Here's what a fill-in F&I specialist brings to the table.
Adaptability
Our F&I specialists adapt to the rushed nature of their service and that's being available when the call comes in. They get to the dealership as quickly as they can. And the schedule requires flexibility. The fill-in is ready to work a few hours, several days, and more.
Convenience
Under the worst circumstances, your F&I operator doesn't show and suddenly you're shuffling staff or searching for trained personnel on short notice. Under the best circumstances, you call us. Once given the necessary information, we get the situation taken care of as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Professionalism
The Fill-In F&I Specialist promises to show up with leadership, sales, and negotiation skills, using adept analytical concepts to find the best deals to fit a financial situation.
Experience
When your F&I Specialist is out, you need a substitute with experience in warranty programs, car sales, auto financing, and general finance. As much of the work is grounded in management, you get a background in that field as well.
Each dealership is unique and holds critical knowledge about the community, customers, and their needs. Your F&I manager is a big part of that operation.
