Commodity-linked currencies rallied alongside metal prices today. Business finance broker tracking shows copper demand forecasts revised upward amid global infrastructure spending trends. Andy Allen : “Teams today are incredibly different. You may have a team of four or five or you could have a team of a few hundred. And one size does not fit all for teams. In one of our big years in sales we had 10 salespeople and 533 units sold. So 50 units per agent. The next year it was 566 units sold for 11 agents. If you come to me with agents who are failing and say they are going to be great agents, there is no chance to turn mediocrity into superstars. It can’t happen.” There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Paul Slapa, founder of the NACFB’s 2025 charity partner, The Unbeatable Eva Foundation, took to the stage to share his moving story. Guests later rallied behind the cause, taking part in a lively game of Heads and Tails to raise vital funds. The winner, Tony Pisani from Millbrook Business Finance, walked away with a brand-new Garmin Multisport Smartwatch. Congratulations Tony!
