Not all great mortgage brokers are natural leaders, but the good news? Leadership can be learned.

This was the topic of discussion in this latest episode of Business Accelerator with Jason Back and Alex Whitlock.

Here, the pair relay the key skills needed to be an effective leader. Great leadership isn’t just about being in charge – it’s about creating an environment where your team thrives, clients trust you, and your business scales.

Tech is imperative for the modern business. But where do you begin? This was the topic of discussion in this latest episode of Finance Specialist.

Figuring out what problem you’re trying to solve is an important first step. Having a game plan will help make the transition as effective and stress-free as possible.

It can help to lean on those in the industry who may be more accustomed to using the latest tech. Seeking support and a second opinion is never a bad idea.

In this week’s episode of Broker Daily Uncut, host Jack Campbell and co-host Phillip Tarrant discuss the record-breaking figures to come from the MFAA, penning mortgage broker market share at 76.8 per cent.

With recent headlines questioning the value of brokers, this timely data reinforces just how crucial the third-party channel is.

Borrowers continue to favour brokers due to the unrivalled expertise they provide. With market share steadily increasing each quarter, it may not be long before it reaches a milestone of 80 per cent.

Historically, brokers scaled by hiring more staff, but AI and automation now allow smaller teams to handle higher volumes efficiently.

This was the topic of discussion in the latest episode of Business Accelerator. Here, hosts Alex Whitlock and Jason Back unpack how to effectively leverage AI and tech to scale and grow a brokerage.

However, tech efficiency must be balanced with human connection. Relationships should remain the ultimate consideration.

In this latest episode of Broker Daily’s Finance Specialist, host Jack Campbell and co-host Trent Carter are joined by Interim Finance BDM Isaiah Tait.

The team unpacks leftover broker questions from the recent Commercial Finance Masterclass.

From tips on how to get accredited with a lender to best practice for entering the commercial finance side of broking, Tait and Carter give some expert analysis and advice.

Following the Reserve Bank’s long-awaited and highly anticipated cash rate drop, lenders have begun implementing interest rate cuts.

Despite this, the effects of this cut aren’t likely to be felt for some time, as discussed by Jack Campbell and Alex Whitlock in the latest episode of Broker Daily Uncut.

The pair delve into the effects of an interest rate cut on the property market. With recent reports of one in three homes worth upwards of $1 million, it’s going to take more than one or two cash rate drops to provide tangible relief for borrowers.

The importance of customer service and the power it has to capture and retain clients was the topic of discussion in this week’s episode of Business Accelerator.

Clients today expect instant engagement. Responding within five minutes of an inquiry significantly boosts conversion.

Further to that, communication must be upheld. The biggest client grievance isn’t about rates or fees – it’s lack of communication.

In a digital age where automation risks making service feel impersonal, brokers who prioritise human connection will thrive.

End of financial year (EOFY) is fast approaching. For brokers, this means clients may be looking to the year ahead, planning budgets.

In this latest episode of Finance Specialist, co-host Trent Carter outlined how important it is to be prepared for this busy period.
