Your Move
Reach out to hiring managers and new hires directly as they onboard. Position Homebot as day-one database engagement tool for new LOs: '$125/mo gets them started with 100 clients, upgrades as they grow.' Small shop = decision velocity. No enterprise bureaucracy.

⚡ ACT THIS WEEK · First Continental Mortgage, Ltd.
First Continental posted Executive Assistant to CEO and President role in February (closed), plus 11 total openings in Q1 including IT Business Systems Analyst, Senior Underwriter, and Mortgage Loan Processor. Executive-level support hiring indicates C-suite bandwidth for strategic initiatives. 3 producing LOs, 65% anticipated growth.
Your Move
Flag this to Sam Bakeris (Enterprise AE) — exec-level hiring at a small shop signals M&A prep or major expansion. Not your territory for C-suite pitch, but worth monitoring for field-level LO adds as they scale.
Homebot Angle
Executive hiring + aggressive LO growth = vendor consolidation window. If they're investing in infrastructure, they're standardizing tools. Position Homebot as the engagement layer that scales with them — whether they hire 2 LOs or 20.

Homebot Angle

Your Move
Research Gil Arbitsman on LinkedIn, craft CFO-friendly outreach: 'Homebot drives measurable ROI — $125-300/LO/month, 86% engagement-to-transaction rate. Finance teams appreciate our usage-based model.' New CFO hasn't inherited legacy vendor relationships — fresh evaluation window before Q2 budget closes.
Homebot Angle
CFOs care about ROI and retention metrics, not feature lists. Homebot positions as revenue driver: keeps clients engaged post-close, drives repeat/referral business. Average customer has 194 clients — scale this across 82 LOs, show him the math. New CFO = vendor evaluation window still open.
179 LOs at 12% penetration = 157 LOs available for capture. Three TKWWA contacts (Jason Reedy, Kevin Parsells, Nicholas Totarella) who already know Homebot from previous employers — warm doors into a massive expansion opportunity. Encompass integration already in tech stack. Lead with familiarity, not cold outreach.
Tiny shop (3 LOs) with outsized hiring ambition (65% growth, 11 openings). Executive hiring signals strategic investment. Not your C-suite territory, but watch for LO-level expansion opportunities as they scale.
First Continental posted Executive Assistant to CEO and President role in February 2026 (now closed). Also posted 11 total openings including IT Business Systems Analyst, Senior Underwriter, Senior Mortgage Loan Processor, and Mortgage Post Closing Loan Shipper. Executive-level support hiring indicates C-suite bandwidth for strategic initiatives. 3 producing LOs, 65% anticipated growth.
Your Move
Flag to Sam Bakeris (Enterprise AE) — exec-level hiring at a small shop often signals M&A prep or major expansion. Not your territory for C-suite outreach, but monitor for field-level LO adds as they scale.
Homebot Angle
Executive support + IT systems analyst hiring suggests infrastructure buildout. If they're standardizing systems, they're picking vendor partners. Position Homebot as the engagement layer that scales with them — whether they add 2 LOs or 20.
Existing customer with massive untapped upside. 2% penetration + hiring momentum = CSM expansion opportunity. Consumer-direct model means LOs need Homebot's post-close engagement even more — no realtor referral network to lean on. Coordinate with Mike Zanatta this week.
Existing Customer at 2% Penetration — 40 LOs Available, Hiring 3 Roles
American Financing is an existing Homebot customer under CSM Mike Zanatta with only 2% penetration (1 of 41 LOs). 40 LOs available for capture, 3 job openings posted (VP Product Operations Experience, Security Engineer, Shipper). Low adoption despite being a managed customer = expansion opportunity for Mike's CSM conversation.
Your Move
Flag to Mike Zanatta: 'American Financing at 2% penetration with 40 LOs available — low adoption on an active account is expansion gold. They're also hiring (3 openings) which means new LOs in tool-decision mode. Want to do a joint outreach to their ops team?'
Homebot Angle
Low penetration at an existing customer = they know the product works but haven't rolled it out. New LO captures = net-new revenue for the account, strengthens Mike's expansion case. Consumer-direct lender (radio/print) means their LOs need post-close engagement tools even more — no realtor referral engine to lean on.
Existing customer with 6% penetration and aggressive hiring (15 openings, 15% growth). 87 LOs available = massive expansion upside for Bethany Neeley's CSM conversation. Coordinate with her this week to target new hires before they lock in competing tools.
Existing Customer at 6% Penetration — 87 LOs Available, 15 Job Openings Posted
Service First Mortgage is an existing Homebot customer under CSM Bethany Neeley with only 6% penetration (6 of 93 LOs). 87 LOs available for capture, 15 job openings posted in Q1 (15% anticipated growth) including Post Closing Final Docs Specialist, Processing Associate, Team Loan Officer, and Associate Underwriter roles. Low penetration + hiring surge = expansion opportunity.
Your Move
Flag to Bethany Neeley: 'SFMC at 6% penetration with 87 LOs available and 15 openings posted — this is a textbook expansion account. New LO captures = net-new revenue, strengthens your growth story. Want to coordinate outreach to their recruiting/onboarding team?'
Homebot Angle
Low penetration at an existing customer means they know Homebot works but haven't scaled it. New LO hires are in their 30-day tool decision window — if Homebot is part of their onboarding, it becomes standard infrastructure. Position this to Bethany as 'new LOs = new revenue without new sales cycles.'
