When I first heard Kyle Scott built a $20 million-a-year mortgage business in just one year—using open houses as his main strategy—I was blown away. In this episode, I dive into Kyle's incredible journey as he shares how moving to Calgary, Alberta, with no connections didn’t stop him from scaling his business. He talks about the simplicity and power of consistently showing up, how he chooses realtor partners, and what it takes to turn a single handshake into a thriving referral pipeline.

We also explore his scaling process, including hiring his first assistant and how he's balancing growth while refining his systems. If you're curious about how to take a straightforward strategy to scale, you'll love this conversation.

Here are the talking points we covered:

• Kyle’s “beer test” for choosing who to follow up with and turning acquaintances into business partners.
• Building genuine relationships through coffees, casual outings, and regular touchpoints.
• How Kyle transitioned from managing everything solo to hiring his first assistant.
• Balancing prospecting and fulfillment while reducing stress.
• Doubling his volume to $40M next year with streamlined systems and focused prospecting.
• Expanding into partnerships with financial planners and enhancing his marketing strategies.
