Thanks for the honor of requesting me into your friends network. Possibly with the addition of friends such as yourself we can make a positive difference in the automotive environment through our desire to instill integrity.
Thanks Fred!
I started in finance when loans were tough! I learned early on how to make friends with underwriters and 'know" what they were looking for most. Garbage in---Garbage out! But, if you know your underwriters and know how to put a loan together with ALL supporting documentation and it MAKES SENSE...you can get through loans that others either can't or won't spend the time to do! Finance I know...cars....I can learn :-)
Hi Fred!
I am changing careers from over 15 years of home financing to auto financing. I never considered it [just] a sales position because it is always so much more than that.
I have always been the friend, and trusted advisor, that my customers could come to and rely on.
I have always built relationships and the sales followed.
The industry may be changing, but the customers basic needs really don't. They need someone knowlegable with whom they can trust!
I am taking a big leap of faith by changing careers, but I am hoping that I can bring everything I have learned into the automotive financing industry and grow with in this field.
Hi Fred,
I am a direct mail advertiser who has attempted to stress to dealers the importance to service after the sale unfortunately it seems most dealers think of service as a necessary evil. To think of service advertising as an expense and not an investment, as it is for sales, baffles me, do you have any insight?
Thanks for the friend invite Fred! I appreciate your recent comments on the 'Motivation Station' wall - strong leadership written all over them! I haven't checked your website out yet, are you a sales trainer? Specific to auto?
