Join the IACFB Broker's Group on LinkedIn
All social media are important to brokers and consultants since well over 50 percent of all leads and new clients are referred by some sort of social media. While Facebook and Twitter are certainly useful, they both pale when compared to the benefits you will gather with a membership on LinkedIn.
LinkedIn will be responsible for most of your introductions to factors and lenders. For those new to the business and looking to learn more quickly, building relationships with business development officers and others in the industry is the fastest way to learn. As a new broker, you will have invitations to podcasts and online seminars that will help you learn the industry quickly.
Additionally, LinkedIn is where you will quickly connect with bank lending officers and accounting professionals who can send business your way. LinkedIn, paired with your content marketing and article posts, is the fastest method of building connections and nurturing those relationships that are so important to your success.

LinkedIn has emerged as one of the most powerful platforms for professionals across industries, and factoring brokers and consultants are no exception. As a broker, your success hinges on your ability to connect with two key groups: financing sources and referral partners. LinkedIn provides a unique opportunity to do both effectively, positioning you at the heart of an expansive network of professionals eager to collaborate, share insights, and do business.
By actively engaging on LinkedIn, factoring brokers can connect with dozens of financing sources, including factoring companies, purchase order finance providers, and alternative lenders. This network allows you to explore different funding programs, build relationships with underwriters, and tailor your offerings to meet the diverse needs of your clients. Additionally, LinkedIn serves as a rich source of referral opportunities. Accountants, attorneys, business consultants, and even other brokers are all on LinkedIn, often sharing insights, client leads, and industry trends. By positioning yourself as an active, knowledgeable participant in the platform’s discussions, you can attract referrals and establish your credibility as a trusted expert in commercial finance.
