Nation’s Leading Mortgage Originator Tells How To Become a Sales Superstar Dan Milstein

ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN – Daniel Milstein, CEO of Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group, shares the secrets to his success in the newly-released book, The ABC of Sales.

Aspiring sales superstars will find several valuable reasons to read and study Milstein’s power-packed book:

  • The author is ranked as the Number One loan officer in the nation for 2009 & 2010
  • Dan Milstein is listed in the top 40 mortgage professionals in the nation
  • GoldStar has been one of the Inc. 500 fastest growing companies in the U.S. for two consecutive years.

It’s for these reasons that when Daniel Milstein has something to say, top salespeople across the nation take interest. Milstein published The ABC of Sales (ISBN 978-0-9835527-0-3), Gold Star Publishing, 2011, $19.95, 196 pages, http://www.ABCofSales.com as a guide for anyone who wants to soar to the top in sales, revive their sales careers, or position their companies among the elite.

Brian Tracy, one of the most renowned sales trainers ever says, “This inspiring book not only tells an exciting tale of success and achievement, it also gives you the tools and strategies you need to achieve all your goals.”

Former FOX News Producer Jess Todtfeld says “With this book, Dan Milstein will join Zig Ziglar, John Maxwell, Og Mandino, and Brian Tracy in the pantheon of salesmen we should all learn from.”
Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Daniel and his family relocated to the United States after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. He received his education with honors in business management and finance and graduated with a BBA from Cleary University, Ann Arbor.

Milstein worked his way up from assistant consumer lending manager, to general manager, to underwriter, to Chief Operating Officer and finally Chief Executive Officer within the various financial institutions.

But what truly motivates Milstein to continue pursuing business success is his sense of loyalty to his more than 400 employees and their family members who depend on Gold Star’s stability. That motivation has resulted in Gold Star being named by the Detroit Free Press as one of the Top Work Places in Michigan for employees from 2009-2010.

Gold Star has grown to 26 offices, with four new ones to open in 2011, and is licensed to originate mortgages in more than 20 states. Since 2005, revenues have increased 712 percent and Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group is currently closing more than a billion dollars in loans annually.

Among the gems in The ABC of Sales is Milstein’s adage that “Lunch is for Losers,” that if you “don’t believe in oranges then sell apples” and that the Great Commandment of Sales is “Always Be Closing.”

“ABC-- Always Be Closing --is one of my favorite phrases,” says Milstein. “It is a motto I live by and is one of the prime reasons I have been successful as a sales
professional. I never turn off my selling mindset; I’m always ready to engage a friend, colleague, or stranger in conversations that will lead to a sale.”

In the book Milstein shares eight secrets for consistently reaching high sales levels and lays out in clearly understandable language what it takes to be a Sales Superstar. The author also reveals what he has done to maintain his place among the Top 10 mortgage professionals in the U.S. for the past 10 years.

Milstein’s expertise makes it possible for Gold Star to offer lower rates for mortgages from major banks than if the customer dealt directly with that bank. While that is a major competitive advantage, Gold Star also excels year after year by putting customers first in all transactions and always being available when clients or potential customers call.

Dan Milstein

A super success in mortgage sales, he has recently published The ABC of Sales as a guide for professionals who want to soar in sales, revive their sales careers, or position their companies among the elite.

Known as a financial wizard with solid experience in planning and managing diversified real estate loan portfolios for companies and individuals, Dan has an uncanny ability to sense shifting market conditions and respond quickly and efficiently for his clients. With a strong foundation in all phases of loan origination, there isn't a problem or loan scenario that Dan hasn't come across. He is well-versed in all areas of consumer lending including fraud prevention, quality control, state and federal regulations, credit-risk policies, accounting, finance and marketing.

Dan is currently the #1 ranked loan officer in the United States out of 550,000 originators in the industry, a title he has held for two consecutive years and counting. He has been ranked in the top 10 nationally and worldwide every year for the last decade.

His extensive research of both domestic and foreign financial markets, as well as a thorough understanding of the fluctuations of business has helped him shepherd his company and clients through the financial crisis.

But what truly motivates him to continue pursuing business success is his sense of loyalty to his more than 400 employees and their family members who depend on Gold Star’s stability. Daniel has always expressed a deep desire to stay true to his staff and their families, business partners, and colleagues.

Dan’s leadership is the main reason Gold Star Mortgage is:

  • One of Inc. Magazine’s 500 fastest growing companies in America for two consecutive years, 2009 & 2010
  • Inc. Magazine’s 14th fastest growing company in the financial services sector, 2009- 2010
  • The third Largest Residential Lender in Michigan and 53rd largest in the United States
  • A Detroit Free Press Top Work Place in Michigan for employees in 2009 and 2010
  • A quickly growing company currently employing over 400 people in 26 offices
  • Slated to open several new offices in 2011 and beyond
  • A successful company, with a 712% growth volume over the past 2 years

Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Dan and his family relocated to the United States in 1991. He received his bachelor’s degree with honors in business management and finance. With his knowledge of the industry firmly in place, he found himself quickly moving up the ranks of the banking industry. He worked his way up from assistant consumer lending manager, to general manager, to underwriter, then Chief Operating Officer, and finally Chief Executive Officer within various financial institutions.

Dan also gives back to his community, serving on the Cleary University Board of Trustees, as well as a board member of several corporations. He is widely viewed as an expert in the industry and has published numerous articles and essays on banking and finance in several publications.
