Present an IMAGE of a Finance Manager
P R O F E S S I O N A L I M A G E
Imagine that you have a very important appointment with your banker. Maybe you are buying a new home, you want to renovate and improve your existing home or you are looking to grow your business. In any of these cases and for many other reasons than these, you will need to visit your personal banker to borrow money. How impressed would you be if your banker had messy hair, their tie was sloppy and crooked, shirt wrinkled, pants too short, fingernail polish chipped, acrylic nails missing, shoes dusty or dirty or both, buttons missing, still wearing their jacket (are they just coming or just leaving, in either case it doesn't look like they are staying)...I'm sure there are several other signals that would send a message of uncertainty about how capable this personal banker would be to take care of your financial matters...after all, they can barely put themselves together properly!
The point here is, IMAGE is paramount in the eyes of your customer/client. Take the extra time needed to present a clean, crisp image! This makes an impression on your internal customers too (the people you work with!). To be taken seriously like a banker, you must take yourself seriously. As a Business Manager/F & I Manager in the automotive and RV industry, you have a very important job and you are seen as the “finance expert” by everyone you come into contact with, you collect the money for every vehicle sold and you process finance applications!
Be impressive! Create an Image of an Expert! You are who you Believe you are...present yourself as the highest paid Business Manager/F&I Manager in your entire town, city, province! When you start to act like the person you want to be, you put into motion the actions of growing into that person. Your practice of this DAILY will create the results you seek. Dare to be all that you can be!
What's YOUR Willingness to be a Top Performer?
