What are YOU bringing to the table? πŸ‘‡β 
⁠
I speak to so many business owners who want to hire experienced people... with a great network... their own clients... and enough business to hit the ground running.⁠
⁠
Well, don't we all? πŸ˜‚β 
⁠
But if someone can bring all of that, you've got to ask yourself why they'd want to work for YOU.⁠
⁠
I've seen some fantastic businesses in financial services attract brilliant people, and it's usually because they've put a lot of effort into creating somewhere people actually WANT to work. πŸ€“β 
⁠
And I've seen others struggle to understand why a candidate who seemed keen is suddenly uninterested. 😒⁠
⁠
You can tell someone you've got a great culture and you're a brilliant company to work for until you're blue in the face.⁠
⁠
But what are you actually doing to prove it?⁠
⁠
An older clip from my conversation with Michael Allison, but still a question worth asking.⁠

Would you run your business differently if you knew you were going to sell it one day? πŸ€”β 
⁠
I've spent years building my business, but looking back, I probably made life harder for myself by building so much of it around ME. πŸ˜‚β 
⁠
It's something I've had to think about as we've grown, because there's a big difference between building a business that makes you a good living... ⁠
⁠..and building something that runs without you.⁠
⁠
And I don't think you necessarily need to WANT to sell your business to think about that.⁠
⁠
Having the right people around you, giving them responsibility and making sure everything doesn't rely on you would make any business better anyway.⁠
⁠

If you're in the first 1-5 years of your career...πŸ‘‡οΈβ 
⁠..PLEASE think carefully about who you decide to work for.⁠
⁠
I know salary is important, and it's easy to get distracted by a better job title or a few extra perks... but I'd be far more interested in who I'm going to be sitting next to and working under.⁠
⁠
Because you're going to get things wrong... πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…β 
⁠..and you need to be around people you can ask questions, learn from and who WANT to see you get better.⁠
⁠
The right people will give you the confidence to have a go. The wrong ones will have you second-guessing everything you do.⁠
⁠
And that makes a HUGE difference to how quickly you progress.⁠
⁠
An older clip from my conversation with Rebecca Lewis, Director at Affinity Group, but a good one to revisit.⁠

COMPETITION πŸ‘‡β 
⁠
There's always going to be someone who'll do your job cheaper than you. πŸ˜‚ And there's absolutely NOTHING you can do about it.⁠
⁠
After years in the industry, I'm obviously aware of who's out there... but I'm far more interested in what we're doing than what everyone else is up to...⁠
⁠..because I know, as long as we're working hard, nobody can catch us.⁠
⁠
And if a competitor does come along with a good idea... why wouldn't I learn from it?⁠
⁠
Peter Beaumont, Founding Director at Stamford Finance, asked Andrew Robinson, Partner at FRP Advisory, and me about competition on the Stamford Finance Podcast earlier this week.⁠
⁠
Thanks again for having me on. ⁠

What really happens when you start a business? πŸ˜…β 
⁠
I was invited onto the latest Stamford Finance Podcast with Peter Beaumont, Founding Director at Stamford Finance, and Andrew Robinson, Partner at FRP Advisory... ⁠
⁠..the episode is OUT TODAY. πŸŽ™οΈβ 
⁠
We spoke about what it takes to build and grow a business, what happens when markets get tougher, the opportunities that can come out of difficult periods... and plenty from our own experiences of getting things right AND wrong along the way. ⁠
⁠
Andrew has built and grown Arc & Co, Pete is building Stamford Finance and I've obviously come at it from the recruitment side with NRG Recruitment Group... so there were three pretty different perspectives around the table.⁠
⁠
Thanks to Pete and the Stamford Finance team for having me on, and great to sit down with Andrew too. πŸ™ŒπŸ½β 
⁠
Full episode is out now on the Stamford Finance Youtube channel. ⁠

Will AI replace recruiters? πŸ‘‡

Probably... once it's taken over the world and we're all its supplicants.

