending on the type of trial availability of remote technologies and a product's importance to saving lives.   00;13;14;27 - 00;13;38;24 We had to take into consideration different ways and methods for making sure that those Non-covid interventional trials were completed. We also were involved with needing to identify new ways of getting the work done, which included catalyzing a more definitive shift towards identification of local partners that were in close proximity to the trial locations for ease and trial oversight and management.   00;13;38;24 - 00;14;04;12 Implementing remote solution for activities such as source, document verification, remote training, remote site assessments and other types of remote activities, identifying how to get supplies or equipment to the sites ahead of study. Start with supply chains being disrupted and finally determining how to maintain the trials and keep them running once up and going while continuing to deliver with with high quality and ensuring participant safety.   00;14;04;24 - 00;14;30;10 So from Passent, given our work is primarily focused in low and middle income countries, many of the challenges faced in the private sector high income market were further exacerbated due to the relatively slower adoption or uptake of technology surgical clinical trial advances. And this experience was important as it pushed for adoption of technologies that had been previously questioned due to fear of loss of data or other concerns, as with other areas of our lives.   00;14;30;11 - 00;14;56;28 COVID really helped to push the envelope in terms of finding new efficiencies and ways of getting things done. Rob When a partnership like this comes together, I guess this goes along with the expectation setting side that you touched on earlier. How are the roles and responsibilities assigned? I say that in the triple P or public private partnership it really different in that respect as compared to commercial partnership.   00;14;57;25 - 00;15;41;11 You know, the earlier the public finds an objective and a private is to execute that. Now the public entity may only outsource part of the work because they already have the skills and knowledge and the resources themselves. And then they will only outsource the pieces that they can't do themselves. But I think the main thing to keep in mind when a public private partnership is that the public entity, a steward of the public interest and liability and accountability for that public interest lies with them regardless of whether they outsource or not to a private company.   00;15;41;11 - 00;16;05;12 So I feel bad for Kristin and the pressure that they have on them as a public entity compared to myself and her private empathy, where I don't necessarily feel the same pressure we have. Some people might think that the role of public funding is just to get the project more money. You know, we tell you what we need, you go get it for us, and that's your role.   00;16;05;12 - 00;16;28;04 How true or not true is that, Kristin? Yeah. You point out an important consideration for pairing public funding with private resources. There is the potential that private entities may believe that we, the nonprofit, will help bring in key funder resources to augment a development program regardless of their development goals, in alignment with the use of the product in low and middle income countries.   00;16;28;13 - 00;16;54;25 However, in order to mitigate the potential for this misalignment within PATH, we focus on partnering with private entities. When there's clear alignment between Path's mission and the mission of the private entity. Additionally, this alignment has to be in writing agreed to via contract. It includes global access agreements for product availability and use. And so in summary, my experience has been that it's not true that the goal of public funding is to get the project more money.   00;16;54;25 - 00;17;16;10 The goal of public funding is to achieve an outcome that might not otherwise be achievable, given lack of private interest without the public funding to come in and co-fund an objective that benefits low and middle income countries. So we've got public and private represented on this episode with the two of you. What we don't have is someone representing the academic side.   00;17;16;10 - 00;17;45;27 Rob, do you have any thoughts on the role that that third leg of the stool plays or should play? Yeah, you know, there are academic institutions that also have private public anything in and out where I have a lot of admiration for the role of peer academia, Both public and private institutions rely on academia being a catalyst for innovation and providing health very specific areas of research.   00;17;46;24 - 00;18;13;00 There are a lot of academics out there. They're doing very research and I never know when that point of time in in hand. So at every level we rely on our advisory or academic consultant to keep us informed on very specific events or therapeutic topics. And this plays into whether the research into them or not that we intend to do.   00;18;13;10 - 00;18;51;08 And there's a large portion of investigator and key opinion leaders involved in research actually come from academia. On the flip side, academia also relies on public private partnership to bring their ideas into the research environment because they lack the funding to paint the vision or the technical knowledge on how to bring that idea to the next step. You know, I think the example that perhaps a lot of people have heard of are the bar industry days and Loreal, which is the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority.   00;18;51;24 - 00;19;35;13 They host annually this event where people come in for ideas, for collaboration in partnership with US funding, and so they have it. So for them, the novel idea that aligns with the interests of the US government and they get the opportunity to collaborate with other companies that can bring that into fruition as well with funding behind it. So I think there are a lot of opportunities out there for academics to bring the right into fruition, but we have a great job of sort of pulling them in the right direction.   