We need to. Last month we had a meeting because our per copy income is down. It is my opinion that it is at least partiallly a result of the ridiculous amount of time that elapses between when a customer agrees to buy, and the time they sit down in my office. For many reasons.... Mostly though, that is because they have "come out of the ether."

So, i have been bringing them in as soon as i have reviewed the deal, and do the 15-20 minutes of preparations (loading the info into the computer, calling it in to the bank, preparing the menu of aftersale items, issuing the T Tag and service rewards card, logging same, resolving identity verification red flags, noting missing items like trade titles etc, printing up the documents, et fucking cetera) with them at my desk instead of out in the showroom cooling their heels and wondering what the ever living fuck is taking me so long.

Monday, they decided that finance should issue the inspection stickers for new cars now.

I'd like to rent out about 20 hours of my job every week. Someone want my unpaid hours?

My son Lee got promoted to finance while still selling cars. I'm amazed at the load of paperwork that comes with each card when you figure in loan, insurance, and extended warranties.

is he covering the day off of the F&I manager or something? That's how I got my foot in the door. The knowledge he gains will help him in selling.... as long as he doesn't give the customer TOO much information and cause analysis paralysis....!

tell him congrats from me... and if he ever gets stuck or needs advice, or how to do NJ tags or leases or whatever... to give me a holla. Where's he working?

Sure, this is how productivity increases.

Sadly, this method is susceptible to the Peter Principle just as individuals are. Keep adding more until it breaks.
