On today's showcase, we highlight financing and how to use it. Rich has talked about financing before, and he calls it a contractor's "secret weapon" for getting higher closing ratios and higher average sale amounts. If you're not already on the finance train before listening to this episode, you will be afterward. And by on the train, I mean offering financing every single time you set foot in a prospect;s house, up front, talking in terms of monthly payments from the first second you open your mouth. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-level-10-contractor-daily-podcast-1184502/episodes/2498-topic-showcase-financing/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-level-10-contractor-daily-podcast-1184502/2498-topic-showcase-financing.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
