Jim Fleming’s Top Ten Reasons for Staying in Equipment Leasing

The seemingly daily doses of discouraging news on the

economy and our industry inarguably has some of your

readership questioning why they are staying in the

leasing industry. 

I thought I would share the recently published "Top

Ten Reasons for Staying in the Equipment Leasing

Industry". 

TOP TEN REASONS FOR STAYING IN EQUIPMENT LEASING

10.  I love my sales manager, he/she is so

understanding

9.  To hear a lessee utter those three magic words:

"What's the Rate?"

8.  I love the abuse and frustration

7.  For the gratitude when a vendor says: "You've been

so persistent, I'm gonna give you a shot"  (Note: Only

until you see the twenty leasing inquiries)

6.  I love the consistent income

5.  At parties, when introduced as being in the

leasing business, to hear the other guy say "I'm

resealing my driveway.  Will you lease me a paver?"

4. For brokers only: Funding source's approval subject

to explaining the inquiry from Capital One.

3. For funding sources only: When processing an

application for Tony Marrone dba John's Auto Repair,

to hear a broker say "I don't know who John is"

2. I love dealing with people and all their

intersesting, idiosyncratic little quirks
