people wanting money - needing loans that you can process.
The purpose of the second ad is to build your list of
investors in your area with money to put into some of these
business proposals you get from the first ad. Obviously,
you'll get more people wanting to borrow money than people
with money to invest; but once you begin running these two
advertisements, you'll be on your way. When you place your
first ads, start checking and following up on similar ads
you see running in your area newspapers. Usually, they will
be listed under "Financial Loans Wanted," or "Money to
Loan." However, don't neglect to check the "Business
Opportunities Wanted" classification as well. When someone
calls in response to your "Money Available" advertisement,
who ever is acting as your secretary should get the name of
the caller, the name of the business, the telephone number,
amount of money needed, kind of business, and most
appropriate time for a consultation. This can be handled
most efficiently with preprinted telephone message pads. So
you simply collect information from all these incoming
calls, look it all over and start making your call-backs.
Basically, your call-back conversation should sound
something like this: "Hello, John Jones? This is Mr. Money
Broker returning your call about money for business
financing. I understand that you're looking for about
$100,000 in order to set up an auto tune-up shop. You stated
that you are already pretty well organized with a business
plan and location, and that you feel you have pretty good
collateral. That's very good. Before we talk any further,
however, I'd like to tell you a little about our company.
"We represent a number of large lending organizations for
business financing, as well as a number of private investors
who are looking for new ideas and businesses to invest in.
Their primary requirement, of course, is that they be
assured of getting their money back, but further that they
will make money from such an investment. "What I do is work
with you in preparing your loan or investment package so
that it will be attractive when it is presented to
prospective lenders. It is very important that your proposal
be complete and in the proper order. It is also of the
greatest importance that it "look good," and "sell" the
people it is taken to. The prospective lender must feel
confident in granting you a loan or investing in your
business. Once we've got your presentation together, I then
take it to some of my lending or investment sources and work
toward obtaining you the money you need. "As I'm sure you're
already aware, it's most important that your proposal be
prepared properly, and presented to the people who are in a
position to give you the money you're asking for. I work
with you to see that your proposal is the best my people
have ever seen, and then I take it to the people who have
the money and are looking for a good investment. For this, I
require a $100 broker's retainer fee. I then go to work on
your specific money needs. What we need to do now is set up
a time and date for me to meet with you so that I may review
your proposal. Would tomorrow morning at 10:00 be all right
with you, or would 11:00 be better?" The important thing is
to be in control of this telephone conversation; to tell the
prospect only what you want him to think about; and to sell
him on the idea of getting on with it by paying the broker's
retainer fee of $100. Only after you have collected that, of
course, you will start to work on evaluating his plan and
getting him the money he needs. When you go to see your
prospect, you'll need to have a printed "broker's agreement"
ready for him to sign at the time he pays the retainer fee.
An example of a basic or simple broker's agreement is shown
here. (Feel free to use the following form as a pattern for
your own agreement, or you may even want to cut it out,
paste it up, and have your printer run off a supply for you.
If you do cut out and use the form, you will of course place
your business name, address and telephone number in the
space "Your Name and Address" at the top. Also, be sure to
block out the instructions on the signature lines.

Once you are organized and rolling, you'll find that most of
your day-to-day income will be derived from the packaging of
loan applications. Once your client has signed the broker's
agreement and given you his check for the retainer fee,
you'll be helping him to get his loan or investment proposal
together. This is the first thing to do, and you HAVE to do
this regardless of any forms your client has already filled
out, or anything he may have done relative to a loan
proposal. First give your client a detailed list of
information he'll need to have within his loan or investment
package. Because requirements do change from time to time,
you will want to give your client the most up-to-date
requirements in this regard.
Go to several of the banks in your area and ask their loan
officers for a copy of their loan application forms. Use
these forms as your guide in making up the detailed list of
requirements you will use in working with your client. If
you need additional assistance, write one of the several
organizations listed at the end of this report. When you
have the package put together and ready for presentation to
a lender, take it back to your client and brief him on how
to present it to prospective lenders, and generally you
would give him the names and addresses of the people you
