LVR Podcast #25 - Importance of Workflow and Dealflow

The LVR Podcast™ Episode #25 – The Importance of a Workflow and Dealflow System

WE DISCUSS IN THIS EPISODE:

Back in the day, a broker could do a deal on the back of a fax and voila. These days with more compliance, quality control and deadlines from lenders and clients a broker needs more support and that support can come in the form of smart systems. Broker Engine is a workable tool for any broker. Here’s some more about Broker Engine:

Broker Engine handles the entire life cycle of the client, the leadflow to dealflow to running reviews and client maintenance so that you retain more clients.
All these systems help a broker to manage a successful client relationship over time and ensure that you are retaining more clients.
If I was to sign up tomorrow to Broker Engine, how much time will it take to get it running? With Broker Engine we supply the workflows out of the box and have a customer success team to support our clients so we suggest it takes about three weeks to get it up and running, so not long at all.
For Broker Engine, we see: The broker likes it, team likes it, the client likes it.
It helps to document the processes and systems so that the things that typically gets missed from a workflow are put into a structure, allowing a team to become at least 20% more efficient.
Broker’s who are business builders and building a team to scale, then Broker Engine can help you achieve a more powerful business flow.
The whole workflow and the client engagement can be managed in a powerful way with Broker Engine.

Key Quotes

“Leadflow is what gets you the appointments and what gets you the activity.” – Ruan

“After the loan settles, aftercare can be built into the system via email and sms, so it takes the headache away from brokers having to remember everything.” – Will

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great weekly 50min session with Ruan himself, done online over Zoom with other brokers.

Intimate session of around a dozen people, including Ruan and the host.

If you're a new broker and have under three or four years of experience, and wish to get an insight into Ruan's mind + pick up tips and tricks, it's a very good six month-long training program.

Even if you're a more seasoned broker like myself (nine years in December 2026), it's worth an education session - I have a few pages of notes and thoughts.

Give it a go, brokers.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve really enjoyed being part of Ruan’s Grow Broker Program. As a broker with an over 5 years of experience, it is easy to reach a point where you feel like you’re doing well but not really moving forward.
This program challenged me to rethink almost everything I thought I knew about broking, relationships, branding and what it really takes to build a sustainable career.

Ruan has an incredible ability to make you look at your business and thinking from a completely different perspective while providing genuine support and practical strategies that you can implement immediately and easily. It is not about quick wins or generic coaching. It is about building the right foundations and becoming a better broker and business owner.

The confidence and clarity I gained through the program played a crucial role in my decision to move into a BDM role. It helped me recognise where my strengths truly lie and gave me the self confidence to take that next step.

I would highly recommend Success and Broker to anyone who feels they have reached a plateau or wants to take their career to the next level. It has been one of the best self investments I have made.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Success & Broker course has been fantastic.

As a new broker, you learn a lot about the technical side early on: compliance, lending policy, structuring deals. But what nobody really teaches you is how to build a sustainable business around all that. Ruan's program fills exactly that gap, giving you so many practical, actionable ways to grow: daily habits and consistency, marketing that actually works for a brokerage, operations and systems that scale, and how to genuinely deliver a great client experience rather than just process loans.

What I liked most is that it's not generic coaching. It's built specifically around where you are as a broker, whether that's establishing strong foundations early on or working toward running a proper business with leverage and a team behind you.

The 'Broker Journal' kept me on track throughout the course and is a great reference point when i need to work on my business. It is like a blueprint for success.

All of it is delivered in a refreshingly warm, positive, and genuinely invested way. You can tell they actually care about your outcomes, not just ticking a coaching box. Big thanks to Ruan, and to Ryan too. Highly recommend to any broker serious about building a real business, not just writing loans.

Ruan is super knowledgeable, having spent many years as a broker running multiple firms. He asks the right questions and challenges your thinking.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've worked with Ruan at Success & Broker for the last 12 months~ and it's been great.

Always makes time to discuss what's going on and the advice is invaluable.

If you're a broker thinking of using Ruan's services, it's definitely worth jumping on board.
