Unlock Long-Term Profit with Competitive Customer Financing on the First Deal
For equipment vendors and independent leasing companies alike, landing that first customer financing deal isn’t just about a single transaction—it’s an investment in a profitable future. Your first deal can lay the foundation for a relationship that keeps customers coming back, giving you access to valuable repeat business and a wealth of future opportunities.
Why the First Deal Matters More Than You Think
Approaching customers you’ve already worked with can make all the difference when you’re introducing a new product or financing option. Familiarity breaks down barriers, making the sales process smoother and often eliminating the need for new financing document reviews. Once you’ve established rapport and trust through a successful initial transaction, customers are more likely to bypass competitors and return to you for their financing needs.
Consider an Aggressive First Offer to Win Their Loyalty
When attracting new business, it can be worth offering an especially attractive first deal—even if it’s at breakeven. This approach isn’t just about closing a single sale; it’s about securing a potentially profitable, long-term customer relationship. Once they’re satisfied with your service, these customers often favor existing relationships for future, exclusive deals, which can deliver substantial profits over time.
The Power of Trust and Repeat Business
Satisfied customers are your best asset. With an initial positive experience, they’re more likely to return, trusting you to handle their financing needs for years to come. By positioning your first financing offer as an investment in their business, you’re also investing in a steady stream of profitable future deals.

2 周This is spot on—those first deals are really so much more than transactions; they’re the gateway to lasting customer relationships and long-term growth. Pierre Yves Noel and I touched on this exact approach in our recent podcast episode on the LAER principle: Land, Adopt, Expand, Renew. That first "Land" deal sets the tone, but it’s the follow-through with "Adopt" and "Expand" that builds trust, and “Renew” is where true loyalty pays dividends. A well-structured initial deal lays the foundation for a partnership that’s mutually profitable. Exciting to see more businesses embracing this strategic mindset!
