WFS Financial Inc. recently welcomed more than 250 of the nation’s largest franchise and independent auto dealers to a spectacular event at the Atlantis Hotel in the Bahamas. Both dealer representatives and WFS associates shared in the experience as a culmination of a nationally sponsored competition mutually benefiting the dealers and WFS organization, according to Tom Wolfe, president of WFS Financial.

From May 8 through May 11, the event gathered a majority of the country’s largest and most prestigious automobile dealer groups. Dealers were specially invited as recognition for superior performance and teamwork with WFS in attainment of pre-established goals highlighting auto contract origination volume and conversion.

“At WFS, we believe that rewarding and recognizing our dealer partners is a priority in developing successful business relationships”, Wolfe said. “We chose the Bahamas as a destination for our semi-annual dealer event because it provided an excellent environment in which to work, relax, and enjoy all of the activities that an outstanding resort is able to offer.”

The event offered dealers a variety of activities for business and pleasure including day and evening receptions, golf, underwater adventures, world class food and entertainment, and more. "As a premier sponsor of dealer events, WFS values the contribution of its dealer partners and commits to enhancing its role as 'The Relationship Lender' by offering quick credit decisions, effective and efficient operations, 7 day-a-week availability, and the delivery of unparalleled customer service," Wolfe said.
