For mortgage companies, having visibility into your loan origination and servicing calls is critical to ensure that agents are meeting performance targets and complying with regulatory requirements. But, it’s impossible to get complete call coverage with manual review and QA. Manual review is time-consuming, tedious, and leaves room for human error and missed violations.
PerformLine’s Call Monitoring solution allows mortgage companies to streamline their performance management and compliance monitoring processes, thus reducing risk, increasing efficiency, and providing cost savings.
Here’s why leading mortgage companies use PerformLine’s Call Monitoring for effective performance management and compliance monitoring—and why you should too.
