LAS VEGAS – Organizers of DealerTech Summit, a new event running alongside the annual Industry Summit, have announced that they are now accepting submissions for three dealership-focused video challenges. DealerTech Summit and Industry Summit will take place Nov. 13–16, 2022 at Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino.

These challenges were designed to give F&I and sales professionals an opportunity to showcase their skills to the Industry Summit audience in three different categories:

  • DIGITAL MENU PRESENTATION: Presenting the value of Voluntary Protection Products online instead of in person necessitates a different approach. Share your money-making tactics!

  • OVERCOMING F&I OBJECTIONS: Objections are not “no”, rather they are an opportunity to share the value of the Voluntary Protection Products. Present your special word tracts to overcoming objections.

  • OVERCOMING SALES OBJECTIONS: Similar to overcoming F&I Objections, but focused on sales managers as they offer up killer closes.

F&I and sales professionals are encouraged to record videos focused on the three prompts, as if those watching the video are the customer being presented to in the dealership.

Six finalists will be selected for each category and will receive a complimentary registration to DealerTech Summit and Industry Summit, along with a 3-night hotel stay. During the event, all video submissions will be aired and the audience will vote in real-time for their favorite. 

The winning finalist in each category will receive $1000 and a trophy; and the overall challenge winner will receive $5000 and a trophy. All winners will be featured in an issue of F&I and Showroom or Auto Dealer Today magazine.
