Are you creating a memorable impression of your business to your customers and prospective customers? Many times businesses do not communicate the right message when marketing themselves. As a result they are not making that memorable impression although they may believe they are. Too often businesses that are not big billion-dollar brands believe they do… Why Video Marketing Should Be Important to Your Business Marketing today is all about educating your audience and providing valuable content to help steer customers to your business. A never-ending challenge for companies in all industries is how to get the most out of your investment in marketing. Both in time and dollars, what are the most effective marketing methods you can use? And… All of us at Pinnacle Finance pride ourselves on our long-standing relationships with our dealers. Our dealers ARE our business and we work hard to provide unique financing solutions for their customers. “Prior to working with Pinnacle my major concern was that like most new finance companies or new relationships we would be unable to speak with them about customers an individual basis. We have been pleased since we can always speak with someone there regarding a particular customer and any credit issues they may have. They work with us to get the deal bought. I have been in the Water Treatment business 32 years, and so I have seen many Finance Companies come and go. I feel Pinnacle is more like it was years ago, when a dealer could pick up the phone and work for the customer and for himself to get a contract bought. Most lenders only go by FICO scores and there is no deviation.” “Our biggest concern working with financing companies is being funded on a timely basis. Pinnacle not only funds quickly, they go the extra mile to make sure you and your customers are happy. They have a way of making our customer feel at ease with financing. Kerri and Scott are amazing since they make everything so easy. They care and it shows. I have recommend Pinnacle to other dealers because of their customer focus.” “Like most dealers, we are always concerned with our rate of approvals and turn downs. In addition, it is a major pain to be required to provide onerous documentation and proof of income etc. Pinnacle helps to keep that necessity of documentation down to a manageable level. Also, we are always pleasantly surprised to receive quick credit approvals and to be able to reach someone at Pinnacle to discuss any issues or problems. Our relationship with Pinnacle remains very sound and seems to be mutually beneficial. We anticipate being able to expand into other markets and certainly expect Pinnacle Finance to expand in order to capitalize on those new opportunities for all of us.” I must admit we were a bit skeptical as to what value you could bring to us as we had strong relationships with multiple other finance companies but you have proved to be of great value to us in many areas. Most notably you take a look at the whole picture with a customer, not just their credit score, and this has helped us provide financing to customers that deserve good water but went through very explainable and understandable situations in their lives, particularly in bankruptcy and lapse of work situations. It has also helped us receive "appropriate" bids on customers, not just bids that would be good enough to secure our business. This is quite refreshing in your industry. Our Public Relations managers love how simple your paperwork is (both to fill out and to sign off) and our sales representatives (who get paid when we do) are big fans of your quick funding. Over the years we have found them asking us to send it through Pinnacle instead of someone else because of this and the fact that they like keeping business locally here in Arizona. Surprising to me, our customers have mentioned that they like working with a local company as well. It goes without saying that we would strongly recommend Pinnacle Finance to any business looking for a reputable finance company to help their business grow and to take care of their customers. Our customers like working with you and so do we !!! Scott founded Pinnacle Finance in 2006 and oversees all aspects of the business.
