    You can either do a set salary w/bonus based on funding, or a small percentage of every funded file they bring in.

    There may be other solutions but I'm not familiar with them.

    do the math based on funding volume, for example if you are funding 10 million a month and replacing the current iso rep , you will be crazy to pay 1%, however if best case you are expecting him to bring you in 100k a month , one percent wont cut it.
    It also seems that so reps have some sort of split on fees over a certain amount

    Makes sense. What about in the scenario that a funded deal ends up defaulting... Does that generally result in clawback or like a ledger situation where they owe the house the equivalent of a deal that pays off?

    For a good quality experienced ISO rep, a salary and a % of funded new deals is the norm. Especially if they are bringing all the relationships in. If its an existing book they just take over, than different story. W-2 typically do not get clawbacks.

    $75-120K base + override if they do all the recruiting of new ISO's. If they just take over existing book, negotiate the % on the funded deals override to a lesser amount. The value of an ISO manager is they bring ISO books w/them. Otherwise, they are just order takers. BAM!

    60-75k base + 1-2pt on funded. Some shops pay 60-65k and ISO rep eats off the fees which is why most lenders charge 5%+ on OG fees. You should also have expectations like X new iso shops a month onboarded per month and X deals funded per month etc etc.

    Every funder is different you'd have to figure out your margins and see what fits and keeps you profitable. Also, based off those margins the funder should have set expectations like X new iso shops a month onboarded per month and X deals funded per month etc etc. Otherwise the position is not really validated if not generating X revenues.

    You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate. that is the adage in life. If you think your worth is more, and, are underpaid, talk to other companies. I agree, each funder knows what they can and can't pay based off their cost analysis. Adding ISO's is the easy part if you have a book, funding their deals is the challenge. Also, there are partner managers and ISO Directors. Really depends on level of the position to.

    If the product sells itself (like most A funders) than normal salary with bonus incentives . If you are looking for that b paper second position 20-100k 4-8 month 1.49 than you need a solid salesman with a heavy %
