Daily AI voice practice on the conversations a f&i manager actually has.

What a F&I Manager Does

The F&I manager is the back-end specialist. They handle financing setup, present menu products (VSC, GAP, prepaid maintenance, paint protection), navigate compliance language (TILA, OFAC, Red Flags), and close the deal. F&I is half the gross on most deals.
