WEBINAR RECORDING - Supercharge Your PVR Without Impacting the Customer’s Budget


Did you know that 80% of your customers are paying too much for car insurance and that the average savings are $63 per month? Additionally, 4 out of 5 car buyers would use that cost savings in more F&I products or a nicer vehicle. 

With COVID, the economic environment has changed overnight. Customer budgets have become tighter and dealerships are working harder than ever to sell each car.

In this webinar, we had a great discussion with Mike Burgiss, a pioneer of digital retailing. He showed us how auto insurance can help you sell more cars and increase your F&I profit, all while benefiting your customers and creating a more streamlined experience for them. He also talked about how leading dealers have updated their processes to add insurance, and how to assess your own dealership to see if it’s the right fit for you.

Thanks for allowing us to host this discussion.  We know sourcing and managing preowned inventory in the current environment is frustrating and the strategies discussed in this webinar are not easily implemented or executed.  However, consider the costs and risk associated with buying from auction.  Spend the time effort and money in your processes and people at the dealership and source more inventory from the curb or non auction sources and you will be a much healthier dealer.  Feel free to reach out to me directly if you would like to discuss in more details any of the recommendations or topics we covered in this video.  I enjoy talking process and people.
