Your people are your best assets - make sure that you’ve given them the skills and knowledge needed to compete effectively in the marketplace.  For over 20 years, the Principles of Equipment Leasing and Finance Workshop has helped your sales force become more confident when meeting with potential customers, and given your operations staff a greater understanding of how the leasing and finance business works, and where their individual responsibilities fit into the workflow.

The virtual workshop features 3 interactive sessions, led by Gary Anderson - an industry veteran with more than 30 years of experience. Class size will be kept small to maximize student-instructor interaction and attention. Sessions will be held on Monday (4 hours), Wednesday (3 hours) and Friday (3 hours).

IMPORTANT!  Attendees must have an HP 12 C or 17 Bii Pro financial calculator (can be found in the App Store for iPhone or Android).

Participants who attend all 3 sessions and complete the quiz will be awarded a certificate of completion.

This workshop will be held using Zoom.
