I have noticed our department is seeing a lot of contract requests for the same deal. From experience I have noticed that by asking the merchant if they are currently working with any other brokerages or lenders , allows for you to understand if you need to worry about being competitive when pricing your deal.

Any other pointers to help be more competitive ?

Perhaps go into every deal with the mindset that you are in a competition. In every interaction with the merchant show your best, be your best, and give your best... And may the best man win!

Thank you for your reply. Any other views from others would be much appreciated?

Give a range of options.
1.30 buy rate, 100 payments, max upsell of 15..... is kinda limiting.
What if it was a longer term?
What if it was a shorter term?

I actually really like Anthony's method at Fundry, but it won't work for all merchants: Buy rate with the daily payment, and then I get to choose the sell rate, but that affects the length of the term, rather than the daily amount paid.

Is par doing first contract in or in house exclusives?

If the deal is a newly generated opportunity than yes but if it is an existing customer of Par through another ISO your submission would be passed up on due to being an existing customer.
