Financing is a powerful tool. It can provide customers an affordable way to pay for what they need while helping you grow your company. Below, we outline three ways in which financing can benefit your business:
- It provides customers a way to pay for what they need increasing your customer base – HVAC repairs are often unplanned, and most customers don’t have savings readily available to pay for a new system or repair. Offering financing gives your customers payment alternatives so they can afford the upgrades they need and help you and your team to close more jobs.
- It gives customers greater purchasing power to get the job they really want which increases your average ticket – Many buyers pass on attractive higher-efficiency systems and other add-ons because choosing more basic options fits their wallet. When you present these customers with a financing option they can easily include in their monthly budget, you give them a way to go for the upgrades they really want while also increasing your average ticket.
- It increases customer referrals – Often, customers call you in for a straightforward AC replacement. But on your home visit, you may discover the homeowner has severe allergies and could benefit from an air purifier. By offering the homeowner an HVAC product that will improve his quality of life, as well as an affordable way to finance it, you’re delivering excellent customer service and building a lasting relationship. Recognize that satisfied customers won’t hesitate to call you back when they need another job and they’re very likely to recommend your services to their family and friends.
