## Resource

As the broking industry continues its push towards bigger teams, greater scale, and increased automation, can smaller brokerages still compete? In this week's Business Accelerator, Broker Daily journalist Julian Barnes and broker coach Jason Back explore the advantages small brokerages can bring to the market, from agility and faster decision making to stronger client relationships and niche expertise. The duo also unpack the challenges of running a lean operation – including hiring, leadership, and capacity constraints – and discuss how technology and AI are helping smaller businesses punch above their weight without sacrificing service. From building high-performing teams to avoiding the growth traps that catch many business owners, this episode is packed with practical insights for brokers looking to compete with the industry's biggest players.
