Carrier Letter

Dear Readers,Welcome to the July issue of Motor Finance. This months cover story takes aim at customer relationship management (CRM) for dealers. Many dealers, Brian Rogerson finds, have invested in shiny CRM IT systems in order to make the most of their existing customer base, but poor implementation in many cases means the investment is a waste of time - and finance and insurance sales have suffered as a result. See How not to lose that loving feeling for a wide range of views and opinions on the subject, and ways forward for both financiers and their dealer partners.

Editor's Letter

The end of an era Around this time of year, I receive a lot of emails forwarded by friends and colleagues, containing vouchers and codes to help ease the burden of Christmas spending. Looking through one such list this year, I was surprised to see a voucher from Arnold Clark, offering £300 off the price of a new car. It was more than a little incongruous among the pizza restaurant deals and online shopping offers, and all the more remarkable as a result. Is it canny marketing - or a sign of how bad things have got in motor retail? Our cover story takes a good look at the current state of affairs for motor finance - and finds reasons to hope amid the gloom. The long-awaited Detroit bailout bill is finally here, after a highly troubled gestation (see p6). It will at least stop GM and Chrysler from running out of cash before the end of March; what will happen after that is anyones guess. France, too, has taken the decision to aid its manufacturers - and, more pertinently, their captive finance arms. Meanwhile there is more worrying news from the non-prime and sub-prime market: as Blue closes its doors to new business and BCT drastically cuts its motor finance volume, F&I has never been higher up the news agenda.
