IFS TEAM HAS HIJACKED STEVEN’S PAGE! Yup, the IFS team pulled off the ultimate takeover to wish our amazing CEO, Steven Whitlock, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You’ve been an incredible boss, Steven, and today, it’s our turn to appreciate you! We couldn’t let this day slide without wishing you the happiest birthday from all of us. You’re not just our President, you’re the one who inspires us every day to be better, think bigger, and keep chasing what matters, you’ve made IFS not just a great company, but a place we all genuinely enjoy being a part of. Whether it’s pushing us to be our best or cracking jokes that keep the office buzzing, you’ve made an impact on each of us – and we wouldn’t want it any other way. So, here’s to you, Steven! 🥂 Thank you for being the kind of leader we can always count on and for making IFS the amazing place it is. We hope your birthday is as legendary as you are. And don’t worry, Steven, we promise we didn’t mess with your LinkedIn connections, haha!

I wanted to take a minute to send a big shoutout to Portfolio, one of our trusted admin partners for over 12 years now. These guys truly set themselves apart with everything from service contracts to tire and wheel, key replacement, dent and ding, and everything in between – they’ve got it all. And their reinsurance structures? One of the best I’ve seen in my career. And here’s the best part: Portfolio is sponsoring our night out during Principles of Finance University happening October 15th-17th! We’re taking everyone to Federal American Grill for an epic dinner! If you haven’t booked your spot yet, now’s your chance! Click the link below, or feel free to reach out if you want to know more.

Sometimes the best advice is the simplest – and Shane nailed it with this one! This couldn’t be more true. Whether in business or life, it’s those moments when we’re willing to dig deep, take on the challenges that others avoid, and push through the tough spots that truly set us apart. Success isn’t about shortcuts – it’s about the willingness to do the hard work and stand out because of it. Shane’s words are a reminder that growth and value are found outside the comfort zone, and that’s where we need to be if we want to reach new heights. At the end of the day, it’s about stepping up when others step back, and that’s where real progress is made. The question is, are you ready to take that step? #leadership #innovationfinancialservices

As we step into October, Mental Health Awareness Month, I can’t think of a better time to highlight a cause that’s especially close to our hearts here at IFS: Camp Hope. For those who don’t know, Camp Hope is a place where veterans struggling with combat-related PTSD can find a safe space, community, and the support they deserve. It’s more than just a program or a facility – it’s a second chance for many of our nation’s heroes, a place where they can begin to heal, reconnect with themselves, and find hope again. Supporting Camp Hope is our way of saying: You’re not alone. We’re here, and we believe in your strength and your journey to recovery. It’s about offering a hand to those who’ve given everything for us, helping them find peace, purpose, and a community that understands. Every time we visit Camp Hope, we’re reminded of the incredible resilience these veterans show, even when the days are tough. We hear their stories, share a meal, and see firsthand how this place is making a real difference in their lives. It’s moments like these that remind us why we’re committed to this cause – because the work they do at Camp Hope is changing lives, and we’re honored to be a part of it. So, if you’ve ever wondered why Camp Hope is such a big deal to us at IFS, it’s simple: It’s about being there for those who’ve always been there for us. And we’ll continue to stand with them every step of the way. #innovationfinancialservices #veterans #camphope

Did you know Warranty Forever could be the added advantage that makes your dealership stand out in a crowded market? Imagine this: A customer walks into your dealership, knowing that by purchasing a vehicle from you, they’re getting something no other dealership in the area can offer – Warranty Forever. Here’s how it works: when a customer buys a vehicle with Warranty Forever at your dealership, they’re getting full coverage for parts and labor at any ASE-certified facility, anywhere in the country. Whether your customer is down the street or across the country, they just hand over their keys, and we handle the rest. No extra costs, no hassle. It’s 100% coverage at the dealership’s posted retail rate. Now, think about the peace of mind that gives your customers – no matter where they are, they know their vehicle is covered. And now, think about what that does for your dealership. Offering Warranty Forever doesn’t just give your customers protection – it makes your dealership the go-to choice. Why? Because you’re offering something your competitors can’t. And the best part? Warranty Forever is exclusive to one dealership or dealer group per market. So, would you rather be the dealership offering this unbeatable lifetime coverage, or the one competing against it? In today’s market, standing out is everything. With Warranty Forever, you’re not just selling a vehicle – you’re selling the promise of long-term security and customer loyalty. And that’s a competitive edge that’s hard to beat.
