TIMES HAVE CHANGE! And in the car busness every custmor counts. Now you can turn a custmor that can't buy to a custmor that can! In a matter of 3 month's. This program is the best thing out there in todays market. Jim's program helps dealers incress there C.R.M./custmor loyalty/and most of all GROSS. 50% of the people that walk through your doors have credit problems. And most of them that think thay can't buy can buy.Dealers are using this program all over the reagon and having a lot of sussces. His whole package is a low coast no brainer. Do your self a faver and chack out his website atwww.rcpdealer.com and do let me know what you guy's and gal's think. I think hes on to something big and why not offer your custmors something that will bring them back in the dealership along with his frend and famely. Everyone want's to inprove there credit right! Well this is the answer.Not onely are you helping them inprove there credit your getting a custmor for life.Jim will come to your dealership and train your sales staff on how to work his program and sell 100+ cars in a matter of 6-12 months.Again please check out the website and let me know what you think. It is something new and different and it's working! And Jack love the new corner!

Hi Jack a pleasure to join your platform. I hope to add insight and share some interesting news regarding finance insurance sales and management. I provide not only finance & insurance training but sales and sales management training. I know without all managers on the same page its very difficult to nearly impossible to be consistent in our practices and reach a level of high performance.

I challenge those managers to debate my view point. I want to hear from you. Does it matter if the sales department is in sync with the finance department? Why and why not? Does "box closing" and full disclosure "menu selling" go hand in hand? Why is it so difficult to change our practices?
