Are Your Deals Getting Approved, Booked, and Funded With Maximum Speed and Profit? 

Getting the deal approved, booked, the gross posted, and funded quickly isn’t optional — it’s where the money is made. 

Ask yourself: 

  • Does your finance team prioritize deals and cash flow, or do they let deals sit for hours, until tomorrow, or even longer? 
  • Do they work every callback to secure the best possible LTV, rate, and term — or do they accept the first approval and move on? 
  • Do they chase funding aggressively in Dealertrack and RouteOne, ensuring nothing stalls in the pipeline? 
  • Do they document every communication with the funding department inside the tool to maintain accountability and prevent delays? 

Every hour a deal sits is lost momentum, delayed cash flow, real profit left on the table — and real risk. 

The Bottom Line 

  • Vehicle margins will keep shrinking. 
  • F&I is the profit center that sustains dealerships. 
  • And when handled with transparency and professionalism, it builds trust instead of eroding it. 

The dealerships that master F&I profitability — without sacrificing customer trust — don’t just survive. They thrive.
