The equipment need

The distributor supplied a nationwide network of restaurants, hotels and cafes, whose owners hesitated to pay cash for equipment used in a highly seasonal business.

It was looking for a partner able to process files quickly and streamline the sales process.

It also needed simulation tools and partner follow-up to build the offer into its sales pitch.

  • Soft-serve ice cream machines
  • Slush and granita machines
  • Countertop foodservice equipment

The support described in the project

Leaseworld built an upgradable lease program dedicated to the equipment sold by this distributor, with terms of 24 to 60 months to fit the seasonality of the businesses involved.

A simulation tool displayed a monthly payment during the sales meeting, and a fast-track decision process was set up for smaller files.

Leaseworld also supported the distributor's sales teams in presenting the lease offer to their customers.

The reported operational outcome

End customers equipped themselves while preserving cash, spreading the investment over the equipment's operating life.

The distributor gained a differentiating sales argument compared with a cash sale.

File processing was streamlined, with a quick preliminary answer on routine requests, and the program supported the growth of the customer network nationwide.
