It is a numbers game and it ain’t easy.

However, there are ways to make it easier on yourself.

We recognize that leasing will not be the answer for every customer. However, simply positioning and educating customers about monthly payment options during the sales process will allow you to have dialog and build rapport that increases your probability of winning even as a cash purchase.
