Associate Membership Discounts

As I've said before, the facts are very clear. 8 of 10 organizations lease to one degree or another, and 4 out of every 10 leases miss their option dates and go into automatic renewal, or as the industry calls it, overhold. This is an added cost lessees face. But the good news is, they don't have to.
Overholds can be eliminated with a $119.95 annual subscription to TrackMyLease. At this rate, an organization with ten leases pays a paltry $12.00 per lease per year ... very cheap insurance if you ask me. Is it just me, or are some organizations saying they don't care about saving their members money wherever they can?

One large Canadian Organization's rep. told me, " ... I will keep this (TrackMyLease) on file, though we are not in a position to proceed with an offer to our members at this point." Please keep in mind the notice to their members is free. With TrackMyLease, their members, could eliminate overholds altogether!
FYI, this organization's code of ethics includes, "Optimizing the use of resources for which they are responsible, so as to provide the maximum benefit to their employers."

Instead of helping its membership to save on equipment leasing costs, this organization appears to be more interested in selling sponsorships.

I just don't get it. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are wasted every year just on automatic lease renewals alone. Why don't organizations want their members to have this software?

Am I wrong? Let me know.
