In the competitive landscape of asset and commercial finance, staying ahead requires continuous growth in both personal and professional skills. For brokers in our AFS and SCF network, attending business events whether webinars or in-person expos like the upcoming Meet the Funder can yield significant advantages.
NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES
Business events serve as a rich platform for networking. Connecting with brokers, funders and specialists in our internal team can help you resolve specific challenges faster than any email ever could. Establishing relationships in person can help you form a supportive community that shares best practices and insights crucial for you to deliver the best service to your customers.
ENHANCE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS
Attending webinars and expos provides our brokers with valuable insights into market trends, product innovations and regulatory changes. Engaging with our panels of funders across the AFS and Synergy network allows you to hear directly about the lender’s expectations, underwriting criteria and financing options, increasing your ability to meet the needs of your clients effectively.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Participating in business events fosters personal growth. The act of engaging with a diverse set of individuals and presenting your ideas or questions in a public environment can enhance your communication skills, build your confidence, and improve your ability to articulate your value proposition. These soft skills are crucial for any self-employed broker looking to establish a strong personal brand.
STAYING INSPIRED AND MOTIVATED
The energy and ideas exchanged at business events can reignite your enthusiasm for your work. Engaging with like-minded professionals allows for the sharing of success stories and challenges, providing motivation and potential solutions to common problems. This sense of community can reinvigorate your approach to your brokerage business, encouraging you to overcome obstacles and innovate in your service offerings.
Free online and in-person events are just one of the benefits of joining the AFS and Synergy networks. If you have three or more years’ experience in asset or commercial finance, why not contact us to find out more.
