A Good Problem To Have

by Mark Green on December 3, 2008

One of my earlier posts discussed the events of Tuesday, November 25th, and how the Top of Mind Networks Surefire System helped our clients identify literally thousands of refinance opportunities – automatically.

I guess we at Top of Mind learned what seems like a funny lesson now – our system is so powerful that the sheer number of “Opportunitiy Alerts” we sent our clients on 11/25 actually caused many of the major ISP’s like Yahoo, Hotmail, Bellsouth, etc. to temporarily blacklist our domain!

You see, when we identify a potential refinance opportunity on our clients’ behalf, we send them an email we call an “Opportunity Alert”.  For example, if you have a borrower on a 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.5% and rates suddenly drop to 5.25%, this triggers our system to notify you via email.

The events of 11/25 set off a frenzy of refinance opportunities in our Surefire System.  We began sending thousands of legitimate refi alerts, and even the ISP’s were overwhelmed by Surefire’s success :) .

Obviously, we’ve figured out a way to ensure that we prevent this from happening again in the future.  But I couldn’t help but share the experience.

If for some reason you’ve stumbled upon this blog and would like to view a live web demonstration with me, please contact us by phone (866) TOP-MIND or visit our site at http://www.topofmind.com.
