Every Conversation Is Worth the Conversation | Amanda Padd (Secure Insight)

In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Padd, Chief Revenue Officer at Secure Insight, to talk about selling fraud prevention and risk management technology into the mortgage industry. Amanda explains why many lenders only start looking for solutions after a scare, an audit finding, or an actual fraud event, and why companies need to think about wire and closing fraud before it becomes too late.We also talk about why mortgage is still such a relationship-driven, face-to-face industry. Amanda shares how she uses conferences, in-person meetings, and vendor-only dinners to build trust, create referral relationships, and stay top of mind with lenders and other mortgage technology providers. She also explains why reputation matters so much in a small industry, why partying at conferences can damage credibility, and how she decides when a prospect is serious versus just wasting time.Amanda also shares how consistency has helped grow her personal brand over the past year. From LinkedIn to podcasts, awards, publications, and conferences, she explains why there is no single silver bullet and why showing up consistently across multiple channels is what really moves the needle.TOPICS WE COVERWhy lenders often wait until after a fraud scare to look for risk prevention toolsHow Secure Insight helps mortgage lenders protect against wire and closing fraudWhy mortgage is still such a face-to-face, relationship-driven industryHow vendor-only dinners can create referral relationships and industry trustThe biggest reputation mistakes people make at mortgage conferencesWhy consistency across LinkedIn, conferences, podcasts, and industry events builds a stronger personal brandABOUT THE GUESTAmanda Padd is the Chief Revenue Officer at Secure Insight, a fintech company in the mortgage industry that helps lenders protect themselves against wire fraud, closing fraud, and third-party risk at the closing table.
