Ruan and Marissa explore how mortgage broker client presence mindset shapes the quality of every client interaction — and why it's one of the most underrated skills in the industry.
Developing a strong mortgage broker client presence mindset is rarer than it should be — and more valuable than most brokers realise. In this episode of The LVR Podcast, Ruan Burger and Marissa Schulze explore why showing up fully — for clients, for your team, and for yourself — is one of the most powerful things you can do for your business.
