Why?

The power of the CEE Asset Management Program is that CEE is skilled on how best to sell your assets in the secondary market.

Ask yourself if you have or even want to exert the resources to prepare, demonstrate, market, and ship your equipment from your facility floor?

Remember buyers are like you, they will want to know that they are getting a good piece of equipment before they are ready to pay a fair price for the asset. Buyers have lots of questions and that means a drain on your time. Without this information, their purchase risk is much higher and thus their offer will be much lower.

Furthermore, is your company ready to deal with issues like storage, demonstration on your floor, credit risk, rigging/shipping, and post-sale issues?

In the Asset Management Program, CEE will handle the entire pre-sale process, transaction and post-sale process. You are paid in full prior to shipment to a buyer without any effort from you or your staff.

How does it work?

The process starts by simply contacting CEE. CEE will ask you to provide a list of your equipment for sale. A CEE sales representative will discuss your particular needs and then provide you a detailed proposal with a consignment contract.

Our contract will detail all the particulars of the agreement including duration, sales price, fees, commission, legal, insurance, and contingencies.

Upon your approval, CEE can assist with all the arrangements to get your equipment to CEE in the best and safest manner. CEE will then provide you an arrival report and inventory your equipment into our sales engine. Larger consignment clients can expect full access to our client pages, which will provide and track information about your assets online.

CEE will notify you of sold equipment and pay you in full prior to shipment.

Expect regular updates on your equipment's marketability and status. CEE can even provide guarantees, if your asset does not sell in the contractual duration.

What about auction or cash offers?

Many clients are looking for the best return on their assets, but want the convenience of an immediate sale (auction, sealed bid, cash offer). These are all fine ways to sell assets, but will not offer the best return. With these immediate sale methods, there is considerable risk for the buyer. The sellers return WILL reflect this risk.

With asset management, the buyer gets a full demonstration and access to technical assistance to reduce their risk. We always ask that you put yourself in the buyers shoes.

For example in terms of an auction, is it easy for you to get an undetermined amount of funds to purchase an asset that you have limited knowledge of its condition? Would you even want to take the career risk to do so?

That's why most immediate buyers are secondary market experts that intend on reselling the asset. Your best return is finding qualified end users who have the assurance that they are buying quality equipment. Asset Management will give you your best possible return, minimize your efforts, and get the equipment out of your way. Its a win-win and a hasle free experience.
