Typically, Factors Agents will be home business entrepreneurs active in their community through clubs and organizations and will also often be very active on social media. Factors Agents will work directly with and submit financing prospects directly to their industry sponsor which will either be an associated factor or a factor’s BDO (Business Development Officer).
Many Factors Agents are active bloggers and look at the Sponsored Agents Program as simply one of many very lucrative affiliate programs, but one that pays an exceptional residual commission.

Unlike freelance brokers and consultants, Factor’s Agents are strictly “lead generators”. IACFB Members who are Freelance Brokers and Consultants will both generate leads and then prospect those leads to close deals. Factor’s Agents generate leads, but the prospecting and deal closing is left to the factor’s BDOs. Leads generated through networking and social media “qualify” themselves using the Agent’s Landing Page (provided) and 
either requesting an offer of additional information or by requesting a conference call with an a factors BDO. Although they are certainly free to do so, Factors Agents are NOT expected to engage in costly direct marketing campaigns, but will simply develop and refer periodic qualified leads to their sponsoring factor by being active in their community, face-to-face networking, being active on social media, and most often simply being in the right place at the right time and armed with the necessary factoring knowledge provided by the program.
Although the Factors Agents Program is designed to be strictly a program for networking and lead-referrers, agents are provided with a comprehensive selection of classes and lessons chosen from Campus Factoring 101 Training Program.

In short, everything about the program is about you, as the agent, generating leads and then letting your factor’s BDO (Business Development Officers) do the rest.
How to submit leads for follow up.
It’s important to remember, as a sponsored agent, you are NOT responsible for selling or “landing the deal”. That is your BDO’s job. You are only responsible for generating the lead through your landing page or through your normal networking or marketing. In the case that you have a lead you have generated from another source, qualify the lead, have them complete a “Company Profile”, and send it to your factor’s BDO for closing and contracting.
