How Much To Pay Staff (including You!)

How much should a mortgage broking business owner pay their staff? And how much should brokers pay themselves? Unfortunately, many brokers turn to generic answers (usually a pay range) when faced with these questions. But these generic numbers don’t take a business’s specific context into account.

In this episode of Mortgage Broker Acceleration, James Veigli and Ash Playsted discuss the answers to these questions. Instead of providing cookie-cutter solutions, they encourage brokers to think contextually. Tune in to learn how to rethink your broking business’s compensation philosophy and structure.
