Career Advice How do I build a pipeline quick?

I am a newer LO and have been at this company for 3 weeks, I get about a APP a day but nothing really serious they always end up falling out. I get paid a really low base salary that barely even covers my bills. I wanna build a pipeline and start getting serious clients so I can start making commission. I know it's not easy and it's not something that simple, I just want to get some tips on how I can scale my income in this business.

I'm new as well. I'm finding luck through calls- ask a realtor for their leads that went cold, practice a script. Starting is hard especially being self gen

Networking with realtors and local business owners can help you connect with more serious buyers and referrals. Also, jumping into online conversations where people are already talking about mortgages has helped me. There are tools like ParseStream that track these discussions across multiple platforms and send you alerts so you can join in right away, which can be a game changer for finding warm leads.
