Sales Rally 2022 Is in the Books! 

Last week more than 750 people gathered in Dallas for Supreme Lending’s Sales Rally 2022. Back after a forced three-year hiatus, this two-day event provided attendees with opportunities to learn proven sales strategies and best practices, grow their networks, and be motivated by influential speakers. Several videos were created to share stories of team members reflecting the Sales Rally theme, Lead to Win. Please take a few minutes to watch this inspirational video of Branch Manager John Krause, who is a true example of the power of a positive attitude.

Want an official Sales Rally t-shirt? The first 10 people who email SupremeNOW@SupremeLending.com with the name of another person featured in John’s video will win a shirt!

(It will be available on Ignite soon.)

Here’s the approved social media post copy:

Exciting news! The conforming loan limit (also known as the Conventional loan limit) on single properties has increased to $715,000, which Supreme Lending is making effective NOW. That’s nearly a $70,000 hike. This will help more homebuyers afford higher-priced mortgages with lower down payments instead of opting for a Jumbo loan. Contact us to learn more and see if this new loan limit can help you open the door to homeownership.

Password Expirations Extended to 120 Days

In our continuing effort to improve information security and align with industry best practices and regulatory directives, we are updating our Password Management Policy effective Tuesday, September 20, 2022, as outlined below:

*No action or password change is currently required. The policy change process will be applied upon your next password expiration/renewal.

  • The length of passwords must be a minimum of 10 characters, upon employees’ regularly scheduled expiration period.
  • Password expirations and renewals will be expanded to every 120 days (up from the current 90-day expiration period).
  • When prompted to change a password, there is an interactive tutorial to help select a password that complies with the updated policy and requirements (pictured below).
  • When selecting a new password, employees will be alerted if the new password has been breached or has appeared on hacker sites. Use of these passwords will be prohibited.

If you have any questions regarding this process or need assistance, please contact the Supreme Lending IT Service Desk at 972.447.5690 or simply create an IT Service Desk ticket via the Supreme Insight Self-Service Portal. Any other questions should be directed to IT-Security@SupremeLending.com.
