Key points:

  • Strategies for attracting leads and clients, and the crucial role of referral partnerships
  • How flexibility and innovative client engagement strategies contribute to success
  • Overcoming hurdles in attracting referral partners and clients through unique strategies
  • Michael's biggest learnings and some things he wish he knew before he started
  • Insights into Michael and Pinnacle Brokers' plans for growth

Key quotes:

"We make a commitment [to our referral partners] that we will either call them back or call their clients within 2 hours." - Michael

"Lead flow is only the starting point. How we deliver, how we engage, is key and it really makes everything real." - Ruan

"I think once you implement the boundaries for them [clients], they actually start respecting your time more as well." - Marissa

"The main difference [in broking] is to have that flexibility, that you can build a team that works together to actually get the best outcome for clients." - Michael

"And it is all education, we need to educate our clients as much as we educate the referral sources, as much as you educate your staff." - Marissa

"One of the things just these last 12 months for you has been communication is key, making sure nothing is left to chance." - Ruan
