Testimonial
Bills.com has consistently performed in the top tier of my stable of lead providers. They provide the quality of a boutique shop with the flexibility of a lead generator many times its size. There are a lot of middle of the pack lead generation companies right now, but Bills.com has maintained a consistent quality where others have faltered; the combination of consistency and quality is hard to beat.

Welcome to the Bills.com Lender Letter! This is our opportunity to bring you Bills.com updates, and highlight industry products, news and trends. Each month we’ll present new product features or enhancements, lead management or sales tips, relevant articles, and even the occasional video – all with the goal of helping you fund more loans.
As we wrap up a chaotic ‘07 and usher in ’08, it’s a great time to focus on getting back to basics. Making phone calls, taking applications, qualifying applicants and selling loans – the same old formula for success is what will carry the day in to next year. Consumer demand will be high, products will be limited and rates will be steady
-- Ethan and the Bills.com team

We’ve been working on tools to help our partners fund more loans in a challenging environment. Make sure to contact your Account Manager with questions or activation requests for the following products:
FHA Secure Check
the Bush administration rolled this program out in October to help those homeowners who are adversely affected by a recent or pending adjustment to their ARM. Bills.com has built a program to help applicants determine if they are eligible for the program; Read more. If you offer FHA programs, please let your Account Manager know and we’ll get you involved in this great new program! Hypo Filter
This great new tool allows us to estimate volume and pricing for new or revised filters; ask your account manager to run one for you today! Weekly Invoices
To help you stay on top of your lead costs, we have switched our standard billing period to weekly and automated the invoicing process. |

Team News
We’ve added Erin Olson to the Bills account management team. Erin comes to us from Option One and Countrywide. She’s likely been in touch with many of you, but she can be reached at eolson@bills.com.
As we mentioned at the top, December is a great month to get back to basics and pick up those old (good) habits that have helped you close loans in the past. With the market as challenging as it’s been in recent memory, the spoils will go to those who maintain the same consistent work ethic through the month and carry some strong momentum in to January. We’ll leave it to the great American, businessman and inventor, Thomas Edison, to summarize:
"The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense."
