| Social Media - Tomorrow's Mobile Phone for Broker's | Think back 20 years to a time when mobile phones were a luxury. Now, ask yourself if you could effectively run your business today without a mobile phone?
If you're like most of us, at the very least you'd say it would be EXTREMELY difficult if not nearly impossible.
Research we recently conducted indicated that only around 30% of brokers are currently using social media, and most of these are only on Facebook connecting with friends and family.
What mobile phones were 20 years ago, social media is today but the main difference is the speed with which this new medium is being adopted. For example, Facebook now has over 500 million users - if it were a country it would be the 3rd most populated in the world behind only China and India.
Implementing aspects of social media into your broking business isn't difficult, won't take you a lot of time or technical knowledge...but it WILL generate business through new clients, more referrals and retention of clients.
So how do you get started?

Brokers participating in our CPD Webinar program continue to be impressed with the program, and have been good enough to share some of their thoughts with us..
"I attended my first CPD Program session last week and
was blown away by the level of information provided and the ease in which the
information was communicated to the attendees. The interactive nature of the
webinars creates a 'classroom' like situation where there are different
opinions and questions being raised from different areas, which adds to the
knowledge gained by attending the webinar. I believe this program is an
invaluable tool for my business and would recommend everyone take a look at one
session to understand the real benefits."
Donna Taylor - Taylor'd Bookkeeping
"I have found the program to be extremely beneficial to me
as a regional broker. I do not have to travel, the training can be undertaken
in my office without interruptions and at times that are suitable to me. Travel
is the big issue for me. Air travel is available from Central Qld to Brisbane
however the timing of flights to align with training sessions necessitates a
stop over in Brisbane meaning a further expense and time out of the office."
"I can't say much more other than the training provided is
very important to me and the delivery method is excellent."
Jeffrey Geering, Principal, Choice Home Loans
" Intellitrain webinars are a great way to proactively
learn more about being a broker and the associated tasks we are challenged by
on a daily basis. The interactive nature of the course and the fact that
it is monthly also keeps you accountable and ensures you make the effort.
The webinars gave me lots of food for thought and provided an environment of
learning which was non-aggressive, making me feel more inclined to ask the
questions i probably wouldn't in other situations."
