InterFirstlink Community Bank Partners Use Lead Locator Plus(TM) to Develop Custom Lead Databases and Marketing Materials

    ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The Financial Institutions Group
of InterFirst Wholesale Mortgage Lending, a division of ABN AMRO Mortgage
Group, Inc., is now offering its InterFirstlink business partners Lead Locator
Plus(TM), a Web-based mortgage lead identification and marketing tool created
by LSI Credit Services.  Using "Lead Locator Plus," InterFirstlink's community
bank partners can develop a comprehensive lead database and then send
personalized marketing materials directly from the Web to those sales
prospects.
    "Lead Locator Plus ensures the success of a community bank's mortgage
program by facilitating outreach to a targeted list of potential customers,"
said Michael Griffith, ABN AMRO Mortgage Group senior vice president and
InterFirstlink group manager.  "Lead Locator Plus is a time and money saving
tool that provides the valuable sales leads and marketing materials that so
many community banks do not have the resources to develop in-house.
    "Using the marketing materials available through Lead Locator Plus further
enables community banks to let potential customers know that they can benefit
from AAMG's unique OneFee(SM), which guarantees the loan's interest rate and
closing costs at the time the loan's interest rate is locked," Griffith added.
"Lead Locator Plus is just the latest example of InterFirstlink leveling the
playing field for community banks, enabling them to effectively compete with
large lenders and local mortgage brokers."
    Lead Locator Plus enables community banks that use InterFirstlink to
develop targeted lists of potential refinance or purchase mortgage customers
based on a variety of data including credit score, zip code and income.  This
lead generation system is powered by LSI Credit Services, a division of the
nation's most comprehensive source of real estate-related information
services, Fidelity National Financial.
    "Interfirst's Financial Institutions Group is dedicated to providing
community bankers with the resources and programs they need to succeed, and
LSI is pleased to support this effort by providing quality lead generation and
marketing tools," said LSI Credit Services president Rob Boitano.
    Lead Locator Plus also provides InterFirstlink clients with personalized
marketing materials that can be sent from the Web directly to each individual
on the community bank's custom lead database.  The marketing materials include
community bank-branded letters and postcards that highlight services and
products including OneFee(SM).
