$12.00 X 36Mos = $420.00per CPE + loan costs, fees...etc Sounds like to me you lost your good deal to the finance company. I understand that they may be a necessary evil, but I still say that you are far ahead in this game if you need to have something financed to go to your local bank, borrow the money there with all the added benefits of a much more sensible interest rate, you can pay out early and not pay any of the extra interest whereas with the leasing company you can pay out early - - but you still pay all their interest so the point is moot.

Re: [WISPA] Canopy buying group prices
Hi, The leases I am doing are less than 10% interest. Any bank that will do a corporate only loan is going to be the same rate. Also, there are no additional loan costs, fees, etc and I make no up front payments. I don't even make the first payment for 30 days after I get the equipment... by then I have at least 50% of the units installed, so the additional revenue is paying the new lease payment. :) The $12 per CPE was a high number my last lease was actually $10.80 per CPE. So, $10.80 x 36 = $388.80. However, the monthly revenue is what we look at... my minimum plan is $40 per month with a $99 install. The install covers the truck roll, and I make $29 per new customer starting from day 1. How else is anyone competing with cable and DSL? We are doing 100+ installs per month in an area with 250,000 total population (spread out over 15,000 square miles). It's all about how much money is left at the end of the month. ;) Travis Microserv Mac Dearman wrote: $12.00 X 36Mos = $420.00per CPE + loan costs, fees...etc Sounds like to me you lost your good deal to the finance company.

Fact is I've done group buys with high-end equipment before - it wasn't difficult at all. If you are comparing a public distributor to a closed membership buying club, you aren't comparing apples to apples. I sure as hell don't want to create a distributor organization. However, as our discussion continues, I might be willing to send Jim, George, Brian or whomever offers a group buy $2600 for 10 Canopy SMs if the buy is 100 units and we're all lined up. I don't need support, training, stocking, any of the services that distributors offer. Frankly, I don't need my distributor under cutting me to sell direct to customers. You have your pros and cons for going to distributors for *everything*. Certainly what's being discussed here isn't pretending to create a distributor that has *everything*.. Frankly I think the board with the exception of myself, uniformly doesn't support group buys. The buyers create the relatonship for the purpose of the buy, it ends when the product is delivered.
