The Role of the Finance Manager in Customer Experience

The finance office is often the most impactful experience a customer remembers from the sales process. That makes the finance manager’s role critical in shaping CSI, retention, and profitability. 

  • Customer Interviews → Conduct interviews right after the deal closes to learn customer needs and present the right products. 
  • Credit Review → Review applications and credit histories with the customer to ensure accuracy and set clear expectations on banks, rates, and terms. 
  • Time Expectations → Set realistic timelines for entering finance, time in finance, and use that window to build rapport. 
  • Managing the Process → Explain when accounts will be live at the bank, handle WIOs up front, and guide customers through every step. 

Closing the Experience → Personally return customers to their salesperson, provide business cards for direct contact, and always return calls and messages.
