- 1. To Whom it May Concern, My name is Kurt Steinfort. I met Bill Rogers over a decade and a half ago when he owned and operated a historic restoration and General Contracting Company. It was then that I first worked under his mentorship. Right from the start it became very evident that Bill had a keen business sense, a tremendous work ethic and natural leadership ability. I remember on one particular occasion some friends working at another company's job site were absolutely stumped on how to fix a problem to complete some construction. Bill hopped out of his truck, took a look at the issue, and in seconds was able to offer solutions to overcome the problem that all the other carpenters could not figure out. Bill has an uncanny gift to see polished, final results when the "materials" are in their raw form. When faced with obstacles no one is better on finding solutions. It is this vision, diligence, and natural talent that served Bill so well when he decided to change his career path and venture into the mortgage industry. After working for a well-known mortgage firm and learning the business, Bill opened up a small brokerage. He offered me the opportunity to join him and I am very grateful that he did so. Bill trained me as a loan officer and within months I was running a crew of 5-10 loan officers as a manager. Bill also trained the processors. Bill taught me a tremendous amount of skills on the art of salesmanship, from assuming the sale to coming from a place of strength, not weakness. He gave me the skills that serve me well to this day. As for business sense and sales skills, I have yet to meet his equal. In no time the business grew leaps and bounds. Bill tripled his sales force and we moved to a massive office to accommodate the incoming business and the employees handling it. With Bill at the helm, I was given the role of Vice President of Sales with a team of 20+ loan officers. As the C.E.O, Bill was fantastic to work for. His expectations were high and he knew how to get the most out of his employees. Out of all the ways he thrived as an entrepreneur, there is one quality that I admire most. Bill was exceptional at tailoring his leadership skills to the individual. In other words, Bill understood that everyone who worked for him was different. Some employees thrive from one leadership style while others require a different approach. Bill is able to recognize that, and adapt. I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Bill for many years and consider any individual or company equally as fortunate to have Bill as a candidate to join their organization. If you would like to contact me, please do not hesitate to do so. Warmest Regards, Kurt Steinfort kurtsfort75@yahoo.com (609) 313-4656
