00:00.000 --> 00:02.100 Trey Markel: Broker Fair, especially the New York one, I 00:02.100 --> 00:04.140 got to give it to Sean Murray, the whole deBanked team. It's 00:04.140 --> 00:06.600 just a fabulous show. It brings everyone together in the 00:06.600 --> 00:09.090 community. People are closing deals, we haven't seen each 00:09.090 --> 00:11.370 other for a little while. There's new technology coming 00:11.370 --> 00:13.710 out. There's new funders and brokers coming to the floor. So 00:13.710 --> 00:16.020 this is a great way to bring everyone together, shake some 00:16.020 --> 00:18.000 hands, do some business, and you know, keep it going. 00:18.360 --> 00:20.910 Speaker 1: What's been your biggest takeaway from this 00:20.940 --> 00:21.870 experience so far? 00:21.870 --> 00:23.130 Trey Markel: The biggest takeaway I think I get from 00:23.130 --> 00:25.560 Broker Fair is kind of the knowledge and what everyone's up 00:25.560 --> 00:27.540 to, right. So we're a tech company. We're not a broker, 00:27.540 --> 00:29.820 we're a funder center software offers, you know, technology 00:29.820 --> 00:32.940 into the industry. And the takeaway is really the feedback 00:32.940 --> 00:35.310 for us, you know, hey, clients, how are you doing? What kind of 00:35.310 --> 00:37.260 feedback do you have in the software? How's the software 00:37.260 --> 00:40.080 been going? Are you diving deep into the software? So for tech 00:40.080 --> 00:42.510 companies like us, it's like, Hey, guys, what's what's going 00:42.510 --> 00:45.150 on? How do you feel about what's going on? How can we help you do 00:45.150 --> 00:47.340 more? And that's some of the big learning stuff that we take away 00:47.340 --> 00:48.450 every year from Broker Fair. 00:49.810 --> 00:52.600 Speaker 1: Okay, and what are you looking forward to the most 00:52.630 --> 00:53.680 at this event this year? 00:54.800 --> 00:57.020 Trey Markel: You know, I always look forward to just you know 00:57.020 --> 00:59.930 shaking hands and seeing both current clients and seeing new 00:59.930 --> 01:03.020 clients. It's always great to see what's new in the industry, 01:03.020 --> 01:06.020 what people are up to. So just just, you know, shaking hands 01:06.020 --> 01:08.390 with people that we've seen, or haven't seen for a little while 01:08.390 --> 01:12.830 now. And getting to getting to know new customers is what I 01:12.830 --> 01:13.940 always look forward to every year. 01:14.450 --> 01:15.890 Speaker 1: You did the tech talk, right? 01:15.920 --> 01:16.460 Trey Markel: I did, yeah. 01:16.760 --> 01:18.170 Speaker 1: How did this tech talk go? 01:18.770 --> 01:20.540 Trey Markel: The tech talk went really, really good. We always 01:20.540 --> 01:22.430 hope that that there's more people that show up every year, 01:22.430 --> 01:24.380 as always, but it was really great this year was really 01:24.380 --> 01:26.750 special for Centrex Software, cause we launched some really, 01:26.750 --> 01:29.930 really new, groundbreaking technology for the industry to 01:29.930 --> 01:33.890 help clients become more engaged with their clients. So it was it 01:33.890 --> 01:35.870 was really great. You know, if you kind of look at the eyes of 01:35.870 --> 01:38.390 people as I was talking and I was saying certain things. You 01:38.390 --> 01:40.850 can see kind of the eyes perk up a little bit, because some of 01:40.850 --> 01:43.190 the new tech that we're dropping is, it's pretty cool stuff. 01:43.460 --> 01:46.070 Speaker 1: Do you think coming here and speaking doing your 01:46.100 --> 01:50.840 tech talk, helps your business grow through like connections or 01:50.930 --> 01:54.860 helps you prove to potential clients or potential employees? 01:55.100 --> 01:57.650 Trey Markel: Yeah, speaking at Broker Fair always helps the 01:57.650 --> 02:01.160 brand always helps the business gets our new releases out there. 02:01.520 --> 02:03.950 It's always nice for me to show face with current customers and 02:03.950 --> 02:07.820 potential customers. But we love coming here. We love speaking. 02:07.910 --> 02:10.580 It helps with marketing lead gen, it helps with the brand and 02:10.580 --> 02:12.980 it also helps with the community. You know, I don't 02:12.980 --> 02:15.470 care what industry you're in. It's all about community and 02:15.470 --> 02:17.420 Centrex always wants to be a part of that community.