00;19;35;28 - 00;19;58;14 Kristen, I have to tell you, as a as a layperson, I kind of picture this three way partnership, and the first thing that comes to mind is that's a lot of cooks in the kitchen. So it's kind of amazing to me that anything gets done or gets done in kind of a timely manner. What are the essential ingredients of a truly successful collaboration in your mind?   00;19;58;26 - 00;20;34;24 Yeah, it's a very good point. And I will add on to Rob's comments regarding academia that academia is a very important partner in this setup. Academia generally is part of these partnerships. And so there are I would, as you put it, a lot of cooks in the kitchen when we're bringing these projects together. And the short answer and how we make these successful is to never underestimate the value of careful pre-planning and preparation and setting up the partnerships, including mission alignment, alignment in the partners scopes of work and roles and responsibilities.   00;20;34;25 - 00;21;11;19 I think Rob alluded to that earlier. And the Seven Seas of collaborations jump to mind, clarity of purpose, concurrency of mission strategy and values, creation of value, connection with purpose and people, communication between partners, continually learning or a growth mindset and commitment to the partnership. In addition, it's also important to lay a solid foundation underlying all of that of respect, trust and finding a balance between humility and confidence across the partners to make sure that everybody is partnering fairly and with trust and in good faith.   00;21;12;01 - 00;21;37;07 Yeah, you know, I don't want to start a fight, but who is largely responsible for big innovations in clinical health? I think the public gets the impression there are private scientists huddled together in one lab, and then government scientists huddle together in another lab, probably in D.C. That's not really the way it is, is it, Rob? I mean, how are the big, impactful innovations truly getting developed?   00;21;37;17 - 00;22;07;29 Yeah, I'm one I answer that question in the obvious here. I mean, there when we all work together and leverage the strength of all of our partners. I honestly do think that commercial or private things are faster innovation, but they have a feel and reward system. They're always our innovation, a profit making endeavor. I mean, why not? You have a good eye and you want to be recognized and rewarded for it.   00;22;08;12 - 00;22;36;24 But bringing innovation in areas where the opportunity for regular recognition and reward is not so great. And that's where public private partnership come into play. You know, as a global community, it's in our interest to innovate in low reward scenarios because the knock on effect is that the problem is not spread and that it allows a particular community to or region to prosper.   00;22;37;13 - 00;23;00;15 And so therefore, if people prosper, they're less likely to mean in the future and we can maximize their contribution for the greater good. Yeah, but Rob, when it comes to public health, people do seem to put the bulk of that responsibility on government. Like people didn't demand an answer to COVID from Pfizer. They demanded it from the White House.   00;23;00;15 - 00;23;29;27 So is that fair? I think fair and yet a moral issue that we can do a whole nother podcast around. So, yeah, but, you know, human empathy and theoretically the government are there to serve the public and the public good through taxation and donations. We expect the instinct to step up when the need arises. You know, the public can't hold a private company like Pfizer accountable in a crisis.   00;23;30;13 - 00;23;58;14 And then the obvious thing here is they hold the public entity responsible. The only problem is we pan who fund our public entity with a little support if possible, or we lose the funding that's already there with a whole myriad of special interests. We don't leave a whole lot left in crisis. We're also very bad at funding the future, whether it's for crisis or innovation.   00;23;58;27 - 00;24;25;25 We're not people that really think ahead, sometimes have public empathy, have to scramble to reallocate funds, and they usually can't staff up or get resources in place quick enough. And they turn to commercial companies that really have no restriction on growth and simply eat the money and make it happen. Rob What's the most gratifying thing that's come from working with Path from your perspective?   00;24;26;17 - 00;24;57;14 Well, I'll make this short with Sweet. We know toward the beginning of our path and we'll have similar missions now. Path being a public entity, hailing here for the greater good and not really for a reward or profit. Who? I don't know. But I feel I feel better about myself and my company associating and working with Light Path.   00;24;58;00 - 00;25;22;15 And Kristen, what keeps you bought into the whole public private partnership model? Well, it's it's that it's a factor that the model is effective in bringing new life saving interventions to low and middle income countries. So for me, it's the advancement of the public health mission and being able to efficiently facilitate implementation of health interventions for low and middle income income countries that wouldn't otherwise be available.   00;25;22;16 - 00;25;42;26 It's the ability to have a true impact to save lives. And this partnership model is is critical in making that happen. Yeah, but it can't all be gumdrops and rainbows. So what are some of the challenges as or wish list items that you both feel still kind of need to be addressed when it comes to the partnerships around clinical research?   00;25;42;26 - 00;26;18;16 First Rob, then Kristen how I think we can do a better job of building trust and sharing intelligence even in public private partnership. There in Singapore. If trust and holding on the information that can be of mutual benefit. And I personally would like to break down some of the barriers, you know, a key concept in public private partnership in the best value and in most cases that require public entity get like three quotes for some of activity or contract.   00;26;19;02 - 00;26;44;17 And then you have to justify why you can go with it. So we all know that paper is not always better, and I would like to see us define value in more ways than just cost. Also think they're alive and healthy. It can be shared around best practices of Kristin and I belong to a group that's publicly funded that share best practices.   