Why Experienced Brokers Choose Purple Circle
Mid-to-late career stages can feel challenging in many industries. But at Purple Circle, we’ve seen a different story for seasoned brokers.
The relationships you’ve built over years, both professionally and personally, start to convert into opportunities. These networks can unlock deals and prospects that newer brokers might take decades to develop. It can be an era of lower effort for higher reward.
CEO Michael Stephens explains, “We are a good fit when success is measured by the quality of your relationships. Our brokers often say they finally feel their background is an advantage rather than a barrier. And by extension, they feel more valued professionally than ever before because they are finally owning something for themselves”.
Dunbar’s Numbers
British anthropologist Robin Dunbar’s research suggests that human relationships exist in concentric circles, each representing a different scale of connection. At the core are loved ones, followed by good friends, and so on. Expanding outward are friends, then meaningful contacts. By the time we count acquaintance, most people have close to 500, and finally the broader circle of people you can recognise, numbering around 1,500. It stands to reason that as you move through life, the outer circles grow, expanding your overall network and the opportunities it can provide.
Within PCFC, culture matters. “It’s human nature to want to feel part of something, and hierarchical aggregator models often get in the way,” Stephens notes. “Servant leadership is at our core: our goals are aligned with our brokers, and everyone has a stake in shared success.”
