One Simple Way F&I Managers Can Be Successful Without Lifting a Finger
Undoubtedly, F&I managers are essential to the success of the dealership. While their primary task is to get deals financed, they must also diligently work to maximize profitability and ensure all of the practices are in compliance.
In the midst of offering all of these services, they must also make sure their customers are happy. Needless to say, the responsibilities of an F&I manager can be overwhelming.
One of the best ways for F&I managers to be successful is to sell more extended service contracts by offering IPP (Installment Payment Plan) solutions to their customers.
What Do Your Customers Want?
Sounds cliche, but customers want it all, and they want it their way. F&I managers often lose two different types of customers when selling service contracts:
- Customers who do not know about all of the purchase options available
- Customers who are not willing or are unable to make the full payment
IPPs solve both of these problems by offering payment options for Vehicle Service Contracts (VSCs), with flexible terms based on the customer’s individual needs.
Any of your dealership’s customers can be eligible for an IPP. And best of all, a concierge assists the customer following the sale and follows through on each and every transaction. F&I managers will be freed up for other tasks and administrative costs are cut—all of which increase your dealership’s bottom line.
