WORDS OF WISDOM

• While you are with the customer get their proof of income.
• Prepare your customer for electronic loan documents.
• Verify and re-verify the customer’s email address.
• OK TO BUILDS can come quick (3-4 days) or come slow depending on how excited the customer is to get their new products.
• Ask your customer credit questions before you quote your price. There are dealer fees on my loan, this takes away from your commissions and your profit. If the customer feels there are issues with their credit sell over par to cover a 10-15% fee. Once you quote a price your state law will not allow you to raise the price to cover fees. These fees are not paid by the customer, they are paid by contractor. Every loan gets priced based on its own risk of being paid back.
• Down payment, always remember getting a down payment instantly makes your sale more profitable. The down payment is not impacted by dealer fee, so get as much as you can. Work it out to get a certain amount today and a certain amount before install.
