Paul Liccione, general manager of sales and distribution at eChoice, said the appointment of Mr Dalamagus is another example of eChoice’s commitment to the success of its broker network.
“Not all brokers want to remain at arm’s length and have nothing to do with their aggregator. We believe our success and the success of our brokers [are] joined at the hip,” he said.
“Anything we can do to help a broker settle more loans has got to be good for all, and that’s exactly what Nick will do.”
The newly created role of sales development manager is designed to provide another level of support for both experienced brokers and graduates of eChoice’s broker academy.
“As we strive towards increasing professionalism of the mortgage broker occupation, training and business development support needs to survive beyond initial onboarding and evolve in tandem with each broker’s business,” Mr Liccione said.
The aggregator recently partnered with Resicom and Mildura Finance to help meet clients’ needs and diversify brokers’ income, but Mr Liccione said that simply having access to those partners is not enough.
“An important aspect of Nick’s responsibilities is to embed the provision of such value-adds into the process our brokers use on a daily basis,” he said.
