2. Professional relationship development is highly required for achieving success and enhancing brand image.
3. Individuals or customers with a history of credit defaults should not be contacted.
4. Interpersonal style or skills are highly required in the context of finance brokers. Moreover, without having effectual communication skills brokers would not become able to convince or deal with customers. Further, customer's requirements in relation to the loan policies and process also differ as per demographical aspects. Thus, the broker should keep in mind all such aspects while dealing with the clients.

6. For the development of new business focus will be placed on undertaking traditional and modern promotional aspects. In other words, by placing advertisements on social sites awareness among the customers can be developed regarding the services and thereby customer base as well as sales revenue.
