AUSTIN, Texas — SMART Payment Plan announced the expansion of its sales operations into 30 new markets. The company is now actively recruiting new agents to expand its sales activity in Denver, Houston, Chicago, Detroit, Nashville, Philadelphia, Boise, Birmingham, Phoenix, Denver, Hartford, Tampa, Indianapolis, Des Moines, Kansas City, Louisville, Baltimore, Boston, Minneapolis, Omaha, Las Vegas, Reno, Newark, Albuquerque, Oklahoma City, Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Charleston, and Richmond.
“We currently serve leading dealers in over 300 cities in 37 states. We are happy more and more dealers are recognizing the value of offering our lower payments,” said CEO David Engelman. “Our lower payments make it easier for car buyers to afford vehicles and protection products. The data is undeniable. We are excited to grow our sales force to better serve more dealers.”
Executives cited Bureau of Labor Statistics data showing 89% of Americans get paid weekly, every two weeks, or twice per month. According to a CareerBuilder surveys, 80% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck. They said satisfying the majority of Americans’ budgeting cycles with lower, easier car payments overcomes many of the affordability issues caused by higher prices and higher interest rates in today’s automotive market.
