The contest invites F&I managers and directors to share the most challenging objection or question posed to them by a customer.
Five finalists will be selected to participate in a live training session and competition at Industry Summit; each will be offered free registration and accommodations at the New Orleans Marriott. The deadline for submissions is midnight tonight, Oct. 7.
