Auto Dealers: Remote Deposit Capture Helps

Posted by Brandon Weaver | Fri, Apr 11, 2014 @ 10:00 AM

auto salesBruce Wayne did not buy the Batmobile with a credit card. Almost no one can buy a vehicle with a credit card, in fact, unless their limit is sky-high or they don’t need to worry about exorbitant interest rates.

Batman succeeds by getting the bad guy, but your success is measured by hitting monthly quotas. You do it by moving inventory off the lot, increasing vehicle turnover in parts and service, and maximizing profits and minimizing risk. You do it for your business and for yourself – especially if you have a family and kids who will need you to pay their college tuition.

Sometimes it seems like your job is all about the sales, finance, and service department managers reporting to you. You’re constantly faced with a plethora of challenges while what you really need to do is appeal to many target markets. This is no easy task if your sales staff has to fight the stigma that car salespersons are too pushy. If you want to stop that stereotype in its tracks, check out this guide and learn nine popular scripts to deflate that unfair judgment.

Besides helping your sales staff - more on that in a moment - your job is also about reporting to an owner, regional or district manager who always asks, “What are you doing to increase sales?”

Quite possibly the most important demographic coming into the market is the millennials (18-34 years old) because they’re:

  • Fresh out of school and looking to trade in a vehicle
  • Interested in impressing their friends with the newest technology like Bluetooth, touch-button starts, and sunroofs
  • Likely to need help financing a big ticket purchase

Remote Deposit Capture Auto DealersYour dealership can offer cash back deals, low financing, and incentives to get people to test drive your stock. But what about offering different payment options?
