Sharyn Ling, Founder of Finance Finance Finance, was recently featured in the Commercial Insider newsletter published by the Commercial & Asset Finance Brokers Association of Australia.
How did you become a Commercial Finance broker?
Leaving my job at a dealership after 15yrs. I started working at UFS in the Loan Processing Centre with the goal to become a Finance broker. Sept 2012, I finally took the plunge and became a Finance broker. When I first started, I really wanted to be over all aspects: cars, trucks, trailers, motorbikes, caravans, boats. After a few years, seeing the benefits in Commercial lending, I did lean that way more.
What do you enjoy most about being a broker?
Helping clients achieve their goal, understanding what they need to make their business grow and supporting their decisions.
What is your worst business decision?
I don’t really have a bad decision, but probably not believing in myself first would be my main issue…especially in my early days as a Finance broker.
What is your best business decision?
Taking the plunge to becoming a Finance broker and growing my business to where it is today.
How do you look after your mental health in what is often a stressful job?
Spending time with my husband, family, animals and friends. Also, taking time away from work when I need to; a good bottle of wine does help!
What does diversity mean to you and have you encountered any diversity-related issues?
Diversity encompasses recognising and respecting the differences among individuals, whether those differences are related to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic status, ability, age, or any other characteristic. It involves creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected and included, regardless of their background or identity.
Where do you see the future of our industry?
Always maintaining a good relationship with all parts of our business from clients, aggregators and all members of the Finance companies, from the BDMs to the Credit and Settlement teams. Other changes to our industry include technology and rules and regulations. If we don’t keep on top of these changes, then like any other person in their field, we are all left behind and struggling to catch up.
