Brought to you by. CURRENT BROKER ENVIRONMENT. The Global Financial Crisis has resulted in a rationalisation of the Broker industry with the following consequences: Increase in channel conflict as the banks seek to cut independent brokers out
E N D
CURRENT BROKER ENVIRONMENT • The Global Financial Crisis has resulted in a rationalisation of the Broker industry with the following consequences: • Increase in channel conflict as the banks seek to cut independent brokers out • Loss of revenue as upfront and trailing commissions have been reduced • Banks have imposed tougher sales volume & cross-sell targets, penalties for application re-work and claw-back provisions • Greater use of the internet by customers as a research/loan application tool and the increasing influence/role of social media • Increased regulation • Entry of Planners into the Broking space
BROKER CHALLENGES • We understand this environment and the challenge for brokers is how to prosper and grow in the new world. The solutions include: • Addressing channel conflict • Increasing or diversifying revenue streams • Differentiating yourself • Adopting new products, services and technologies • Seeking out price advantage opportunities • Expanding customer base/demographic • Developing customer retention strategies • Proving to the customer that there is a trusted adviser role • Success will depend on the mix of the above strategies being adopted. * IFBF is a resource to assist Independent Brokers
CUSTOMER CHALLENGES Customers want to achieve a secure financial future but they have challenges including:
CUSTOMER RESPONSE • In response, customers may: • delay investing while paying off the mortgage • re-draw against the equity in the house, if the bank allows • implement savings/investment plan that requires discipline and is difficult to maintain with life’s unexpected expenses • adopt salary sacrifice, if disposable income allows • borrow, if disposable income and lifestyle allows
