Alternative Commercial Finance
What is a very clear area of opportunity,  for those unique individuals armed with the necessary "tools" to thrive in industry, has been historically difficult to take advantage of due to the minimal access to any meaningful industry training.  Gaining a working knowledge of the many  industry product is not necessarily difficult, especially if you know what you are looking for.

One of the most accessible (and affordable) sources of basic industry training and a great place to begin your career is with the IACFB or International Association of Commercial Finance Brokers. While primarily an in-house training facility for a Florida-based factor, IACFB and its online "Campus IACFB" academy, offer exceptional introductory training for those seeking to become independent brokers and consultants. Though access to the training areas is for "Members Only", its Online Resource Center includes links to many books and publications to help get your career started.

An equally important area of focus for would-be industry entrants is that of their marketing and prospecting skill sets.  Many with sales experience in a "professional product" or service area will find the factoring and alternative commercial finance industry the perfect career path due to its almost legendary commission and compensation schedules.  Others lured to the industry as a new and exciting career move may find the learning curve for sales skills development quite steep.  To be certain, success in the industry is, to a great degree, based on product knowledge.
