Leap unveils the Universal Credit Application on Leap SalesPro, revolutionizing contractor financing and paving the way for faster sales and increased customer satisfaction. As one of the first in-home sales tools to bring this capability to market, Leap enables contractors to offer homeowners seamless and efficient financing options that enhance the overall customer experience.
The Universal Credit Application modernizes the outdated financing process where contractors previously had to complete separate applications for each lender, often leading to rejected loans and wasted time due to the tedious re-entry of information. This fragmented process not only created delays but also led to lost sales, as homeowners became frustrated with the complexity and repetition of applications.
With the Universal Credit Application, contractors now fill out one single form for multiple lenders, eliminating the need for redundant data entry and reducing the chances of errors. By streamlining the process and improving loan approval rates, it reduces friction in the financing funnel, allowing contractors to close deals faster, enhance customer satisfaction, and ultimately increase sales.
Why Leap Built the Universal Credit Application
Contractors who do not offer financing solutions risk losing business to competitors who do. By simplifying the financing process, Leap helps contractors take advantage of significant benefits, including a 18% increase in close rates and a 30% boost in job size. Recognizing the challenges contractors face, we are committed to making financing easier and more accessible.
