Ok guys I dont remember in the last 6 placing a 1 "DRY APP" with any of my companies. My IMO is here, and he can correct me if I am wrong. I still ask for the bank account information when I get to it on the app, and 99% of the time they give it to me, and when I walk out of the house after handling that objection I have everything signed and paramed scheduled if possible. It is a way to handle the objection and move along to the contract...
If they won't give me a check for the 1st payment or permission to draft it I walk. If they have no "skin in the game" they usually won't take it anyway. Even if they agree to a paramed (I write a lot of non med though) and they have no financial committment I don't consider that a true sale.