00;26;45;07 - 00;27;25;20 But you know that sharing of best practice has been limited with sort of all that culture of caution. So I'd like to see more sharing and the assumption of positive impact on our party. And I think we held out a lot during the COVID pandemic, and I applaud that. I hadn't felt the call center for a large government project, and we had to do it time and when I reached out to a technology company to help me fill up that call center, the question was, how much are you going to pay me or what kind of, yeah, how quickly you need it.   00;27;26;12 - 00;28;06;15 And then we literally are without contract, without much, especially around term. And they phone up in record time and we work the other stuff out on the back end to mutual benefit. And I know that we can't always do that, but it shows you what possible. And Kristen, what gets your goat? Yeah, I guess there's two points that jump to mind in the first is that we have some more work to do and in terms of sustainable capacity development to ensure that the ground that we gain in facilitating research in low and middle income countries continues to be built without the loss of human or material resources that are built out for trials.   00;28;06;27 - 00;28;26;16 How do we do a better job of sustaining capacity that's been built following the completion of a trial or a set of trials at sites that we've invested in? That's an area that many folks are putting thought into these days, But I think we have yet to identify a solution to that. And I think that's that's something that we can do, do better at.   00;28;26;16 - 00;28;56;00 And I know we will. It's it's a work in progress. And then the second thing is the concept of equitable partnerships that needs additional consideration and support. And I think back to Rob's comment about assuming positive intent and working in good faith, there's a focus now on on transferring leadership and ownership of much of our clinical development work to the regions that are participating in the work so that they're really co-creating and co owning the development work in the development space.   00;28;56;08 - 00;29;17;00 While COVID helped to catalyze that shift, there's still some more push that we need to do within the global public health and development community to make this shift really, really be adopted and occur. And we have a bit of a way to go in terms of fully embracing the models that are led out of the regions that our products serve.   00;29;17;16 - 00;29;38;27 And I believe that the public private model and partnership is an area where we can help to facilitate this in the future. You know, I'd probably be remiss if I didn't ask about the role that you see technology playing and being maybe that fourth partner in clinical trials. Rob, I know you use Oracle's clinical trial Solutions. What does that bring to the table?   00;29;38;27 - 00;30;25;07 So I think, you know, you're in the COVID pandemic. Technology was really a shining star and allowed some things that we probably couldn't done earlier by embracing technology that people were perhaps hesitant to use before. So I think that certainly around Oracle, we were able to use many of the Oracle platform during the COVID pandemic. I think my favorite story, and people probably heard it before, I apologize to anyone hearing me repeat, is that I think how clinical it have at home, even you're a platform without join and so joined right before the pandemic and you're all now on my whiteboard.   00;30;25;16 - 00;30;50;07 My ideal platform for data collection analysis and sharing with other and a former colleague of mine who we recently joined Oracle dropped by the office and we were hanging out my office and he looked at my whiteboard and he said, What's the Oracle Product Development Plan doing on your whiteboard? I said, Well, that's not the Oracle product development plan, that's my plan.   00;30;50;18 - 00;31;21;25 And he said, Well, that exactly met what we're doing right now. And that was in of our use of clinical one. And, you know, just hearing differently, you know, what I had in mind and what the Oracle developer had in mind were the same. I don't think anybody with smart irony when they coming in the gene at that time drove innovation and all the partners on that, and it came at just the right time.   00;31;22;12 - 00;31;53;20 And Kristin, are you surprised by or frustrated by the technology capabilities that are available for your endeavors and what you're trying to get done today? Yeah, I'm excited for trial platforms in low and middle income countries to have the chance to further adopt technologies that have been utilized in other regions. I would say there's been some reluctance in adoption of the technologies that have been commonly utilized in high income country settings for some time, but that COVID has really catalyzed adoption of many of those.   00;31;54;22 - 00;32;16;19 There has also been some backsliding in use of those technologies since COVID. The urgency of the COVID vaccine development cycle more or less ended. And so what I'm excited for is that there was a push during COVID. We've seen it work in the past and that there's the potential for continued adoption of these solutions, such as these saucy diaries Pro ET cetera.   00;32;16;28 - 00;32;44;20 As we work through the challenges with implementation of those technologies outside of high income country settings. So there's there's a little bit of work to do in terms of adoption. But I think we're we're getting there and I'm excited to see the field further embrace those technologies. Well, it's great to hear about partnerships like this and what's increasingly becoming an accepted model for how we can get better results for people faster and for more people.   00;32;45;00 - 00;33;08;13 A lot of our listeners may want to learn more about what you've been talking about and what you do. So do each of you have a way they can do that or even contact you? How about you? Rob Yeah, so feel free to reach out to me quote unquote dot com. And I'm also only in and happy to sort of brainstorm with anybody.   00;33;08;21 - 00;33;39;20 We sort of can move the idea of public private partnership even farther and Kristen yeah our websites available WW w path dawg and it provides additional information on path and what we do and I'm also on LinkedIn then can be reached via that platform Perfect well if you want to see how Oracle is accelerating life sciences research and how it might be able to do that for your work as well, check out Oracle.com/lifesciences   00;33;40;00 - 00;33;58;18 Also be sure to subscribe to this show and we'll be back next time for Research in Action.

