    The Broker Cycles

    There are 3 simple cycles we've noticed make a successful broker shop:

    Cycle one: Ends when a merchant fills out your application. Success here requires targeting various marketing channels, managing lead providers, and efficient lead assignments.

    • Marketing: It takes time to find the channel that fits your message and budget. Some marketing companies provide pre-vetted social media leads to jumpstart this. (Drop the names of those companies in the comments below)
    • Lead providers: A lot of brokers mix their marketing with emails and SMS. When you think lead providers, you have to think Data. (Buying packages are illegal and not scalable) Buying intent data for a well-trained cold-calling team can yield more qualified, and larger deals. (Lots of reputable data providers in the industry - Lead Tycoon, Meridian, Klover, etc.)
    • Lead assignment: Use a lightweight Sales CRM (like Zoho, GHL, or Pipedrive). These are designed to connect your marketing channels, easily assign leads, managers, sales cycle pipeline, dialers, and notes without the complexity of a full backend system.


    Cycle two: This cycle ends when your offer pitch is accepted. If you are handling more than 10 applications per week, you must automate the middle cycle. Software like B2 Systems acts as a hands-free CRM: it grabs the deal, scrubs the bank statements/application, and matches your funders from best to worst in seconds. It can also connect to your sales CRM.

    • Growth: Time wasted in manual processing is the #1 reason brokers can't grow.
    • Security: Too many hands touching a file is the top reason for "backdooring," especially if documents are sent to overseas teams. Software allows this to happen in seconds with no human touching the documents until they hit the funder’s desk. (Don't just sign up with any funders either but that's a different topic)



    Cycle 3: This cycle covers your closing process. How is your team presenting the offer? Are they preparing the client for additional stipulations or the funding call? This cycle ends when the deal is funded. From there, it’s back to your sales team for follow-ups to prepare the merchant for a renewal, which restarts Cycles 2 and 3. Most sales CRM offer automatic reminders.

    Focus on these 3 and you will have a real business that can't stop growing.

    Brokers and ISO's take this advice.
    If you're looking for a Direct Lender.

    My name is John, the Funding Manager here at True Advance.
    If you’re moving MCA deals and tired of slow underwriting, low payouts, or stacked positions killing your approvals — let’s fix that.

    We are a registered direct lender on Daily Funder, DeBanked and Funder Intel with a 5-star rating and 250 positive reviews on TrustPilot.

    We’re actively expanding our ISO network and looking for serious partners who want:

    • Fast approvals

    • Same-day funding

    • Competitive buy rates

    • High commissions paid quickly

    • Real underwriting access (no middle layers)

    We know speed and communication close deals — and we’re built for both.

    If you’re ready to increase approvals and keep your merchants coming back, let’s connect this week.



    Our ISO Link is below, and our underwriting guidelines are attached.

    I'm surprised more brokers didn't comment on this post. Only Funders!

    What type of leads do you recommend for a solo broker? And are those lead providers giving good results?

    I can't recommend any particular lead provider since by the time our clients use our platform they already have their marketing or lead systems dialed in.

    We're the 2nd cycle, making sure that once you get an application in, you can jump straight to your next deal because you're not stuck doing data entry, matching funders or paying someone to do bad data entry while the merchant talks to other brokers. For a solo shop, the goal is to act like a 10-person office.

    However, I did list some names there that you can check out and find out what their lead plans are.
