“Approximately 30 per cent of our home loans are for self-employed borrowers, which highlights the opportunity for our broker partners to cross sell,” Ms Frost said.
“The important part for brokers is to have the confidence to have exploratory conversations with customers beyond their personal borrowing needs.”
Suncorp Bank is developing a series of educational forums and workshops to support its broker partners to have a stronger understanding of how to leverage their existing customer base to attract new business and gain SME exposure.
Suncorp Bank is also the platinum partner of The Adviser’s upcoming New Revenue Streams event in Sydney on 27 October and Melbourne on 29 October.
The intensive one-day boot camp will get brokers business fit and ready to launch new revenue streams in their business, generate referrals and create simple marketing strategies to reach new clients that want more.