But until then, we're using it in the same way as everyone else... as a tool that makes us quicker and better at what we do.

Because recruitment is a PEOPLE business. πŸ’β€β™‚οΈ πŸ’β€β™‚οΈ πŸ’β€β™‚οΈ

And now that AI can write your CV, your COVER LETTER and the job spec you're applying for, what's written tells us less than ever about the person applying.

That can only felt by talking to them... will they fit the business? Will they make the team better? Are they as good as their AI-written CV says they are? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Some business owners have the time to work all of that out themselves, but others don't... and never will.

So will AI replace recruiters... what do you think?

For now, it's just helping us spend less time writing notes, and more time actally listening to people.

Thanks again to Rosalia Lazzara for having me on.

STOP what you're doing and look around at the people you work with. πŸ‘€ ⁠
⁠
Are they making you better? πŸ€” ⁠
⁠
Whether you're early in your career, running the business... or working from home on your own most of the week... ⁠
⁠..who you spend your working life around MATTERS. ⁠
⁠
You should learn from them, be pushed by them and feel like the effort you put in is appreciated. πŸ’ͺ πŸ’ͺ πŸ’ͺ ⁠
⁠
If you're a leader, the environment YOU create needs to make that happen for everyone else too. ⁠
⁠
Because if the people around you have an impact on the person you become... it's probably worth thinking about them. ⁠
⁠
You pick up more from good people than you probably realise... even the annoying ones. πŸ˜‚β 
⁠
Thanks to Anastasia Ttofis for letting me use another clip. 😜⁠

I think there’s a difference between being honest about the bad days... ⁠
⁠..and making EVERY day sound like a bad day. πŸ˜‚β 
⁠
The people I work with are ambitious, care about what they do and want to be around other people who feel the same. πŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ™ŒπŸ½β 
⁠
There’s a reason for that. Winners want to work with winners... and being someone people WANT to work with goes a long way in this industry.⁠
⁠
That doesn't mean you can't have a bad day. Just don't let it become what you're known for. πŸ˜‚β 
⁠
Rosalia Lazzara and I spoke about this when I joined her on the ON BRAND podcast.⁠

Whose job is hardest in getting a deal to completion? πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”β 
⁠
The developer finding the opportunity? πŸ€”β 
The broker winning the client? πŸ€”β 
The BDM winning the business for the lender? πŸ€”β 
The underwriter assessing the risk? πŸ€”β 
⁠
I imagine the answer changes depending who you ask. πŸ˜‚β 
⁠
But if you only get paid when that deal completes... you're relying on EVERYONE above and below you in that process to do their job.⁠
⁠
So who are you going to want to work with again? πŸ‘‡ ⁠
⁠
The people who respond when they say they will, give you straight answers and do what they promise...⁠
⁠..or the people who tell you what you want to hear and then don't deliver?⁠
⁠
This clip came from my recent NRG Insights with Harry Downer. ⁠
⁠

07/09/2026

How do you compete with a BDM who already knows everyone?⁠
⁠
πŸ‘‡πŸ˜…πŸ€” ⁠
⁠
Relationships are (almost) everything in specialist finance...⁠
⁠..so what do you do when you’re new to the industry?⁠
⁠
That’s one of the things I asked Lorenzo Satchell, National Account Director at StreamBank, on the NEW NRG Insights episode.⁠
⁠
His advice includes...⁠
⁠
πŸ‘‰ How to build your first network⁠
πŸ‘‰ Why follow-up is where a lot of BDMs fall short⁠
πŸ‘‰ How being present now can win you the next deal... even if it doesn’t win you this one.⁠
⁠
We also talk career progression, managers vs dealmakers, and why Lorenzo chose who he wanted to work with before worrying about title or salary.⁠
⁠
NRG Insights with Lorenzo Satchell is out now. ⁠
