The challenges of supply and COVID will eventually end but the one consistent goal for dealers will always remain - maximize profitability per vehicle. However, with more and more F&I options available to customers outside of the dealer, achieving this maximum is increasingly becoming more difficult. A necessary approach is getting the customer to see the value in a relatively inexpensive option and then being able to easily upgrade using scalability options that are difficult for the customer to turn down. This approach works particularly well when these options are only available through the dealership. Learn how offering new, unique and necessary technology will not only increase profitability but customer appreciation as well.
Key Takeaways:
Scalability is extremely easy and profitable to implement with the right product
"Smash & Grabs" are at an epidemic level and ONLY the dealer can provide a simple cost effective solution
