Key quotes:
“Marketing and social media is something probably outside of the comfort zone of most of the people in this industry, but obviously there’s a lot of talk around the fact that we need to be doing this to be successful.” – Marissa
“Us brokers are found more frequently on these platforms, then the chances are brokers tomorrow become the client’s first choice.” – Ruan
“Remember, social media is a collective term for platforms that allow you to engage with an audience. That’s all. Some of them have no application for you whatsoever.” – Darrell
“You’ve got to pick your tribe, maybe this one first, invest in it, go hard in it, build it. And then, if you want to do another, then go to the next, rather than trying to do them all at once.” – Ruan
“You’ve given us so much great insight into some things that we can ALL do.” – Marissa
“For local mortgage brokers, brand awareness comes through your own work and having people understand the value that you deliver.” – Darrell
