What I did was to pick out one architect, one engineer, one home builder, one finance person, one tech person, you get my drift right? From there whenever I get someone that is asking for an architect Iwill then post it for architect who is in my NJ shore leads group. The others will do the same for maybe a copier or IT lead.

I try to make sure there are none, but there are times when many slip through. I'll try and do a better job, as far as grammar.... well, that's another story.

I read this thread with great interest but am doing pretty much everything already listed. My problem is in finding a customer who NEEDS a new solution. Our Savin line (Ricoh) do not wear out! Our dealer supports our machines for as long as we can get parts so I have equipment which has been in the field for 8-10 years and can't get them to upgrade. Why should they? If it ain't broke! Then there is no loyalty anymore and when some decide to buy new they go the cheapo route and get a Kyocera

What are the best options to getting around an "evergreen" clause in a prospects lease contract? Specifically, if the clause renews the contract for 1 full year & they missed the timeframe to provide written notice to cancel? Is the prospect obligated to make every payment? Is there a way for me to win the business without having to refinance that full year of "evergreen" payments into the new lease? Your input would be appreciated. --Garrett
