Total Expert Support

Total Expert support from someone who ran it inside a lender

Total Expert is a powerful platform, and most lenders use a fraction of it. Journeys go stale, lead routing sends the wrong leads to the wrong loan officers, the contact database fills with duplicates, and the marketing team spends its week on requests instead of campaigns. George Chapin led CRM and analytics at three Northeast Ohio mortgage lenders and worked in Total Expert hands-on. We help your team get the results the platform was bought for.

What's included

What our total expert support covers

Journey build and cleanup

New Journeys for milestones, rate watches, and past-client recapture, plus an audit of the ones already running so borrowers stop getting duplicate or outdated messages.

Lead routing and assignment rules

Routing that matches how your branches and loan officers actually work, with speed-to-lead alerts and a fallback when nobody claims a lead.

Data hygiene and deduplication

Contact and lead cleanup, field standards, and import rules so reporting is trustworthy and loan officers see one record per customer.

Loan milestone communication

Automated email and text updates from application to closing. George designed a system like this at a lender and it cut inbound status calls.

Adoption and training

A CRM adoption scorecard by loan officer and branch, short training sessions, and follow-up on the people who are not logging in.

Reporting outside the platform

Dashboards in Looker Studio or Power BI that tie Total Expert activity to applications and funded loans, using your LOS data.

Fractional CRM admin

A named person for changes, questions, and new requests, without hiring a full-time Total Expert administrator.

What Total Expert support from us looks like

We start with a working session and an account review: Journeys, lead sources and routing, contact data quality, integrations with your LOS and lead providers, compliance approval flows for content, and who is actually using the platform. You get a written list of issues ranked by impact on loan volume, with a fixed quote for each fix.

From there, most clients either hire us for a defined project, such as rebuilding milestone Journeys or cleaning up routing, or keep us on as a fractional admin for a set number of hours each month. Either way, you keep your Total Expert contract and your data. We are an independent consultant, not a reseller.

Everything we build gets measured. Adoption by loan officer, response time to new leads, and campaign results are reported monthly, and where your LOS data allows it we tie CRM activity to applications and funded loans.

Why a lender background matters here

Mortgage CRM work has rules other industries do not. Marketing texts need prior express written consent, STOP requests must be honored immediately, and advertising content needs compliance review before it goes out. Loan officers will not use a system that adds clicks to their day, and processors need to see the same status the borrower sees.

George Chapin spent 20+ years in CRM, marketing automation, and analytics, including leading CRM and analytics at three Northeast Ohio lenders. He built a CRM adoption scorecard whose automations produced one to two additional loans per loan officer per month, designed a milestone communication system that reduced status calls, and built lead-scoring and retention models. That is the lens we bring to your Total Expert account.

Nothing on this page is legal or compliance advice. We build to the rules your compliance team sets and keep an audit trail of what was sent to whom.

Common Total Expert problems we help with

  • Journeys built by a vendor or a former employee that nobody understands or dares to turn off.
  • Leads from your website, aggregators, and referral partners landing with the wrong loan officer, or with no one.
  • Duplicate contacts and inconsistent fields that make every report an argument.
  • Past customers who never hear from you again after closing, so the refinance goes to someone else.
  • Realtor and referral-partner co-marketing that is set up but not actually running.
  • Low adoption: a handful of loan officers use the platform and the rest work from their phones.
  • No way to show leadership what the CRM investment produced.

Who this is for

  • Mortgage lenders, banks, and credit unions already on Total Expert.
  • Marketing and sales-enablement teams that need an experienced admin without adding headcount.
  • Lenders rolling out newer Total Expert capabilities, such as Customer Intelligence signals, who want them wired into Journeys and routing rather than left switched on and ignored.
  • Leaders who want CRM activity reported against loan volume, not just email opens.

FAQ

Total Expert Support: common questions

Do you work for Total Expert?

No. Rapid Web Systems is an independent consultant. Total Expert licenses, platform support, and product roadmap come from Total Expert. We work inside your account on configuration, Journeys, routing, data, adoption, and reporting, and we coordinate with Total Expert support when a platform issue needs their team.

Can you help with Total Expert Journeys?

Yes. We build new Journeys for loan milestones, rate watches, past-client recapture, and referral-partner nurture, and we audit existing Journeys for overlaps, stale content, and consent problems. Every Journey we build is documented so your team knows what it does and when it fires.

How do you improve Total Expert adoption among loan officers?

We measure it first, with a scorecard by loan officer and branch showing logins, tasks, and lead response times. Then we remove friction, such as extra fields and duplicate alerts, run short role-based training, and follow up individually with the people who are not using it. At a previous lender this approach produced one to two additional loans per loan officer per month.

Can you connect Total Expert reporting to our LOS?

Usually. We build dashboards in Looker Studio or Power BI that combine Total Expert activity with loan data exported from your LOS, so leadership can see which campaigns and loan officers produce applications and funded loans. The exact approach depends on what your LOS and Total Expert plan can export.

What does Total Expert consulting cost?

It depends on the size of your team and the state of the account, so we quote after a free consult. Most engagements are either a fixed-price project, such as a Journey rebuild or routing cleanup, or a monthly block of fractional admin hours. All work is 100% guaranteed: if you are not delighted, you do not pay the invoice.

Do you also work with GoHighLevel for mortgage teams?

Yes. For smaller brokerages and independent loan officers who do not need Total Expert, we set up and support GoHighLevel as a mortgage CRM. If you are deciding between the two, we will tell you honestly which one fits your volume, compliance needs, and budget.