In this show we discuss: -The Difference Between a Prequalification Letter and a Preapproval Letter ft. Paul Salcone -Seek Out The Best Professional Advice! -Building Value: Home Improvements and Insurance Insights ft. John Lapointe -RIBlogger's Top 5 Early July 2023 Events Coming Up in Rhode Island!

If you are in the process of getting a loan, you typically need to talk to the mortgage loan officer before you make an offer on a house to know if you qualify for the loan. The quickest way to know if you qualify if you get a Prequalification, which is given by the loan officer based on the information you provide. But sometimes you need to get a Preapproval, which is a loan that has actually been run through underwriting with all of your documentation submitted and reviewed by the bank. This is especially important if you have a complicated income, live on one of the coasts or are buying in a competitive market.  If you want a free copy of Doug Crouse's book Hippocratic House, you can go to www.DougCrouse.com.

Prequalification of contractors is an essential risk management tool, and safety is an important consideration in that process. In this episode, Philip Casto of HUB International outlines which safety metrics are appropriate for prequalification, and how to create a scoring system that accurately reflects a contractor safety profile.

Before you buy a home, your realtor will likely ask you for a letter from your lender to verify that you are qualified to buy the home. Your lender has two options to provide you - a prequalification or a preauthorization letter. Doug discusses the difference between the two and why you might want one over the other based on your circumstances.

