•Teaching loan officers how to ask, then asking why they didn’t ask.
•Only 10% of auto loans are indirect.
• Cross selling earns tokens redeemable for corporate wear.
• GAP and warranty sales earn cash.
• Occasional targeted promotions.
• Interest rebates to drive loyalty. Word of mouth is more effective than traditional advertising.
