Today’s big questions: Are you highlighting the benefits of financing to your customers? Are you leading with financing on every sale?
Here’s why it matters: Commercial cleaning buyers are great fit for financing.
- Even if your customers are first-time business owners, work primarily in cash, or are shopping for less than $10K—or even $5K!—worth of equipment, financing may still be the best solution for their business goals.
Here’s are our top four reasons why you should always make financing part of your pitch:
- The equipment is the business: Every floor scrubber, carpet extractor, and pressure washer you sell is a new contract your buyers can take and new revenue they can take in. The benefits of financing sell themselves, especially since…
- The ROI math is easy: Commercial clean companies’ monthly contracts dovetail perfectly with monthly financing payments. When customers can do the ROI math on the spot (“For an easy $XXX payment each month, I can bring in $YYYYY!”), they’re more likely to say “Yes” to the sale. They’re also more likely to say “Yes” to…
- Bigger order totals on more high-end equipment: With financing, your customers can get the optimal equipment to maximize their earning, not just the equipment they are able to afford with the cash and credit cards they have on hand.
More repeat business: Acquiring more and better equipment faster means janitorial companies can hire more manpower, expand their marketing and territory, and return to you for even future equipment needs. Financing is a repeat business engine.
The big takeaway: Don’t assume cash is the best payment solution for your commercial cleaning customers. Lead with financing and you can help their businesses—and yours—grow.
