I introduced Craig Vetter, a seasoned mortgage broker business coach, who has developed a ChatGPT-based business planning tool that can significantly streamline our planning process. We also highlighted key areas to focus on, including revenue generation, efficiency, support, technology, and compliance. I encourage everyone to engage with their database and take advantage of the upcoming renewal opportunities, as over a million Canadian mortgages are set to mature in 2026. Please make sure to utilize the resources shared and start your business planning now!</description></oembed>