With nearly 40 years ofexperience in the credit industry, Certified Credit understands theobstacles that modern mortgage lenders face. To combat thesechallenges, Certified Credit has created a suite of automatedsolutions, including their latest release, Cascade UDM. Cascade UDM addresses theissue of last-minute fallouts due to unexpected changes in borrowers'credit activity, while helping lenders meet secondary market loanquality standards. From the first credit pull to closing, CascadeUDM helps lenders monitor their borrowers' credit activitycontinuously for new inquiries and balances that have the potentialto derail the loan process.According to Founder and CEOof Certified Credit, Lucy Kereta-Block, “In today's mortgagemarket, lenders are always looking for ways to streamline theirunderwriting process. Reducing mortgage fraud is also a top concern.Without continuous credit monitoring until closing, lenders'fallout and repurchase risk can go up. That's where Cascade UDM canhelp.”Using advanced automation,Cascade UDM monitors borrowers' credit activity as they movethrough lenders' sales pipelines. It integrates seamlessly withmany popular loan origination software (LOS) systems, enhancingconvenience for lenders. By using Cascade UDM, lenders can receivedaily insights and instant alerts via text/SMS, email, or throughtAPI regarding their borrowers' activity, including:New tradelinesNew credit inquiriesLate paymentsIncreases indebt-to-income ratiosIncreases in paymentsCollection itemsWith these timely alerts,lenders can reevaluate borrowers with sudden credit changes rightaway, rather than finding out right before closing. In turn, they canprevent expensive repurchase demands and costly closing issues.Cascade UDM can also enhance LQI compliance, enabling lenders to meetsecondary market loan quality standards with greater ease. According to Lucy Kereta-Block, “Themortgage lending process requires continuous monitoring. Most lendersdon't have time to do that on their own. Cascade UDM automates thisotherwise tedious process, freeing up lenders' time to focus onother areas of their business that contribute to on-going success.”Cascade UDM is just one of CertifiedCredit's many automated solutions. Their Cascade line alsoincludes:Cascade Alerts – Lowcustomer retention is a big problem in the mortgage industry.Cascade Alerts helps lenders enhance their customer retention andtap into their existing customer base to find new leads. Bymonitoring existing clients' credit activity, Cascade Alerts canlet lenders know when their past and present clients are in themarket for new mortgages, giving them a chance to vie for theirrepeat business. Cascade Verification of Incomeand Employment (VOE) – Making sure applicants have the incomeand employment history they claim is a crucial, yet cumbersome, partof the mortgage lending process. Cascade VOE makes it simplerthrough automation. By streamlining the ordering process, CascadeVOE helps lenders complete verifications faster and moreaffordably.Cascade Prequal – Lendersthat offer prequalification cast a wider net for potential leads.Prequalification also helps aspiring homeowners understand theircreditworthiness without harming their credit scores. With CascadePrequal, lenders can offer prequalification on their website andshare automated responses with their applicants, exp

Today's Real Estate Coaching and Training podcast is PART 2 of 'Working With Buyers- Prequalification, Motivation, Exclusive Agency' On this podcast you will learn: - How to get a buyer to sign an exclusive buyer agency agreement. - How to prequalify your buyers for motivation. - How to really, truly prequalify for financial ability to buy.   - Tim and Julie Harris will role-play their copyright Buyer Prequalification Script.  4 - Buyers must actually communicate with you urgently. When you leave a message to see a home today which meets their criteria, they need to either answer the phone or call you back with urgency. If you are chasing them down or feel ghosted, you are working with an unmotivated buyer. 5 - Buyers must have realistic expectations based on both their qualifications and what your market has to offer.  Finding a 4 bedroom, 3 bath in Santa Monica for $300,000 is not likely to happen! 6 - Buyers must be willing and able to meet the expectations your market requires to compete if necessary. What happens to their down payment if they have to close the appraisal gap with cash? How far over asking are they able to go and still qualify for their loan? If they're not willing or able to do what it takes, you are probably wasting your time (and theirs).

Today's Real Estate Coaching and Training podcast is about working with home buyers. On this podcast you will learn: - How to get a buyer to sign an exclusive buyer agency agreement. - How to prequalify your buyers for motivation. - How to really, truly prequalify for financial ability to buy.   - Tim and Julie Harris will role-play their copyright Buyer Prequalification Script.  Fact: No buyer actually HAS TO buy. They can always rent, move in with parents or kids, travel the country in an RV, or extend their current lease.   Fact: When you have enough active listings, you can refer your buyer prospects to buyer partners for a referral fee. Work with your own repeat clients and refer the rest.

