Homeloans’ BDM from way out west tells us about turning down finance for a dog hotel
'BDM in the spotlight' is our attempt to celebrate those elusive yet critical industry professionals working behind-the-scenes. Every Wednesday we’ll ask a different BDM the same eight questions, giving readers an insight into the profession.
This week meet Sally Carmichael, Homeloans BDM for Western Australia. Before entering the industry she worked in the UK as PA for the principal of a college.
How often do you see brokers in a week?
I see brokers Monday to Friday, face to face is a must for a BDM. I often bump into brokers on the weekends at my local shopping centre and take the opportunity to have a chat then!
What do brokers want most from you?
I find that brokers want a straight, quick answer and often need me to help them find a solution within our product suit
What is your favourite part of the job?
I enjoy the diversity of the products that we offer and finding solutions within them for brokers. Its always a great buzz to get a deal turned around and over the line.
What distinguishes the best brokers you deal with?
Knowledge, integrity, honesty and attention to detail.
Describe your ideal weekend:
Warm weather, around the pool with my family and friends and skyping my granddaughter.. perfect!
What’s the strangest lending scenario you’ve ever encountered?
I had a scenario for a start-up business, which is acceptable, however the business was a dog hotel, they must have been barking mad!
How do you like your steak done?
Not mooing.. lol Medium rare.
