Marlin Business Services Corp. recently held its annual Customer Advisory Council meeting at its office in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. The meeting was attended by industry leaders in the office technology sector.

The purpose of Marlin's annual Customer Advisory Council meeting is to discuss current business challenges and opportunities facing the commercial equipment industry and to help Marlin shape its future business strategies and product offerings. Marlin has been hosting these meetings since 2009.

"For Marlin to continue on its path of accelerated growth, we must stay focused on our customers," said Marlin's Chief Sales Officer Ed Siciliano. "The advisory council has proven to be more valuable each year. We truly appreciate the insights and feedback that we receive from our advisory members."

"Being an active member of Marlin's Customer Advisory Council has been exceptionally rewarding for me and very beneficial for us at Advanced Business Equipment. By staying informed of Marlin's business plan and direction, we are able to move positively toward our company's goals as they pertain to financing equipment," commented attendee Stan Pilok of Advanced Business Equipment in Allentown, Pa. "We have a choice, and we often choose Marlin because they've shown that they care about us as dealers. They invite us to actually help advise. Thanks for the opportunity, Marlin."

Marlin plans to hold its next Customer Advisory Council in May 2013.
