EP 71, Ann and Mark Lackey

Business Playmakers is proud to present the founders of Hire Smart VAs, Ann and Mark Lackey. Ann and Mark were both outside sales reps for many years and part of group that shared business leads. During that time, one of the members of the group became sick and couldn’t work. They were commission sales people so if someone didn’t work, they didn’t get paid. This caused a sudden reality check with Mark and Ann, and they began to think about how they would support their family if one of them were not able to work. Mark and Ann began doing what they do best, they researched ways they could make passive income that could sustain them in the event of an emergency. This is when they discovered real estate, and after getting their own systems in place, others wanted to know how they did it. Once again Mark and Ann saw an opportunity, and in 2005 they got their real estate license and began helping others manage their real estate portfolios. The business took off and now Mark and Ann are managing 225 properties. A few years later, another problem arose when their business grew to a size that more people were needed to help manage. Hiring and maintaining quality staff was difficult and became a problem when Mark and Ann were on vacation and were notified by their Marketing Manager, who had been with them for four years, that they were quitting immediately. This was a devastating blow to their business, however Mark and Ann did what they always do, and they began to research ways to fix it. This is when they found the idea of full time dedicated virtual employees outsourced to other countries.  Now Mark and Ann have created a business around helping others to discover ways to free up their time by hiring full time outsourced staff. Ann and Mark Lackey have written five books, three of which are best sellers, created multiple businesses, and trained hundreds of others on how to also be successful in the are of real estate investing, and property management. Enjoy this week’s episode as Mark and Ann tell their story and tell us what success really means to them.

EP 69, Sean Zalmanoff

Business Playmakers podcast is excited to bring you Sean Zalmanoff. Sean is an experienced mortgage professional and entrepreneur who didn’t set out to be a business owner, but instead saw how wrong others were doing it and wanted to do things different and better. Sean graduated college in 2000, worked in a restaurant, and enjoyed it because it allowed him to live the college lifestyle while making more money than most of his friends who had “real jobs”. While working at the restaurant/ bar, Sean had a customer who had been trying to hire him since his sophomore year of college, and thought Sean would be a great fit for the mortgage industry. September 11th happened and overnight the college students that had been coming into the bar and were thought to have unlimited bank accounts, because of their parents,  were told to stop spending money. It was like the money went away. So Sean decided to start a new journey, and took his customer up on the offer to hire him for the mortgage industry. Sean moved to St. Louis and in 9 months, discovered everything that was wrong with the mortgage business, as he mentions in the podcast interview. Sean wanted to help people so he left the company he was with and started working for other companies that he thought were better, until finally he opened his own company called Monster Mortgage in 2005. In 2009 he joined with USA Mortgage and recently celebrated 10 years with the company. Because of the many experiences he has had in the mortgage industry, and because of his desire to help others, Sean Zalmanoff decided to start Next Level Loan Officers in 2017. Next Level Loan Officers is service that aims to mentor and coach Loan Officers to be more efficient and productive.

John worked in the construction industry during college and after college until he became a project manager with a large construction company. John worked his way up to be the head person in charge after the owners of the company, and was on track to be an owner himself because 2 of the owners were planning to sell out. John was putting his heart and soul into this company on the impression that one day he would be an owner and building a legacy for the future of the company. To his surprise the company was sold without his knowledge and he was not given the opportunity. John immediately went to work for a competitor and found the grass on the other side was not as green or as profitable. According to John, the company didn’t know how to make money. Frustrated, John decided he was going to start his own construction company and was doing well for a start up business with no customers, but things got even better as his previous boss from the company that was sold needed his help. Through that, John’s first year in business ,after starting Hopper Construction Company in 1999, he was able to contract six million dollars in construction jobs. In this episode of Business Playmakers John tells in detail the ins and outs of the construction industry, and gives a perspective that is rarely told.
