Most places are just a short drive away, while “everyone knows everyone, so generating referral business isn’t difficult”, she said.
“People don’t mind coming to see us at our office because it only takes them 10 minutes to drive here, with free parking outside,” she told The Adviser.
“Canberra is central – clients and referral partners in Sydney and Melbourne are only just down the road.”

“We also have great access to our BDM network here, and this enables us to build good relationships that can only help us provide the very best service to our clients.”
