The secret to faster client conversions? ๐—–๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†.

Jared Kelley from Arive Broker Spotlight dropped a massive value bomb on how to achieve this with the quoting tool. He demonstrated the ultimate hack for presenting options to your clients:

Generating a quote that compares ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ.

This isn't a minor featureโ€”it's a game-changer for:

โžก ๐—–๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—˜๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ: No more toggling between multiple screens or PDFs.
โžก ๐——๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ: Giving the borrower a crystal-clear, side-by-side comparison.

Are your borrowers sending partial docs or missing info? ๐Ÿง

They say the best tools are built by people solving their own problems โ€” and this oneโ€™s no exception.

As a Subject Matter Expert at UMortgage and someone whoโ€™s constantly jumping into spontaneous Teams meetings, I got tired of the 6-step dance just to generate a link:

โž€ Leave the app

โž Open Teams

โž‚ Start a meeting

โžƒ Copy the link

โž„ Go back

โž… Paste it

๐˜›๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜บ ๐˜ค๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฌ๐˜ด. ๐˜•๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜จ๐˜ฉ ๐˜ง๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ.

So I built a Chrome extension: ๐˜๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜›๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ด ๐˜”๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜“๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฌ

โœจ Right-click anywhere with a text field

โœจ Instantly generate a Teams link

โœจ Auto-insert it where you clicked


No switching tabs. No copy-paste. Justโ€ฆ done.

๐—•๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€:

โ€ข Works with personal and work Microsoft accounts

โ€ข No data shared โ€” not even usage metrics

โ€ข Open source (yes, devs, PRs welcome!)

โ€ข Popup menu to manage links if insertion isnโ€™t supported (looking at you, other Microsoft web apps ๐Ÿ‘€)

If this sounds like something youโ€™ve needed, give it a try:

๐Ÿ”— chromewebstore.google.com/detail/instant-teams-meeโ€ฆ

And if you're a developer who wants to help make the insertion logic even smarter โ€” Iโ€™d love your contributions!

Heads up! Some users are experiencing issues with ARIVE POS links not loading. The platform team has identified a third-party network filter causing the problem and is actively working toward a full resolution.

In the meantime, here are two steps that may restore access:
