F&I Back-End: Make More on Every Unit Sold
In a changing marketplace where unit sales are on the decline, optimizing per-unit gross profits is increasingly important. Top dealers are financing 70%+ of unit sales. Ideally, to maximize on F&I opportunities, there should be someone in-house focusing on F&I sales.
Offer a Broad Selection of F&I Products
Effective Pricing Strategies
Customer Education
Optimizing F&I gross profit also hinges on having the right pricing strategy. While competitive pricing is important, setting prices too low can reduce the perceived value of the product. Finding the right balance is key. Conduct thorough market research, analyze competitor pricing, and evaluate the worth of your offerings to establish the best pricing structure. Collaborate with your F&I vendors to ensure that your products remain both affordable to customers and profitable for your dealership.
Offering customers a wide variety of F&I products—such as extended warranties, gap insurance, roadside assistance, and tire and wheel protection—can significantly improve your chances of boosting gross profit. A diverse product range gives customers the flexibility to personalize their purchase according to their unique needs, while opening up opportunities for high-margin add-ons.
Having the right products is only part of the equation; educating customers on the benefits of F&I products is just as critical. Make sure your sales and F&I teams are knowledgeable and prepared to effectively communicate the value these products offer in protecting a customer’s investment. By showcasing how F&I products provide peace of mind, financial security, and enhanced protection for their purchase, you empower customers to make informed decisions and choose the products that best suit their needs.
