📈 Why do the big keep getting bigger, and where does that leave smaller companies?

As companies scale, some expenses grow with them. Others, like technology and compliance, don't necessarily increase at the same rate. That can give larger organizations a significant advantage and help drive industry consolidation.

But bigger doesn't mean unbeatable. 💡

In this clip from WFG's Industry Perspective Q2 2026, economist Dr. Bill Conerly explains why smaller, nimble companies can still compete by finding the niches, markets, and opportunities larger organizations may overlook.

It's a fascinating look at scale, competition, and why there may always be room for the "little guys" to win. 📊

What will separate the winners from everyone else?
According to WFG Chairman and Founder Patrick F. Stone, the answer is simple: efficiency.

The organizations that remove time, effort, and unnecessary costs from the transaction while delivering a better customer experience will be the ones that thrive.

Economist Dr. Bill Conerly builds on that idea by highlighting another opportunity: with many small business owners approaching retirement, the next generation of leaders may find more opportunities to step into ownership than ever before.

It's an insightful conversation about efficiency, leadership, customer experience, and the future of the real estate industry.
