Im interested in how people get paid to have others fill out credit card applications?

I was at a subway and i saw a tent in front of the entrance. And there was a guy trying to get people to sign up for a chase credit card. He had a buch of applications and clipboards. I asked how much he gets paid and he told me that he got paid per application filled out. He would not tell me how he got the applications and how much he got paid per app. Can anyone explain how this works and how i might be able to do suchIm interested in how people get paid to have others fill out credit card applications?
