1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.100 Trey Markel: Broker Fair, especially the New York one, I 2 00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:04.140 got to give it to Sean Murray, the whole deBanked team. It's 3 00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:06.600 just a fabulous show. It brings everyone together in the 4 00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:09.090 community. People are closing deals, we haven't seen each 5 00:00:09.090 --> 00:00:11.370 other for a little while. There's new technology coming 6 00:00:11.370 --> 00:00:13.710 out. There's new funders and brokers coming to the floor. So 7 00:00:13.710 --> 00:00:16.020 this is a great way to bring everyone together, shake some 8 00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:18.000 hands, do some business, and you know, keep it going. 9 00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:20.910 Speaker 1: What's been your biggest takeaway from this 10 00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:21.870 experience so far? 11 00:00:21.870 --> 00:00:23.130 Trey Markel: The biggest takeaway I think I get from 12 00:00:23.130 --> 00:00:25.560 Broker Fair is kind of the knowledge and what everyone's up 13 00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:27.540 to, right. So we're a tech company. We're not a broker, 14 00:00:27.540 --> 00:00:29.820 we're a funder center software offers, you know, technology 15 00:00:29.820 --> 00:00:32.940 into the industry. And the takeaway is really the feedback 16 00:00:32.940 --> 00:00:35.310 for us, you know, hey, clients, how are you doing? What kind of 17 00:00:35.310 --> 00:00:37.260 feedback do you have in the software? How's the software 18 00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:40.080 been going? Are you diving deep into the software? So for tech 19 00:00:40.080 --> 00:00:42.510 companies like us, it's like, Hey, guys, what's what's going 20 00:00:42.510 --> 00:00:45.150 on? How do you feel about what's going on? How can we help you do 21 00:00:45.150 --> 00:00:47.340 more? And that's some of the big learning stuff that we take away 22 00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:48.450 every year from Broker Fair. 23 00:00:49.810 --> 00:00:52.600 Speaker 1: Okay, and what are you looking forward to the most 24 00:00:52.630 --> 00:00:53.680 at this event this year? 25 00:00:54.800 --> 00:00:57.020 Trey Markel: You know, I always look forward to just you know 26 00:00:57.020 --> 00:00:59.930 shaking hands and seeing both current clients and seeing new 27 00:00:59.930 --> 00:01:03.020 clients. It's always great to see what's new in the industry, 28 00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:06.020 what people are up to. So just just, you know, shaking hands 29 00:01:06.020 --> 00:01:08.390 with people that we've seen, or haven't seen for a little while 30 00:01:08.390 --> 00:01:12.830 now. And getting to getting to know new customers is what I 31 00:01:12.830 --> 00:01:13.940 always look forward to every year. 32 00:01:14.450 --> 00:01:15.890 Speaker 1: You did the tech talk, right? 33 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:16.460 Trey Markel: I did, yeah. 34 00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:18.170 Speaker 1: How did this tech talk go? 35 00:01:18.770 --> 00:01:20.540 Trey Markel: The tech talk went really, really good. We always 36 00:01:20.540 --> 00:01:22.430 hope that that there's more people that show up every year, 37 00:01:22.430 --> 00:01:24.380 as always, but it was really great this year was really 38 00:01:24.380 --> 00:01:26.750 special for Centrex Software, cause we launched some really, 39 00:01:26.750 --> 00:01:29.930 really new, groundbreaking technology for the industry to 40 00:01:29.930 --> 00:01:33.890 help clients become more engaged with their clients. So it was it 41 00:01:33.890 --> 00:01:35.870 was really great. You know, if you kind of look at the eyes of 42 00:01:35.870 --> 00:01:38.390 people as I was talking and I was saying certain things. You 43 00:01:38.390 --> 00:01:40.850 can see kind of the eyes perk up a little bit, because some of 44 00:01:40.850 --> 00:01:43.190 the new tech that we're dropping is, it's pretty cool stuff. 45 00:01:43.460 --> 00:01:46.070 Speaker 1: Do you think coming here and speaking doing your 46 00:01:46.100 --> 00:01:50.840 tech talk, helps your business grow through like connections or 47 00:01:50.930 --> 00:01:54.860 helps you prove to potential clients or potential employees? 48 00:01:55.100 --> 00:01:57.650 Trey Markel: Yeah, speaking at Broker Fair always helps the 49 00:01:57.650 --> 00:02:01.160 brand always helps the business gets our new releases out there. 50 00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:03.950 It's always nice for me to show face with current customers and 51 00:02:03.950 --> 00:02:07.820 potential customers. But we love coming here.
