Well, the Secured team asked them. According to responses, <strong style="text-align: var(--text-align);">67% of those not including a payment on every quote did not do so because they didn’t trust their customer or the customer experience offered by their finance process or partners.</strong> This means these vendors didn’t trust their customers to the equipment finance industry’s handling. How can the industry earn trust and seamless integration enjoyed by office technology or forklift asset sectors everywhere in the equipment sales process? Stay close to Suite in the coming weeks.
