We know that on a busy Saturday, we often make customers wait more than 15+ minutes to get a first pencil after the test drive when their buying temperature is at its peak. That’s 15 minutes to talk themselves out of the deal and in many cases leave. Joe St. John has worked with dealerships nationwide and has uncovered a few strategies that enable then to eliminate the bottlenecks that plague the sales process, lock in deals faster, and make more profit. Check out Joe's article on 3 strategies that are enabling dealers to do this: https://lnkd.in/ewfvde8M

According to a recent study, concerns about profitability and pricing pressure continue to rise, indicating that dealers feel more pressure to lower prices. At AutoFi, we’re turning these challenges into profit opportunities. In Q3, our most engaged dealers experienced a back-end PVR increase of 19% on AutoFi deals, with dealers generating $765 more back-end PVR on AutoFi deals vs. non- AutoFi deals, up from $641 earlier in the year. AutoFi helps dealers sell smarter, not harder—on your dealership website and, now, in your showroom, too. Set up time with us to learn more at AutoFi.com

Deals don’t come into the showroom sequentially one by one. They come in waves! One moment, the dealership is empty, and the next moment you are drowning in customers. On busy Saturdays, we typically have a few managers working deals, bidding a trade, getting approvals, etc. If you’re the unlucky salesperson that is 3rd or 4th in line to get numbers from a manager, it can take over 15 minutes to get a first pencil. By then, the customer's buying temperature starts to drop, and we risk losing the deal or sacrificing profits just to keep them. THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY! With AutoFi’s all-new showroom solution, your sales team can immediately present numbers when a customer’s buying temperature is at its peak with the management guardrails to eliminate mistakes and protect profit.
