Industry Summit 2017 (Sept. 11-14) is quickly approaching. American Financial & Automotive Services' John Vecchioni, the conference’s master of ceremonies, explains why it’s the premier event in the F&I industry.
In 2017’s opening quarter, auto loan balances registered single-digit growth for the first time in four years. F&I trainers Tony Dupaquier and Shaka Dyson will translate what the trends mean to the F&I office. They'll also offer strategies for uncovering a finance source’s appetite and training the desk on proper deal structure.
Attendees who register by midnight this Friday, Aug. 18, will enjoy a $100 discount on a full-conference pass. Industry Summit is co-located with The Best Training Day Ever and includes F&I Think Tank, the Special Finance Conference, Compliance Summit, and Automotive Compliance Specialist certification by Automotive Compliance Education.
