Adrian Anania shows F&I managers how one question, "Did you work the deal?", exposes what's breaking in your sales process. He maps six checkpoints from client survey to lender call that separate closed deals from missed ones.

You can diagnose your entire F&I process with just one question. Are you ready? Did you work the deal? Now, when I say that, what do I mean? You need to every single time create a feedback loop of your entire process. Oftentimes when a finance manager tells me the deal didn't quite work out or was a quote, bad deal, it's because they skipped steps. They didn't have a feedback loop to assess whether they did everything completely. Did you do your client survey? Did you do your needs awareness? Did you bring them to solution awareness? Where did you implement your consequence? And lastly, when did you introduce your pillars? Without those things, you'll never know if you worked the deal completely. And ultimately, did you call the lender after the deal was done to get everything bought? So make sure every single time that you're doing this feedback loop so you never miss a deal again. Save this and ask yourself that question every single week.
