Pepper launches new broker program

The program was developed in close consultation with brokers, independent sales leadership and business development experts SalesDNA.com.au, Pepper’s sales team as well as the MFAA.

The Pepper “Better Business” Program initially spans 12 months and launches with a series of nation-wide half-day interactive workshops led by SalesDNA.com.au, and includes follow-up online coaching modules and videos.  

Pepper’s director of sales Mario Rehayem said the lender was excited to reveal its significant investment in an education program.

“This is the first time that brokers have been offered such a substantial professional development and education program that doesn’t involve any sort of product push by a specialist lender, and I am delighted we are leading the way in supporting our brokers and adding real value to their ongoing businesses,” he said.

The “Better Business” program will kick off via a series of interactive workshops, being held in six locations around Australia, which will equate to 2.5 CPD hours per event. It is anticipated that more than 600 brokers will participate in the sessions, with many brokers having already registered to attend the sessions.

Each workshop will be facilitated by a SalesDNA.com.au business coach, and is designed to help brokers focus on key aspects of the relationship management process.

Complementing the workshops is an online education platform, which will facilitate rapid learning across a range of professional competencies.

Included with the online modules will be a video series, featuring advice from small business coaches and mortgage experts, who will help brokers to take advantage of the rapidly emerging opportunities in the specialist lending sector.

The online modules will be available via secure portal and will require registration to participate.
