As this market continues to yield great profits amid limited inventory, strong dealers continue to seek out incremental gains in F&I PVR. After all, when we’re selling for all the money on the front end, the next move is back end gains. 

Manually Typing the App Hinders F&I Ability to Sell

Dealer Principals observe their F&I Managers making product presentations while typing apps into RouteOne or Dealertrack(RO/DT), and ask our field force every day for tools and strategies to help F&I managers focus more on selling and less on busywork.

Stand Alone Credit App is a digital credit application that securely delivers full credit apps to your RO/DT. 

• No Paper. 
• No GLBA risk. 
• No manual typing. 
• No F&I Time Wasted. 

The App in your RO/DT sets F&I up to sell product, then get your deal submitted and approved in just a few keystrokes. 

No more typing while presenting, and looking over the customer’s shoulder at the line of other deals. None of us are rock stars when triple-tasking like this, we’re just not. 

Creating Smoother Flow into F&I Opens Managers Up to Sell More

Slow F&I processes cost your F&I managers. And it costs us Net Profit. Faster F&I processes open your F&I managers up to sell more.

• Apps In your RO/DT open F&I Managers up to perform pre-interviews and do tailored product presentations in the box. We all know this puts numbers on the board.
• Apps In your RO/DT decrease the amount of overall time that F&I managers spend per deal, speeding up your customer flow on a busy Saturday. Faster Flow = More Customers. 
• Apps in your RO/DT open up F&I manager’s time to do all the things that earn incremental dollars. Prospecting the Service Lane for VSC sales. Investing the time to flip a cash deals into a single pay lease. Giving away a deal at retention to get control over a credit union deal, to open up the ability to sell products. 
• Apps in your RO/DT remove a hurdle for approvals, tamping down the need for “spot delivering” unapproved deals. 

Making it Work on a Busy Saturday

They will then work in your account to create an “In Store CTA” that can be placed on signage, printed and on sales desks, we even have a dealership who has laminated them and placed them on the back of Sales Desk monitors.

These in-store Apps go directly to your RO/DT, no other system standing in the way of this in-store efficiency.

From a Process Standpoint, it’s the same as a Paper App – just no manual entry by F&I.
