Selling financing and insurance is an important part of the business for automotive retailers. Yet, the biggest complaint from customers is how long it takes to buy a car. They don’t like getting handed off to yet another person as part of the sales process. Can retailers sell financing and insurance without a dedicated F&I person? This show tackles both sides of the issue.