This is the Real Estate Success system you need in this quickly changing market. Join Premier Coaching NOW, 100% FREE 30 Day Access!  With the changing market conditions, rising interest rates, and uncertainty in the economy, it's important to know which buyers you should spend time with and which may not be serious. How do you know the difference? 1 - Buyers should be both motivated AND qualified. It's possible to be really motivated but not actually qualified as well as the other way around. Look at your buyer list and ask yourself if they are both. Listen now as Tim and Julie share a portion of their buyer prequalification script. Listen to the questions and the order in which the questions are asked.  2 - In order to see property with you, buyers must either have a proof of funds letter if they're all cash or a pre-approval letter with specific qualifiers from their lender. Ideally, they are actually at loan commitment, pending only the identification (and perhaps appraisal) of the property. A lender Letter MUST include all of the things that actually go into a real loan commitment: - Verification of down payment - Verification of employment - Ratios are acceptable - All 3 credit bureau scores have been verified - Not contingent on anything except identification of the property and appraisal at or above the purchase price - Purchaser is a US Citizen - Pre-approved to purchase at the price they are in contract for 3 - Buyers must be non-combative and 'coachable' by you. Meet and present your buyer presentation, educating them on market conditions as well as what they should expect from you. If, after that presentation, they still want to 'low ball' or look before they're prequalified, they may not be serious. Your goal of the buyer presentation is to get the buyers to sign an exclusive buyer agency agreement. You must use the HARRIS Buyer Presentation to explain to the buyer why they would want to work with you exclusively. What are your USPs? (unique selling propositions). What makes you different from other buyer agents? What are the risk reversals of your buyer agency agreement? etc.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Converting web leads is the dream for virtually every B2B company. What if we told you there's a way to increase the conversion rate for web visitors by as much as double your current rates? In today's episode of The Sales Evangelist, Donald is joined by co-founder and CEO of Chili Piper, Nicolas Vandenberghe, to discuss how his SaaS platform does just that. Only a fraction of website visitors turns into sales leads. The key to improving your conversion rate is to automate your inbound process.  The old inbound strategy depended on a human salesperson reaching out to a prospect (typically based on a form submission.) This humanist delay can result in up to days of lag time between the form and the response. And the business world is just too fast-paced for that. Speed to Lead helps overcome this issue by automating the qualification process and scheduling meetings in real-time. Prequalification is critical to faster client acquisition. You don't want to waste time interacting with a potential client who won't be suitable for your product. (And conversely, you shouldn't want to waste their time.) Because so much data is available, clients can be pre-qualified automatically. For example, prequalification based on company size or revenue is easily accessible information that can be automatically checked with the initial form submission. Qualifying based on intent is trickier, but it can be accomplished through observing website visit frequency to gauge intent. Consider reallocating manpower to positions only humans can do. Human beings are better at influencing and building trust, which is why Nicholas recommends inbound SDRs be reallocated to outbound SDR positions.  Many elements of the inbound process are menial and repetitive, like scheduling meetings and answering form submissions. People don't need to spend so much time on the administrative elements of the profession. The added value of a real salesperson is in our ability to influence - something machines just can't do as effectively. Nicolas's final takeaway? The beauty of machines is that you can continually optimize them to better serve you and your prospects. You can experiment with which criteria are most important and adjust accordingly. Decisions are made fast, and they go to the fastest-moving person. So don't let a lag time in inbound messaging cause slow sales cycles that result in opportunity loss.

