James Holman is an Executive Assistant for the owner of Lending Maven Mortgage, a Business Consultant and CEO of Holman Consulting. His role of Executive Assistant with Lending Maven Mortgage is primarily marketing to realtors and continuously helping service current and prospective clients. He is very adept at cultivating these relationships as well as creating new partnerships with new realtors. This requires a determined skillset to handle objections and the ability to convey value and secure buy-in through cold calling.
Creating a friendly relationship over the phone in a matter of minutes is one of James' specialties. James understands the power of "No" and the law of large numbers that's often required. This never give up attitude has always been an asset for any business looking to grow and identify new business opportunities.
As a business owner, he understands that plans and priorities can quickly change. New projects can pop up at any time and taking on this extra work is part of a growing business. James easily adapts and makes quick decisions through a systematic approach to decision making. This makes him a great asset for any Executive or business in which deliverables, demands, and even regulations are ever changing. His ability to vet and evaluate new products, communication tools, and other technology help businesses optimize performance and cut costs. He diligently monitors trends, news, and policy changes to inform businesses of potential impacts and opportunities. He leverages his ability to analyze and integrate such data into his recommended action plans for client success.
James is very passionate about Business Cycles, Macroeconomics, and how population dynamics are all intertwined. James has thrived in past roles as a Financial Advisor, raising venture capital, and in his current role of consulting for individuals and businesses.
In his free time, you can find him enjoying himself in a remote Wilderness. There is no place too remote for him, his wife and dog. Roughing it in the backcountry provides him a reality check and helps him focus on what really matters. While in the outdoors he enjoys fishing, hiking, and searching for wild edibles that help feed his family. He enjoys the serenity, peace and quiet, because he believes it balances the high technology world he lives in.
