In this latest episode of Business Accelerator, host Alex Whitlock and co-host Broker Essentials’ Jason Back give some guidance on how to turn knowledge into action to drive development.

Breaking down a brokerage is an important foundational step. There are a variety of directions a business can go and what is ‘right’ will depend entirely on the individual’s aspirations.

However, Back said there are some core fundamentals that can help drive success. Prioritising one action at a time and managing the small wins is key to driving sustainable growth.

The financial landscape in 2025 has been defined by one word: uncertainty. From shifting global trade policies to domestic rate cuts and a federal election, borrowers and brokers alike are navigating a complex and ever-changing market.

This latest episode of Finance Specialist introduces an upcoming Commercial Finance Masterclass focused on SME lending, hosted by Accendo Financial’s Trent Carter.

This episode emphasises that SME broking is about expertise, not just transactions. The masterclass aims to equip brokers with the confidence and skills to thrive in this space.

The masterclass will provide in-depth training for brokers looking to specialise in SME finance, covering practical skills, financial analysis, and business-building strategies.

The event will be hosted in a live session on 21 May, with interactive elements, Q&A, and workbook exercises.

The upcoming Broker Innovation Summit and Awards, set to take place on Wednesday, 25 June in Sydney, have been designed to help brokers navigate technological change and to recognise innovation across the broking ecosystem.

Joined by Michael Magee, the Broker Daily Uncut team unpack the exciting happenings set for the summit. The agenda is tailored to both experienced and emerging brokers looking to make sense of today’s fast-changing tech landscape.

Alongside the summit, the Broker Innovation Awards will celebrate industry leaders embracing innovation in areas such as customer service, operational efficiency, and business growth.

Gone are the days when clients were satisfied with an annual check-in or a Christmas card. Today’s borrowers expect real-time updates, constant digital engagement, and personalised interactions.

This episode of Business Accelerator with Alex Whitlock and Jason Back explored the constant flux of consumer needs and how important it is for brokers to be aware of a shifting market.

Brokers must move beyond transactional relationships and focus on ongoing engagement, whether through monthly market updates, milestone celebrations, or interactive tools.

The one-size-fits-all approach no longer works. Successful brokers now segment their audience, develop deep expertise in specific areas, and create hyper-personalised content.

Brokers and aggregators who take advantage of data are better equipped to engage new clients, retain their services, and predict property changes. Brokers who can win trust by educating on the insights that matter stand to provide a more comprehensive service for borrowers.

This was the topic of discussion in this latest episode of Broker Daily Spotlight. Here, PropTrack’s head of product mortgage solutions, Cam Taylor, described how it is helping aggregator groups leverage unique data to equip their brokers with digitally native tools that then predict, engage, nurture, and close more deals.

Taylor drove home the importance of leveraging data to better service clients as their needs and decision- making process evolve. Brokers who understand market trends as well as movement within their own portfolio are better placed to elevate their role and grow their back book.

PropTrack is making some exciting moves in this space through the use of predictive modelling and listings alerts. This allows for a tailored and unique customer experience that provides insight before it even occurs, and helps your brokers be proactive about retaining their clients and growing their portfolio.

At its core, compliance isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s about protecting your business, your clients, and your reputation.

This was the topic of discussion in this episode of Finance Specialist. Host Jack Campbell and co-host Trent Carter delved into the world of risk management.

Risk and compliance are ever-changing, especially in the modern market where rises in technology and shifting regulation are keeping brokers on their toes.

Remaining ahead of the curve can be a competitive advantage and save time and headaches when things inevitably go wrong.

Labor has come away with the win after a landslide victory over the Coalition in the weekend’s federal election.

Now, the Albanese government will need to make good on the promises made in the election build-up.

This was discussed by the team in the latest episode of Broker Daily Uncut. Here, the hosts outlined the policies impacting housing.

Also touched on were the recent conversations around switching aggregators. The process is filled with challenges and can result in stunting the growth of brokers.
