So, you're interested in working with Bluestone. What happens next?
To ensure you get the most out of our partnership, we recommend a 3-step process that ensures you and your team get what you need from us, and we can be sure our service is right for your business.
Already got a finance provider? Not a problem. We don't expect you to stop working with other finance providers straight away. We are more than happy to work alongside them for a trial period, as long as you give us opportunities to demonstrate the quality of our service.
We need to meet with you to find out as much as we can about your business. This includes learning about your customers, how you operate, your sales strategy, goals and challenges, and what we can do to support you. We can either meet at your place, ours, or virtually - whatever works best.

Your account manager will meet your sales team, and any other team members you'd like them to, to provide bespoke training and coaching sessions.
These sessions will teach them not just how to use the Bluestone Portal, but also how to explain the benefits of choosing finance as a payment option to the customer.
It's also important for your team to understand the benefits of offering finance for your business, and if a commission structure is agreed, how they can benefit.
For example, giving customers the option to spread the cost of their project over time, rather than requesting payment upfront, can overcome their cost objections - but your business will be paid in full.
Finance can also unlock significant tax benefits for the customer and keeps more working capital in their business. Giving customers this information enhances your customer service levels and can deepen your relationship with them.
Successful partnerships take time to refine and perfect, which is why it's important to us that we keep revisiting how we work together.
We can also return to provide refresher training or host Q&A sessions with your team if needed.
Regular meetings, reviews, and transparent feedback will enable us to provide a service that benefits your business, your team, and your customers.
