During Devine's keynote – "Why Some Win and Some Lose in F&I" – attendees will learn tips and tricks to help increase performance in the finance department. 

If your finance department isn’t performing up to the standards you expect, and you’re not getting the desired results, Hoss says there are only six reasons:

  1. Psychological

  2. Presentational

  3. Deal Structure

  4. Salespeople don’t love you

  5. Can’t get your paper bought

  6. Administratively Dysfunctional

Devine is founder and president of Automotive Innovations, Inc., or Ai. In 25 years in retail automotive, sales and the F&I training, technology and consulting industries, he has amassed extensive knowledge and experience helping dealers become better operators and stewards of their businesses. With a track record of helping dealers bullet-proof their operations over the past two decades, he expanded his consulting company in 2016 to create Ai to help his message and solutions reach a broader audience.
