Why You Should Always Check for Contests Before Submitting a Deal
Who doesn’t love a good contest?
Whether it’s a leaderboard challenge, a year-end trip giveaway, or a cash bonus for closing your first deal of the month—everyone enjoys a little extra reward for doing what they already do.
That’s why Commercial Finance Consultants Magazine is excited to introduce a brand-new feature for all factoring brokers and consultants:
The “Sales Contests & Factor Incentives” Section—your go-to spot to find current promotions, bonuses, and limited-time contests from participating factors and lenders.
Contests Make Deals Even Sweeter
As a broker or referral agent, your job is already rewarding—you connect business owners with the funding they desperately need and earn residual, life-of-account commissions in the process.
But imagine submitting that same deal…
And also qualifying for a $500 closing bonus.
Or a gift card, weekend getaway, or recognition prize.
That’s what contests and special incentive programs can do. And you’d be surprised how many lenders run them.
Why This Section Matters—And Why It Can Pay to Check
Most factors don’t advertise their contests widely.
Some post them on private broker portals.
Some share them by email—if you’re on the list.
And others? You might not hear about it at all unless you ask.
That’s why we’ve centralized everything in one place.
By checking our Sales Contests & Factor Incentives section before submitting a deal, you can:
-
Spot active bonus programs tied to industries (like trucking, staffing, construction)
-
Choose a lender offering contest rewards in addition to strong client terms
-
Make sure you don’t leave money on the table
Where to Find It (and How to Use It)
Visit Commercial Finance Consultants Magazine and look for the “Contests” menu item in the top navigation bar.
You’ll see:
-
Brief contest summaries (bonus amount, contest terms, deadline)
-
Direct links to the factor’s broker program or portal
-
Tips for submitting your deal and qualifying for the bonus
We’ll update this section weekly or as contests are submitted by participating lenders.
A Final Tip for Smart Brokers
Factoring is all about strategic relationships—but it’s also about being sharp.
Before you hit submit on that deal…
Take 60 seconds to scan the Contests section.
You just might turn a standard commission into a standout payday.
Because in this business, it always pays to stay informed.
And sometimes… it pays even more.
Check the Sales Contests section now—before you submit that next deal.
You could be just one lead away from a bonus you didn’t expect—but definitely deserve.
