Just Mortgages launches bespoke training for large principal firms

27 June 2023

National brokerage Just Mortgages has expanded the level of support available to its large principal brokers with the launch of a new bespoke training programme.

The new programme aims to help fill any knowledge or training gaps identified by business principals. It’s designed to support those larger principals with four, five or more brokers working within their businesses.

Rather than an ‘off the shelf’ solution for all principals, the training team at Just Mortgages offer a bespoke programme, tailored to the needs of each firm and its advisers. This may include sales training and techniques, further product knowledge or the likes of lead generation and social media training. It can also include further leadership training, marketing and compliance support for principals themselves.

Rodney Sloan, head of learning and development at Just Mortgages said: “As our principal brokers look to develop both their business and the team around them, we must continue to provide all the necessary training and support they need. This new programme is an important part of that ongoing commitment and will enable us to work with principals to accurately pinpoint any areas for improvement.

“We identified that a ‘one size fits all’ approach doesn’t work. After all, business principals have a really good feel for their own businesses. By sitting down with them, we can better understand their needs, where to improve and where the team can be developed. We can then draw up a bespoke training plan to meet these objectives and deliver this across their business.”

The new programme expands the training package available to existing principals. In addition to the induction programme for all new business principals, there’s also the leadership programme, which is designed to help brokers build on this and develop the necessary skills to maximise the potential of their team.

Graduates from Just Mortgages’ self-employed academies are matched with suitable principal brokers to support their growth plans, all while gaining valuable mentoring and development opportunities in the real world.

Brokers of all sizes across both employed and self-employed divisions also have access to a wealth of training sessions and hundreds of online modules, curated by Just Mortgages’ learning and development team.

Whether as a business principal or a self-employed mortgage and protection adviser, Just Mortgages offers the freedom to manage their own business, all while benefiting from ongoing training, mentoring and compliance support. The self-employed division alone is fast approaching 500 advisers, with more than 650 in total across Just Mortgages’ nationwide network.
