There's a customer type that most F&I managers have the most difficult time connecting with, and that buying type, it's a pragmatic buyer. They are the ones who are the most assertive and want to be in control, and they hate to feel like they're being sold. You need to stop trying to lead them because most F&I managers start to pile on more and more information when a customer resists. When you have a pragmatic buyer across from you, you do one thing. You need to let them lead and you need to give them a win in the first 30 seconds they interact with you. When you do that, and they feel like they're in control, you can guide them anywhere. And if you're having difficulty with these kind of buying styles, comment styles and I'll send you all the different buyer types that you can always connect with and never miss another.