On this episode, we spotlight Jeff Nolan, Risk Engineer at Cove Programs. Jeff shares four opportunities to improving prequalification and subcontractor selection processes for contractors to maximize success on a project. By (1) avoiding silos while doing prequalification, (2) developing a consistent risk mitigation plan, (3) consistently applying the developed processes, and (4) capturing the lessons learned, GC's are better positioned to see improvement in their risk management strategy and claims process. Growing up in California, Jeff shares his career journey after graduating from the University of California, Davis. From Bechtel to Zurich and now Cove, Jeff has worked globally in Dubai, The United Arab Emirates, London, and Germany. Leveraging his global expertise, Jeff shares his view of the main differences between SDI and surety bonds. He then provides listeners with four steps to improving a contractor's prequalification and subcontractor selection process. These include: 1.Don't do Prequal in a Silo or Vacuum 2.Develop a Risk Mitigation Process 3.Consistently Apply the Developed Processes 4.Capture the Lessons Learned Tune in to learn more about these four steps and how they can benefit project teams today.

Tune in to this episode of The Building BITE Podcast, as we hear from industry experts about key topics to help you be successful. In this episode, Peter Duggan and Mike Diercksen welcome William (Bill) Lane, Risk Manager at the Hudson Insurance Group. Bill takes us on his career journey from his experience developing first-hand knowledge working for one of ENRs top General Contractors to where he is today. Throughout the episode, Bill breaks down what SDI is. He shares that he understands a thing or two because he has seen a thing or two from the amount of prequal files he has reviewed. Bill continues by demystifying what is in a typical prequal file. Bill offers his perspective on why a contractor must have an effective prequalification process in place. If not, contractors can lose millions of dollars if a subcontractor defaults on a large construction project. To improve a subcontractor's prequalification process, Bill expands on the benefits that can be achieved if contractors: • Implement a Financial and Operational Assessment • Add Prequalification Data into the Bid-Leveling Form • And Use Technology as a Tool, Not a Solution If you are a contractor, make sure to efficiently go through your prequalification process, as it could save you millions down the road. By assessing a subcontractor's financial and operational capacity and including them on the Bid-Leveling Sheet, you are bound to see an improvement in your prequal process.

The first proper step in the home buying process is to complete a financial prequalification process. Prequalification helps both the borrower and the cash buyer in that it helps align what the predetermined money will buy. However, most importantly, it helps the seller know that the buyer is financially qualified in advance of accepting an offer allowing the buyer to have a competitive advantage during negotiation   Learn more here: https://thegriffin.co/is-a-financial-prequalification-process-beneficial-ask-a-griffin   GRAB OUR FREE COURSES ➡ 6 Steps To Home Buyer Success - http://griffinbuyercourse.com ➡ 7 Steps To Home Seller Plan - http://griffinsellercourse.com ➡ 8 Steps To Agent Success - http://griffinagentcourse.com   SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ➡ Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2HGL5qI ➡ PocketCasts: https://pca.st/itunes/1498940561 ➡ Castro: https://castro.fm/itunes/1498940561   #GriffinRealtyGroup #DannyGriffin #HomeSellerTips

In today's episode, we discuss which is stronger. Prequalification or Preapproval?

Your mortgage can be a deal maker or a deal breaker.  When you are buying a home for the first time or as a repeat buyer, it is irrelevant to communicate to a home seller that you are ready and willing…you need to communicate that you are ready , willing and able to buy.  The only way to properly communicate your ability to buy is via a Mortgage Pre-Approval Letter.    Mortgage Strategist Kevin Martini with the Martini Mortgage Group at Benchmark Mortgages discusses the material differences between a mortgage pre-qualification and mortgage pre-approval in episode 109 of the Martini Mortgage Podcast.   Kevin Martini | NMLS ID 143962 | Chief Mortgage Strategist and Branch Manager | Martini Mortgage Group at Benchmark Mortgage | Ark-La-Tex Financial Services, LLC NMLS ID 2143 | 507 N Blount St Raleigh, NC 27604 | (919) 238-4934 | www.KevinMartini.com | Kevin@KevinMartini.com | Equal Housing Opportunity

The NPSTTM document provides information on a proposed framework for companies wishing to become prequalified for temporary traffic management works. Prequalification is a mandatory requirement for all works managed by state and territory road authorities participating in the scheme. Local governments and other road infrastructure sector representatives may also adopt the scheme as part of their contracts. Austroads is currently seeking comments on the NPSTTM and this webinar is an opportunity for industry representatives to learn more about the document before they submit their feedback on 28 August 2020.

