Aggregator or business partner?

Our Brokers on Aggregators survey is closing today, and we’re asking how much of your success is down to your aggregator

Our Brokers on Aggregators survey is closing today, and we’re asking how much of your success is down to your aggregator

2016’s Brokers on Aggregators survey closes today (Friday), and to conclude we’re focusing on the survey’s final (and prize-winning) question: 

How much has your aggregator contributed to your business’ success?

The answer may not be so obvious. Many aggregators have been there alongside expanding brokerages, seeing brokers go from their Cert IV to MPA’s Top 100. Actually quantifying how much an aggregator has added along the way is much more tricky: can an anecdote from a PD day really change the direction of a business plan? Can a new IT system really draw out more deals from a set database of clients? 

This is why we’re asking you, the broker, what role your aggregator has played. Answers are anonymous of course; we’re interested in which aggregators are getting the most positive feedback and why. It may that one-to-one sessions with a veteran BDM is still the way forward, or that technology can enable brokers to access assistance much more easily. It may be that small aggregators can pay more attention to individual members, or bigger aggregators can provide them bigger networks.

At present, we just don’t know. That’s why we’re asking you to take 5 minutes to fill out our survey here and now to get the best aggregators the recognition they deserve, and show the others how they could improve. Plus you could win one of two luxury gift hampers.
