Solution FirstLease finances the equipment for the customer with a low, fixed monthly payment. You win the sale and the client now has the equipment he desperately needed. Common Scenario

6. Calculate the monthly payment by using our lease factors Equipment cost x lease factor = monthly payment Quote the monthly payment first Which would you rather sell: a lump sum payment of $5,000 or a $125 monthly payment? Put the focus back on the benefits of the equipment, not the price. Lead with a shorter term When you begin your sales process, start with a shorter term, such as 24 months. If your customer indicates the amount is too high, you may be able to offer a 36-month term, thus lowering their payment.
