Adrian Anania nearly lost his F&I job by drowning in contracts instead of focusing on what actually moves deals. He recommends spending five minutes after each sale noting what worked, reviewing patterns every ten deals, and tweaking your script one word at a time to see what sticks.

If you're new in the box, stop studying the contracts. That's not the part that's gonna save you. I almost got fired in my first 6 months on the job because nobody trained me. They handed me a stack of contracts and threw me in on a Saturday. So I know what the first 90 days feels like. I've coached at more than 200 dealerships since, and here's what every manager gets backwards. They think the job is knowing the products. It isn't. The product knowledge is the easy part. The job is the loop you run on yourself. After every deal, spend 5 minutes writing what worked and what didn't. That habit compresses years of pattern recognition into months. Then reassess every 10 deals. One deal is simply noise. Ten is the signal. And change one word at a time, never the whole script. You won't know what worked if you change 10 things at once. Save this if you're new in the box.
