Can't get your leasing company to call you back? Have questions that need to be answered? Perhaps it may be worthwhile to consider In-House Leasing. Here are 5 potential advantages.
When visiting with prospects and clients about current or previous experiences with copier vendors, one complaint I hear often: “I just can’t get my leasing company to call me back.” Nothing’s more frustrating than zero response to getting your questions answered or issues resolved.
It’s at this point that I love to present another alternative: In-House leasing. It’s an option that’s worth exploring before you sign on the dotted line with new office equipment. While there are many reputable third part leasing companies available, In-House leasing, which some copier providers offer, provides a unique blend of flexibility and responsiveness that third parties simply can’t always match.
5 Advantages of Engaging in an In-House Copier Lease:
1. Flexibility.
Whether it’s pricing or terms and conditions, flexibility can be a valuable component to leasing "In-House." Being your own leasing division, this entity makes the final decisions "In-House." Understanding that, your provider can often adjust your lease to accurately reflect equipment moves and your changing print environment, and one that matches the price-point you require.
2. Responsiveness.
Put simply, when you speak to a representative regarding your lease that is also your service provider and account representative, that person is in direct contact with the ultimate decision-makers. They can respond quickly to any of your leasing inquiries and offer a personalized approach to helping you add new equipment or modify a lease.
3. Convenience.
Partnering with one entity for service and the financial aspects of your agreement is simply easier. By leasing “In-House,” maintenance and support, installation and training can be bundled into one very easy-to-translate invoice.
4. End of Term.
As you near the end of your lease term, an "In-House" partner will often provide a greater variety of options: Purchase the equipment, return it, upgrade it, or lease it again.
5. Accountability.
This brings us to that complaint mentioned above: “I just can’t get my leasing company to call me back.” Being accountable is crucial for any technology engagement.
Think about it this way: The same company that you develop and acquire your technology solution from is the same company that services and cares for it … and since that’s the same company that holds your copier lease and to whom payments are made, accountability is embedded in the business relationship.
