The Broker Vs. Banker Showdown

In this week’s NMP cover story, “The Fight Of The Century: Roque vs. duPont,” industry veterans Dr. Rick Roque and Jason duPont trade sharp blows on the defining question: are Bankers or Brokers better — and who wins the next decade? Then Dave Hershman asks, “Are You Ready For The End Of Trigger Leads?” reframing the change as a sales-training opportunity to deepen value-rich referral relationships that compound over time. Two rounds, one theme: competing well means serving better.
