Are you with a dealership or do you know of one that implemented a strategy that helped it do more than survive in 2009? If so, then F&I magazine wants to hear from you.
There’s no doubt 2009 was unlike any other year, which is why the magazine has revamped its F&I Pacesetters of the Year contest to recognize dealers who persevered despite the unprecedented challenges in the industry this year.
The award will recognize six dealers from around the country. And those selected will automatically become finalists for the F&I Dealer of the Year, who will be named at the 2010 NADA Conference in Orlando, Fla.
To nominate a dealer, download the nomination form and return it to the magazine no later than Nov. 16, 2009:
