The benchmark awards program for excellence in broking is back

The Better Business Awards provides an excellent platform for talented brokers and offices across Australia to gain recognition and celebrate the best in the industry in their local markets.

For the past decade, the awards have celebrated the best of the best in brokers and brokerages in each state and territory, and are coveted among Australia’s brokers, networks, innovators, leaders and aggregators.

The key to successful broking is building up a local presence and servicing clients in your immediate catchment area with dedication and skill. To be an outstanding broker, it’s just not about writing volume, it’s about customer service and dedication to the client’s best interests.

The awards celebrate the best of the best in Australia’s broking industry and will recognise the outstanding contribution of professionals and businesses working within the broking industry across 20+ categories.

The awards are open to all businesses operating in Australia supporting the broking industry, and will be a desirable accolade for both individuals and businesses seeking to forge their role in broking.

For the past 13 years, the national awards program has recognised and acknowledged the leading brokers, brokerages and aggregation groups paving the way in the Australian mortgage industry.

This is the benchmark for excellence around Australia and, year after year, recognises those influencing the profession, propelling the industry forward.

This year, we will once again celebrate the best of the best over a range of categories, from individual brokers to support staff, mentors, aggregators and mortgage industry leaders.

The 2023 bootcamp offered three game-changing industry tools that will transform the way brokers do business and facilitate seamless client experiences. Attendees learned how to master client discovery, craft compelling credit proposals, and optimise their profits with the breakeven tool.

But that’s not all! The Adviser SME Bootcamp equipped them with the skills and knowledge to become the go-to broker for all their client’s needs and develop a fully diversified brokerage that can manage the SME loan process from lead to settlement.

Attendees learned how to tap into new revenue streams through expanding their capabilities and discovered key tools and strategies to engage and impress their clients, generate more revenue streams, and optimise their brokerage’s value. Importantly, they learned how to lock their clients into a lifetime of meeting their needs and mitigate the threat of competition as a result.

Through hands-on, interactive masterclasses and roundtables, attendees gain invaluable knowledge and skills that will help them become the finance professionals of choice in the SME space. They’ll now be able to revolutionise SME financing to maximise revenue and provide powerful financial solutions to thier clients.

Join us at the Women in Finance Summit 2023 as we reshape the landscape of the Australian financial services industry by shattering the glass ceiling and supporting women in building thriving financial services businesses.

While there has been a significant decline in the gender pay gap since 2015, dropping from 37.5 per cent to 28.6 per cent, there is still work to be done. The financial services industry still has one of the highest pay gaps in Australia, second only to the construction industry.

Our inaugural Women in Finance Summit 2023 is here to spark discussion on the key issues facing women in the financial services sector and consider solutions to make it a more equitable industry.

Together, we aim to set a new precedent for the profession by learning from the experiences of Australian women who are leading the way and understanding how our collective influence can bring about lasting change in both societal and professional norms.

The Adviser’s award-winning Better Business Summit returned for its 11th consecutive year, bigger and better than ever before! The 2024 summit inspired and motivated attendees with session led by a line-up of extraordinary speakers featuring some of the most influential figures in the business world.
