Innovation Financial Services

At Innovation Financial Services, we believe in the power of a growth mindset. Today, during our team meeting, we engaged in a powerful activity discussing our non-negotiables. Each team member identified their own non-negotiables for work and personal life in a breakout session and later shared them with the group. This exercise not only helps us grow professionally but also personally. We're committed to holding each other accountable and will follow up on our progress. Proud of our team's dedication to continuous improvement! #GrowthMindset #TeamWork #ContinuousImprovement

Ever wondered what the secret sauce to achieving greatness is? Here’s a little insight from Delano Palmer: Think about it. It’s not just about the big, flashy moments. It’s the consistent, day-to-day actions that truly drive success. Whether it’s sales, finance, or customer service, every department plays a crucial role. At Innovation Financial Services, we believe in the power of structure and consistency. Why is this important? Because that structure creates a process, and that process yields results. Our goal is to act as coaches, helping to maintain and build these processes over time. The outcome? Consistent excellence and outstanding performance across the board. We've seen it firsthand—dealerships that embrace these daily rituals see remarkable improvements in their performance metrics. Whether it's optimizing service drive retention or enhancing sales efficiency, our training programs are designed to address the specific needs of each dealership. And the best part? For our partners, this training comes at no additional cost. It's our way of ensuring that our collaboration drives tangible results and long-term success. #ifs #finance #success #AutomotiveLeadership #training

Because a well-trained team delivers better customer service, higher sales volume, and greater satisfaction. So, what's the secret to a successful dealership?

We’ve got an exciting week, and I wanted to share something incredible we’re working on with one of our amazing RV clients – installing Detected GPS. This game-changing technology offers real-time tracking and stolen vehicle recovery. Here’s the kicker – this program is consumer-funded meaning Dealerships can sell this policy through their F&I departments, providing added value with stolen vehicle recovery services. It's a win-win situation—enhancing security and creating a new revenue stream. Sounds exciting right? For more information, feel free to reach out to me at (413) 454-4975 and i’ll be more than happy to help. #InnovationFinancialServices #DetectedGPS #DealershipSolutions #InventoryManagement
