SMART Payment Plan Launches '$10,000 Menu Challenge'
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — SMART Payment Plan, a nationwide bill payment service and provider of F&I software and sales solutions, has released its “Protection Selector” menu. To promote the new menu, SMART has launched the “$10,000 Menu Challenge.” SMART will pay any dealer $10,000 if his or her PVR doesn't increase after using the “Protection Selector” menu for 30 days.
“This F&I sales system is easier, faster and produces higher PVR's than traditional menu selling. It's 100 percent compliant, customers love it and, best of all, we pay dealers to use it,” said David Engelman, president of SMART Payment Plan. “We are certified with ADP, Reynolds and Arkona/Dealertrack so it integrates seamlessly with all major DMS providers. Further, we are integrated with all major VSC providers for automated rating look-ups.”
Rod Tobiason, SMART's vice president of sales and training, added, "Everyone that sees it agrees that it's a better way to sell F&I products. It doesn't take long to see the impact on PVR."
Early users of the “Protection Selector” menu are posting PVR's in excess of $2,000. After seeing these results, SMART launched it's “$10,000 Menu Challenge.” So far, SMART said it hasn’t had to pay a single dealer.
