After 14 years of nationwide internal auditing, average incentives missed & claims retrieved per dealership on the first day
CATCHING MISSED INCENTIVE CLAIMS
COMMISSION ONLY OFFER- NEW CLIENTS!
What will you do with your return?
Historically, C&I Solutions, Inc. finds $22,000 in missed incentive claims at each dealership in the original assessment. The original assessment generally takes 1-2 business days and less than 1 hour of staff time to discover what was missed.
- You provide a list of the claims you are intending to claim
- We log on to your computer and look for claims you missed
- Claims found which you were not intending to claim are provided on a list at the end of the day
- We explain how to claim them
- If you decide to claim them, commission is charged on what is paid by Ford
- You are not billed until Ford pays the claims
The charge for this service is commission-only. It is free to find out what you missed. You are billed only if you decide to claim what was found, and only after you receive the money from Ford.
Why check for older missed claims?
- Long term benefit: Pay us commission on the claims we found, but going forward, claim the same program on your own with no commission fees
- Learn claiming strategies to get more claims paid in the future
CATCH MISSED INCENTIVE CLAIMS
MONTHLY CLAIMS AUDIT- ONGOING CLIENTS
Q&A
‘We use Smart Vincent on every deal. Isn’t that enough?’
No, is it not enough. Most dealers use Smart Vincent regularly and we still find claims every month.
‘Can we have references for who you’ve worked with?’
Absolutely. You can have as many references as you want. They are available upon request.
For a nominal fee, you can have peace of mind that all verifiable claims have been made.
It’s worth a double check.
Here’s how it works:
- A double check of your incentive claims. Dealer incentives, customer incentives, or both!
- Commission free, flat rate
- No long term contract
- Almost zero staff time…except to claim your found money!
- Courtesy follow ups to ensure claims are made before they expire… or you can opt out!
- Claims shown can be all claims outstanding, or just the ones your staff don’t know about!
Why check for missed claims?
- Learn how other dealers may be beating your prices
- Learn about programs you didn’t realize existed
- Increase gross by using incentives to reduce prices… why pay out of pocket to match other dealer’s prices?
- Keep a good reputation with your customers by providing all the discounts available to them
- Retain customers: If you don’t use the incentives, your customer may go to other dealerships who use the incentives because they have ultimately offered a better price
