Financing The Smart Way with Josh Penman of American Financial Partners – Episode 14

Financing The Smart Way with Josh Penman of American Financial Partners

Go into your local or national bank and ask them about financing a new spray foam rig and be prepared to get a blank stare. That’s why each week the R-Value podcast brings in experts in the industry to give you the most specialized information around.

This week is no different. Travis, Don and Aaron welcome Josh Penman, National Business Development Manager for American Financial Partners (AFP). Josh works with new and existing businesses to meet their financial needs, and the most importantly, he knows the industry. AFP offers up to 100% financing on terms up to seven years.

Josh shares his experience and guidance on what type of equipment can be financed, the best time to finance, how to get the best rates, how quickly you can get approved, and what financing looks like right now as we look forward to the recovery post-COVID-19. Trade in blank stares for someone who cares.

Get To The Next Level with Spray Foam Advisor

As always, you are in for another episode packed with valuable information. Today, Travis, Don and Aaron welcome Robert Naini, of Spray Foam Advisor. His company provides information for SPF business owners, salespeople, applicators, and distributors, with the goal to improve efficiency and generate more profit through their training and learning techniques.

Listen to this wide-ranging conversation about the shortage of skilled labor. The shortage can effect cost, efficiency and in the long-term, be a huge drag on the entire industry. The challenge is how to avoid this shortage and Robert discusses how recruiting, education, a focus on retention and investing in people can do just that. A key is to break out of the old mindset that the only “good jobs” are ones that require a college degree, and show younger people the value of having a job in industry.
