With the current economical downturn that the world is currently experiencing, there is a lot of debt going around. Debt collections are at an all time high and so are debt settlements. In some ways the debt settlement sales business is a lot like the liquidation business. One could even call it debt liquidation.

Debt management brokerage firms have sprung up all over the place now days. While they have always been part of the landscape, recently they have come forward as a real possibility for earning an income from home or as a small business.

Here's how this works: Someone with debt piled up around there ears and paying a lot of money in several different directions at once is still most likely fielding several calls a day from several creditors. As a representative of a n affiliated company, you would call the potential client and offer them an opportunity to consolidate their debt into one monthly payment. For the most part the steps a representative would have to take are:

• 1. Broker receives a qualified lead
• 2. Broker pre-qualifies the lead by following steps 3 through 7
• 3. Confirm that lead is in a state approved by New Life Lending
• 4. Confirm that the lead meets the Minimum Acceptance Standards
• 5. Get creditor information and client's personal information
• 6. Get several phone numbers and email addresses for the lead so that you can get back in touch with the lead at later times
• 7. Go over the disclosures
• 8. If the lead wants to proceed with the debt settlement program then
• 9. Your Account Executive will then email you a Contract that your lead is to fill out and return to you
• 10. Once you receive the signed Contract you would send it to your affiliate contact for review and approval

The pluses are all there for the affiliated caller (you) and it sounds like all of the back-end work on the deal is brokered by the affiliated company. The catch in all of this is the time you have to spend on closing the deal. While the affiliate company provides leads for you to follow, we are talking about people's debt, so things can get a little touchy. Bull in the china shop sales tactics would probably not go over too well. However someone with a soft sales touch might do well. The successful representative in this business understands the 'leads' are you customers and not 'dead beats' in need of some ironing out.

Compensation in this business seems to run about 8% for the debt you settle being put into your pocket. Whether this is all paid to you upfront or as the client makes payments depends on the company your sign up with as an affiliate.

Training for these jobs runs from online video presentations to teleconferencing calls and even the occasional live seminar. The proper training will show you everything you need to know as far as information to pass on to your prospect and the best, tried and tested methods for convincing your leads as to the value of the service. Some training programs are just a few videos while others are more intense. While no one wants to spend a lot of time watching videos and doing worksheets, the more in depth the training, the more prepared you would be.
