See LO Radar on your CSVIf outbound prospecting and high-touch multichannel sequences are your primary workflow, Bonzo is purpose-built for that motion.

Where LO Radar goes further.
Prospecting cadences vs past-client intelligence
Bonzo's center of gravity is outbound prospecting — sequences, drops, video DMs. LO Radar's center of gravity is the LO's existing book of past clients — the database you've already paid for. We tell you which of those past borrowers to reach out to today, and why.
Pipeline NPV — the book as an asset
Bonzo reports activity and conversation engagement. LO Radar reports the present value of your career book as a single daily-moving number — the metric you'd use if pitching a recruiter or selling the book.
Rate math, ARM reset calendar, anniversary triggers
Bonzo sequences fire on time or on action. LO Radar's triggers fire on financial reality — current rate vs each borrower's note rate, ARM proximity, anniversary year, credit movement, equity windows. Every alert ships with the math.
Voice Training
Bonzo templates are written by Bonzo. LO Radar learns the LO's own writing voice from their sent messages and renders each draft in their tone — three flavors deep, with compliance flags.
