MRAA Retail Members can now access complimentary finance and insurance courses at MRAATraining.com
First Approval Source, a provider of consulting and finance & insurance outsourcing to marine dealers, has partnered with the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas to offer finance and insurance education exclusively to MRAA Retail Members via the association’s Interactive Virtual Training System.
The first of the monthly courses to be offered to MRAA Members — Creating F&I Performance Goals — is now live at MRAATraining.com. In it, First Approval Source COO Myril Shaw discusses the most important F&I benchmark, customer penetration rates for F&I products, the F&I Department’s contribution to the bottom line and how to manage F&I expenses.
“First Approval Source is deeply committed to serving the marine retail community through training,” says Liz Walz, vice president of the MRAA. “We are thrilled to be able to work with Myril and his team to provide our members with a consistent flow of new finance and insurance education.”
The F&I Training Series has been made available to MRAA Members on a complimentary basis, thanks to the support of Norman Spencer Marine Insurance.
