Is Menu Selling For You?

Friday, October 29th, 2010

Menu Selling systems have grown in popularity over the past several years.  The question is, are they really effective at helping you increase profits in the F&I office?  The answer is “YES” if you use the sytem correctly and consistently…and the answer is “NO” if you use the system improperly or inconsistently.  Menu selling is a tool to help you close sales, it is not a replacement for an energetic, enthusiastic F&I / Business Manager!  Rebecca Chernick of CCI Learning Center has extensive experience with menu selling – she has written an excellent article about this closing tool – click here to read it.

MINI-MENU SELLING TEMPLATE

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

Use a REPUTABLE Menu Selling Software to Avoid Disclosure Concerns!!!

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Referring to the Blog post of November 11th, “Is MENU SELLING Illegal?”, I was informed today by Quantech Software, a Canadian leader in menu selling software, that a REPUTABLE program will have full disclosure safeguards built into it.  That means, the monthly payment will show an incremental change based on the product(s) added in the menu and the full price of the product will be displayed too!  It’s clear then, that Menu Selling is definitely LEGAL, users must simply have a quality menu selling software program to work from!  You can be confident, when working with a reputable company, they have already done the homework for you to ensure the product is compliant with all policies, rules and regulations!

Happy MENU SELLING!

Is MENU SELLING Illegal?

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

According to BC law, Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act (BPCPA), a deceptive act or practice occurs when a product is quoted to a customer (as in the business office) and is broken down into a monthly payment increment without disclosing the full amount of the product being offered, until after the customer has agreed to purchase it. This was brought up in the blog post of  October 21st, “Laws Governing the Automotive Industry”, and has been the cause of a little annoying voice in the back of my head ever since it was questioned by one of our readers.  You see, that would mean that menu selling is illegal because to the best of my knowledge, all menu selling programs offer a payment to your customer, inclusive with particular add-ons and does not disclose the full premium for the products.  Since I am only the messenger and my purpose is to report updated and valuable information to you, I took it upon myself to bring this question up with the Vehicle Sales Authority (VSA).  I am waiting for a response and once that is available, I will relay my findings to you in a new post. It would be mighty disturbing (and hard to imagine I must say!) if menu selling as we know it would be deemed illegal!  Whatever the outcome, the results will impact the definition of a deceptive act or practice. Stay Tuned!
