One of our F&I managers went from 40% VSC pen to over 65%, and he didn't change his pitch. I'm going to tell you exactly how he did it. He simply moved the order in which he delivered the information. He moved his needs awareness all the way out to the showroom floor at the end of his client survey, and it was a review of the warranty. It wasn't breaking the vehicle. When you do that early on and you go over the common responsibilities every owner has, by the time the menu arrives, they pull themselves to your solution. You're able to spend more time on your service agreement presentation, increase your penetration, When you combine that week over week, month over month, that's where you get to numbers north of 65% on your penetration. Save this so you never forget how to make that adjustment to increase your penetration today.