Growing your qualified leads and converting them to sales is the key to any successful business, especially right now. Yet, if you are like most people, you are noticing that it is getting harder and harder to do. This is because most lead generation software can't distinguish between leads that convert and those that don't, but today we had Juliet Clark on the show to talk about how she is changing that. Juliet has had a far-reaching career in marketing, writing, and even real estate, but when she self-published her first book after working for Nissan, she realized that entrepreneurs don't do nearly enough market research. This is when she created her quiz-based software applications that both entrepreneurs and their potential clients can take. Juliet talks about how her software helps entrepreneurs get clearer about who their potential clients are by taking the most promising ones through a quiz that acts as a vetting process.---Our gracious sponsor: You could feed a child for a dollar a day… But what if children could feed themselves... and feed their family and generations to come? Leaders Yielding to New Knowledge, or LY2NK, is a non-profit organization that focuses on empowering people to form self-sufficient, sustainable communities.

This week Brennen breaks down why being pre-approved is an important and necessary step in the home buying process. Hello again lovely listeners! We are back again with our favorite hobby: busting misconceptions about the home buying process wise open. Now at a first glance being pre-approved for a loan and being prequalified for a loan would seem to be two ways of saying the same thing, but they are not. You might have talked to someone and know roughly what you are prequalified for, in terms of a loan, but that number is not the same as what you can necessarily expect to get pre-approved for. That’s why this week on the Clouse Corner we are getting into all the differences between the two, and also why you should be working off the number that you are pre-approved for and not the one you’re prequalified for! Get ready to hear the term “pre” a lot in this weeks preview into the preconceptions surrounding these predetermining prefigurements on the Clouse Corner! As always you can reach us on our various social media platforms: Instagram Facebook Twitter Also online at: TheClouseGroup.com Thanks for listening!

https://www.keytovegashome.com/resources/book-inside-secrets Mistake #1: Not sure where you want to live? KEY #1: Start looking for your area first In a neighborhood with high demand and a lot of motivated buyers, homes can sell within a few days. You don’t want to get stuck in a position where you are making a rushed decision on a home because your current one is about to sell. I help my buyers “know” where they want to live. Mistake #2: Letting Zillow building a search for you. KEY #2: We build searches for them NOT Zillow! Zillow is using my old data (from my paid fees to GLVAR as a Realtor) Zillow does not get current and accurate information, it’s old, not updated, and most times inaccurate. I help buyers understand that searching on Zillow only leads to disappointment, discouragement, and dead dreams. I Build searches into kvCORE so the system will help you see what's going on online with your search. Mistake #3: Not being COA approved KEY #3: Get COA Approved You might know that you’ll be “approved” for a mortgage loan based on your steady income, your low debt-to-income ratio, and your high credit score — but the seller probably doesn’t know that. The only way to prove to the seller that you’re a qualified buyer is to be underwritten from a lender. “Prequalification is absolutely paramount,” but UNDERWRITTEN will give me the power at the negotiation table. Mistake #4: Not planning for the “right” strategy KEY #4: Work on the Plan, Strategy, & Tactic To compete against other potential buyers, you want to put the least amount of contingencies on your offer as possible. In a seller’s market, I don’t recommend that you put an offer on a home that is contingent on the sale of your current one, because it will turn sellers off. If there is ever a time when a bidding war could be imminent, it’s during a seller’s market. No buyer wants to be involved in such a battle for fear of possibly going over budget. But my solution for buyers: “Set your search below your max budget to leave room in case of an over-asking bidding war.” Mistake #5: Making a low offer KEY #5: Make your best Offer The motivation to buy what we want for as little money as possible is deeply ingrained in us. So when most people see the listing price of a home, they naturally wonder what they can really get the house for? Offering lower than asking price is a reasonable strategy, especially if the house is overpriced compared with other similar homes in the area, or if it’s a buyer’s market with lots of available inventory. But trying to get a deal when you’re in a seller’s market might not be the best tactic. “In a seller’s market, many buyers do not step up with a strong enough offer.” There is usually a shortage of inventory, and the competition is usually fierce. I always encourage my buyer to come in with a strong opening offer. Music: Bensound.com
