AE Launches New Blog by Rick McCormick

TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. — Agent Entrepreneur announced the launch of “F&I Success,” a new blog authored by Rick McCormick, national account development manager for Reahard & Associates. The twice-monthly blog will focus on F&I training and best practices for independent general agents.

“Agents are asking for more advice on building and maintaining productive F&I development programs, and we are all too happy to oblige,” said Kate Spatafora, associate publisher of AE and P&A magazines. “Rick brings countless hours of F&I training and consulting and a genuine passion for helping customers to his writing, and we are proud to have him on board.”

A nationally recognized F&I trainer and ordained minister, McCormick has made numerous appearances at Agent Summit and Industry Summit and contributed articles to Agent Entrepreneur, F&I and Showroom and Auto Dealer Today, among other industry publications.

“There has never been a time when the relationship between the agent and the dealer has been more critical,” McCormick said. “Agents are uniquely positioned to provide training options for their dealers that will lead to higher profits and customer satisfaction levels simultaneously. I count this as a privilege to speak directly to the agent community to help them help their dealers!”

The first entry in the “F&I Success” blog will appear Monday, Nov. 7, at ae-emagazine.com. To catch all the latest news and features for independent general agents, including “F&I Success,” click here to get your free qualified subscription to Agent Entrepreneur magazine and monthly enewsletter.
