Be Bold
By Scott Wheeler, CLFP

Top originators are redefining the standard in the commercial equipment finance and leasing industry. Top originators don’t just meet expectations — they obliterate them. Where others see company goals as finish lines, these high performers treat them as starting points. They don’t ask, “What’s enough?” — they ask, “What’s next?”

These professionals:

  • Reject limitations — They refuse to be boxed in by averages or historical benchmarks.
  • Embrace possibility — Their mindset is rooted in abundance, not scarcity. They believe more is always achievable.
  • Sell with conviction — Their enthusiasm for their value proposition is contagious, making them trusted advisors, not just salespeople.
  • Pursue excellence relentlessly — They’re not chasing quotas; they’re chasing mastery.

This bold outlook isn’t just about ambition — it’s about belief. Belief in their solutions, their clients, and most importantly, themselves.

In a recent sales meeting, a top originator listened quietly as his peers explained why they couldn’t match his production levels. They cited market conditions, credit constraints, and internal hurdles. After hearing them out, he offered a simple, pointed response:

“Your limitations are self-imposed. The market is carving out space for professionals who break through the noise and deliver superior service and products. Success in this industry is earned by thinking and acting boldly.”

He went on to explain that his success isn’t built on chasing every deal — it’s built on attracting the "right" clients. He focuses on originating high-quality assets by aligning with businesses that value long-term partnerships and bring strength to the table. He doesn’t waste time on marginal transactions that merely meet minimum credit criteria and may never fund.

Think and Act Boldly.

Wheeler Business Consulting is working with individual originators and sales teams throughout the industry to ensure that they are well positioned in the market, capturing their fair share of business, and outperforming the competition.

We Are Growing Our Senior Sales Team Now

Meet Your Old Customers for the First Time

Summary: Viewing customers through the lens of the past is a recipe for disaster. It’s time to forget nearly everything we knew about our customers and to meet them again – for the first time.

Almost every company has lost key customers in this world-wide recession, and all customers have been changed forever by the economic turn of events few predicted and fewer could imagine.

While it’s easy to see a dark cloud in every silver lining today, the economic downturn does provide us with a unique opportunity to clean and polish the lens through which we view our customers.

The customers we knew just last year have changed in at least three important ways:
1) Having never before experienced economic turmoil quite like this recession, they find themselves submersed in an economy for which they have no experience or frame of reference.
2) They are, like all of us in this atmosphere of pervasive uncertainly, seeking answers and some sense of predictability and security.
3) Their employees are overworked, confused and fearful.

“Jim, that efficient employee your sales professional has worked with for years, now appears uncertain, confused and apprehensive about his future with his company. Your sales professional begins to explain how your new product or service will save Jim’s company boatloads of money, and Jim appears a bit distant, distracted and even mildly uninterested.”

Like most individuals in customer organizations today, Jim is a changed person. A determination by your sales professional to meet Jim, and old customer, for the first time is an important first step in understanding how Jim has changed, who he is today, and how the sales professional might provide value to the “new” Jim and his company.

I think we all have a natural tendency to look at people, especially those we haven’t seen in awhile, through the lens of memory – what I call the lens of the past.

When someone mentions a name from our past, it is normal to respond, “I know her.” In fact, what is true is that we knew her. Our memory contains stored images of her, as well as feelings, positive or negative, that we recall when thinking about her in a different time, and under different circumstances.

This limitation of thought provides us with all sorts of misinformation about our customers. If we agree that all of us, including our customers, have been changed by a new economic reality, and that we naturally continue to change as time moves on, then it appears prudent to leave old perceptions

in the past, and to meet our old customers for the first time. Sales professionals who develop and cultivate this skill may find ways to deliver greater, more relevant value to customers and to their own companies.

Why I Hike
by Mel Vinson, CLFP
VP of Marketing & Development at the CLFP Foundation

Hiking has always been more than just a weekend activity for me—it’s a way to reset, breathe, and reconnect. Whether I’m navigating a trail in the red rocks of the desert or winding through a quiet green forest, stepping outside brings a sense of peace that’s hard to find anywhere else.

In the middle of a busy schedule, it’s easy to let moments of stillness slip away, but I’ve learned that making time for the outdoors is a necessity.

With travel being a large part of my career, I’ve found ways to incorporate hiking into my work life, tacking on an extra day here and there to explore the cities I visit. Some of my favorite hikes recently have been in Sedona and Zion National Park, where I’ve had the chance to turn professional connections into friendships and share the love of hiking and adventure with my coworkers and peers. The industry can move fast, and spending time outside has become my way of slowing down, refocusing, and reminding myself of the bigger picture.

Beyond the physical benefits, time in nature offers a kind of clarity that’s hard to find anywhere else. The rhythm of your steps, the fresh air, and the quiet moments create space to think, reflect, and just be present. Some of the best ideas come when you’re not actively searching for them, and for me, the trail has been a place where inspiration comes naturally. Whether it’s a long trek through the mountains or a walk in a local park, nature has a way of resetting perspective. It’s a reminder that sometimes, stepping away is exactly what we need to move forward.