First Home is on a hot streak with public recognition for affordable housing impact. This momentum creates an ideal opening to position Homebot as the tool that keeps clients engaged post-close and drives long-term referrals from satisfied first-time buyers.
First Home Mortgage Corporation was recognized as the Top Performing Lender at the Maryland Mortgage Program's 2025 annual partner awards on March 26, 2026. Individual LOs Tammi Printz and Ryan Paquin also received top producer honors, reflecting strong performance in affordable homeownership programs.
Your Move
Congratulate CSM Abby Bogart and the First Home team on the award. Schedule check-in with top-performing LOs Tammi Printz and Ryan Paquin to showcase how Homebot can amplify their success with clients and drive referrals.
Homebot Angle
Award-winning LOs are perfect Homebot champions. First Home is crushing it with DPA and first-time buyers—exactly the audience that benefits most from ongoing client engagement. At 49% penetration across 119 LOs, there's significant whitespace to activate more of the team. Use top performers as case studies to drive internal adoption.
101 LOs, zero penetration, CEO with prior Homebot exposure. Sustainable home focus creates natural Homebot alignment (equity + energy efficiency narrative). Smart home integrations show tech sophistication — they'll appreciate Homebot's API capabilities. Warm door via Hayes Bernard.
GoodLeap expanded California Virtual Power Plant participation in May 2025, integrating with Google Nest, ecobee, and Honeywell smart home devices via proprietary GEMS software. 101 producing LOs, zero Homebot penetration. Hayes Bernard (CEO) has Decision Maker flags from a previous Homebot customer per Common Room data.
Your Move
Reach out to
Hayes Bernard (CEO) who already knows Homebot from a previous relationship: 'Hayes, I see you've worked with Homebot before — would love to reconnect now that you're at GoodLeap. With 101 LOs and your sustainable home focus, Homebot could layer home equity insights into your client engagement strategy.'
Homebot Angle
GoodLeap's sustainable home mission aligns perfectly with Homebot's equity education — help homeowners understand how energy-efficient improvements build equity. Hayes already knows the product, so this is a warm reconnect, not a cold pitch. Zero penetration = greenfield opportunity.
9 LOs, 22% penetration (7 available). Pam Carrington (Regional Business Manager) is a known decision-maker from a previous Homebot customer — warm reconnect opportunity. Small shop = fast decisions, no enterprise bureaucracy. Lead with familiarity, show what's new since her last exposure.
15 LOs, 20% penetration, 12 available. Christian Hartung (Divisional Sales Executive) knows Homebot from previous employer. Premier Sotheby's partnership creates natural Homebot fit (Partner Intel for agent co-sponsorship). Warm reconnect with timely business development hook.
Premier Sotheby's International Realty partnered with Select Lending Services in January 2025 to provide in-house mortgage services to clients in Naples and Tampa. 15 producing LOs, 20% penetration (12 available). Christian Hartung 🔗 (Divisional Sales Executive) is a known decision-maker from a previous Homebot customer.
Your Move
Reach out to
Christian Hartung 🔗: 'Christian, I know you used Homebot before — congrats on the Premier Sotheby's partnership. With that realtor integration, Homebot's Partner Intel (agent co-sponsorship) could strengthen LO-agent relationships even further. Want to see what's new?'
Homebot Angle
Premier Sotheby's partnership = built-in realtor relationships. Homebot's Partner Intel lets Select's LOs co-sponsor those Sotheby's agents ($10-25/agent/mo), keeping the referral loop tight. Christian already knows Homebot, so frame this as an enhancement to the new partnership, not a cold pitch.
SWBC is investing in leadership to drive growth. The CMO hire suggests a strategic push to differentiate in a competitive market, making this a prime time to position Homebot as a retention and engagement solution.
Angelica Palm joined SWBC as CMO on March 5, 2026, bringing over 20 years of marketing leadership experience to strengthen brand strategy and support the company's continued growth.
Your Move
Reach out to CSM Connor Parsons to identify new marketing initiatives or expansion plans that could create upsell opportunities. New CMO often signals budget for new tools and platforms.
Homebot Angle
CMO hire typically indicates focus on customer acquisition and retention tools. Homebot's LO engagement platform aligns perfectly with a brand-building strategy focused on long-term homeowner relationships. With 71% penetration and 155 producing LOs, there's room to expand usage across the remaining 29%.
Large shop (141 LOs) with low penetration (4%) and strong tech stack alignment (Total Expert, BombBomb). Partnership with Down Payment Resource signals homebuyer-first culture — Homebot's equity education fits that narrative. Lead with integration story, not cold pitch.
Alcova Mortgage partnered with Down Payment Resource in August 2025 to expand access to homeownership. 141 producing LOs, 4% Homebot penetration (135 LOs available). Also uses Total Expert CRM and BombBomb video.
Your Move
Lead with tech stack synergy: 'I see Alcova uses Total Expert and BombBomb — Homebot integrates directly with both. Your LOs can embed BombBomb videos in Homebot Home Digests, and Total Expert syncs client data automatically. No manual uploads, just enhanced engagement.'
Homebot Angle
Down Payment Resource partnership shows Alcova cares about homebuyer accessibility — Homebot's Home Digest reinforces that mission by educating clients on equity building and refinance opportunities. Total Expert + BombBomb integrations mean zero friction for LO adoption.
