Alliance Capital Vendor Services . . . What Will We Do For You?
- Serve as your dedicated partner in providing finance solutions for transactions primarily under $350,000
- Designate specialized professional to interact with you and your customers
- Create efficient processes through customized automation
- Incorporate a comprehensive lease training program to enhance your sales opportunities
Although we concentrate on transactions under $350,000, we will do the larger transaction to accommodate our vendors.
The designated team refers to a group of individuals from the president to customer service representatives that we think of as a ladder of people who will all interact at various levels of your organization. As a designated team, we will have a common objective to ensure goal congruity in meeting high quality service levels for your customers.
Customized automation takes Alliance processes and tailors components to meet the individual needs of the vendor.
Our Finance Training Program comes in a series of modules giving your sales representatives a competitive edge. Today, your sales staff is well versed in offering equipment solutions; our goal is to enhance their knowledge in providing finance solutions so that they can be a Total Sales Representative.
What Issues and Trends Are You Facing in Your Market Today?
- Competition for market share continues
- Shorter sales cycle becomes a necessity
- Margin erosion continues
- Sell more products and services at higher margins
- Manage customer base
- Give customers opportunity to leverage equipment purchase
- Pre-determine the product life-cycle cost of ownership
- Use lessor technology to maximize financial options
- Alternative to paying cash
For a managed customer base, you control your customer by having them on a finance agreement. A good visual example may be if a customer pays cash, it is the same as putting a “For Sale” sign around their neck advertising one customer for sale. The customer is open to competitors and not controlled by your sales staff.
Giving customers opportunity to leverage equipment purchase simply refers to maximizing their return on an investment dollar.
Use our technology to maximize financial options – Essentially customers today want to know immediately what it takes to upgrade or add-on equipment. Technology plays a critical role to provide the customer information, which results in the superior service, and information about their capital expenditures.

Vendor Alliance Proposal describes the dynamics of our finance program including the process and other program details.
Vendor Program Components are those elements of the finance program, which the vendor has to select in order to tailor the financing program. These components include what finance products to offer and pricing matrix.
Vendor Program Agreement (VPA) is ACC’s easy and understandable agreement regarding the terms of the relationship. What is unique about our VPA is that it is a bilateral arrangement, which indicates promises and terms to be adhered to by both ACC and the vendor. It is not one way!
Launch date: In order to adequately prepare and introduce Alliance Capital’s vendor services program to the vendor sales representatives, the parties should agree on when to begin the program.
Rollout and Training: Alliance Capital will assist in the publicizing and initial training of utilizing financing within the vendor’s sales process. As previously mentioned, our finance training program includes a resource manual with user-friendly information which is accessible in providing answers to finanec-related issues.
