Your BDMs shouldn't be a free helpdesk for brokers.
When your product is complex, every broker needs it explained. Then explained again, so they can explain it to the customer. We rebuild your product, your policy and the unwritten rules your credit team works by as broker training and tools. Brokers arrive ready. Your BDMs work on deals.
What is broker hand-holding costing you? Change the numbers.
We have BDMs, each spending hours a week explaining product and policy to brokers. Their time is worth about an hour.
$129,600
a year of senior time on work a system could carry.
- 864 hours a year
- about 23 full-time weeks
- 48 working weeks
A SCALE Blueprint is $6,000 + GST. With your numbers, that's about 11 working days of what the bottleneck already costs you.

Growth lands on the same few desks.
- Your BDMs answer the same questions every week."Can we go higher on this security?" "How does serviceability work for a trust?" Good questions. Asked a hundred times.
- Brokers ring to have the thinking done for them.If the policy takes effort to find, they pick up the phone. Your BDM becomes the search function.
- Deals arrive half-packaged.Missing documents, the wrong structure, numbers that don't work. Your credit team spends days going back and forth.
- More brokers means more BDMs.You'd like to grow the network, but your BDMs are at capacity, and good ones take months to get up to speed.
- The real policy lives in two people's heads.The exceptions, the red flags, the "we'd do it if…". If one of them leaves, deals slow down.
- Then someone explains it to the customer.After approval, your team walks each borrower through what the product means for them. Again.
It's all written down.
Nobody reads it with a borrower on the phone.
- The criteria spreadsheet, out of date the next time policy moves.
- The credit policy PDF on the broker portal, read cover to cover by nobody.
- The product webinar, recorded once and watched by a handful of brokers.
None of it is wasted. It's what we start from, and you don't need to tidy any of it first.

What we build for lenders
Your policy, turned into things brokers can use at 9pm.
What brokers do on their own
- Broker accreditationYour product and policy, taught through real scenarios, with a check that brokers understand it before they're accredited.
- Scenario practiceBrokers test realistic borrower situations against your criteria and see what you'd say, before they pick up the phone.
- Calculators and checklistsThe numbers and the document list for each loan type, worked out with your rules. Your credit team signs off every rule before launch.
- Customer educationA separate path that walks borrowers through what the product means for them, without your team on the call.
What your BDMs keep
- Deals that already fitConversations about structure and pricing, not product orientation.
- The exceptionsThe judgement calls that genuinely need an experienced person.
- The relationshipsTime with the brokers who write the most business.
Behind it, accreditation, access and onboarding run on their own.

"The biggest impact has been the man hours reduced. Hours of our BDM explaining to one broker, then at least an hour explaining to the customer, all of it reduced to minutes." Peter Comino, COO, HAS Loans
Questions
What lenders usually ask.
Who's responsible for the rules in the calculators?
You are. We build your criteria in, and your credit or compliance team checks and signs off every rule before launch. When your policy changes, you tell us and we update it.
Our policy changes all the time. Won't it go out of date?
Not if your team keeps it current, and we train them to. Guides come as editable Word or PowerPoint files, so your team can update those themselves. Anyone who knows HTML can edit the eLearning; if nobody on your team does, we make updates as a quoted change.
Can it work for our customers as well as our brokers?
Yes. HAS Loans has one academy with two courses: one for brokers, and one that walks customers, after approval, through what the product means for them, without the team on the call.
How much of our credit team's time will this take?
Most of it is in Strategise and Capture. We go through your documents first, so the sessions with your credit lead are focused: they react to their own policy rather than starting from a blank page. After that it's review and sign-off at set points.
What does it cost?
Every project starts with the SCALE Blueprint: $6,000 + GST for one service. It ends with a fixed quote for the build, so you know the full price before you commit.
