Hi Finance1, Thanks for the advice - I appreciate it. I may first try doing it on my own using the training the different MCA lenders offer. But I understand it probably is harder than it looks...

Still wondering if anyone out there has sold MCAs using door-to-door cold-calling, who can share what the typical ratios might be?

On another thread talking about cold-calling BY PHONE, I saw that MCNetwork said:

"Using a cold call approach, a good lead warmer might get 1 full application from 150-200 dials. Out of 100 full applications, you might actually fund 10-15 deals (even though you might get 30-40 approvals). If you have to pay the lead warmers an hourly wage it can be a very expensive process."

and CO1 said:

"Its not about getting in apps anymore. Its serial shoppers and the big guys trying to kill the small guys. My company in one month gets 50-60 full package but we end up funding only 25-35 at the end."

So I'm wondering if I left a flyer and business card at 100 businesses per day, what that might get me?

...Maybe a few conversations and one application, or what?

I was thinking of starting out doing this one day a week, and seeing what I could get from it. But I'd really like to have some idea of what to expect before I start.

Also, are there any important things to include on the marketing materials that businesses are looking for -- that might greatly increase the response rate?
