Alphera Financial Services, BMW Group’s motor finance division, has launched an incentive scheme for its UK dealer and broker partners.
Alphera will reward partners who generate the highest levels of customer satisfaction, rather than the highest finance sales volumes.
The new scheme runs from January to the end of September 2019. For the next nine months, those working for Alphera’s UK partners will ask their customers to complete a survey after taking out a finance agreement with Alphera, gauging their satisfaction in the finance sales process.
By prioritising positive customer outcomes, Alphera intends to encourage sales behaviours that comply fully with Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulations. The incentive scheme will also promote the development of skills and knowledge across the motor finance sector, encouraging the uptake of specialist finance qualifications from industry bodies, such as the Institute of the Motor Industry, developed in conjunction with Alphera, and the Finance and Leasing Association (FLA).
Spencer Halil, director of Alphera Financial Services, said: “With greater regulatory scrutiny than ever before, treating customers fairly has never been more important for motor retailers. Instead of asking our partners to prioritise contract volumes, Alphera’s incentive scheme encourages a single-minded focus on raising customer satisfaction through the application of specialist skills and knowledge and FCA-compliant sales practices.
“We expect the FCA will have something to say about the way the car industry incentivises salespeople when its final motor finance report comes out this year, so now is the time for dealers and car finance brokers to ensure they’re engaging with customers in a positive way.”
