In the first half of 2024 alone, Dale Vermillion has spearheaded a ground-breaking partnership with ICE, created two courses for a new “learningtainment” platform, launched a weekly live show, authored a monthly newsletter, and contributed to the highly talked-about “Green Book.” Rather than winding down, Vermillion is doubling down on his unwavering commitment to the industry and everyday Americans who deserve the best mortgage possible.
Vermillion’s continued willingness to experiment — even after 40 years of keeping his nose to the grindstone — is arguably what drives the organization’s growth. Beyond his daily contributions to training, coaching and consulting the client base, Vermillion collaborates with his staff to incubate new ventures designed to extend the half-life of his influence for at least another half-century.
From navigating the complexities of building customer-centric, lender-friendly AI tools, to contributing to new content streams for educating and empowering mortgage professionals (and not just those in sales, but marketing as well), to leveraging data to help world class lenders optimize their front-end technology and human systems, Vermillion’s proven he’s an old dog willing to learn new tricks.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Always pursue knowledge that will expand your breadth and scope of expertise. Seek advice from others who are where you want to go. Establish accountability in all aspects of your life to ensure you get there. And when you get there, never think or act like you are the smartest person in the room. Let others speak first, show honor to their ideas, and weigh your words before you speak them aloud.
