That's a good policy - especially the part about a second chance to save the deal.

I remember dealer who used to have a manager's meeting with his sales and finance staff each week where they would review the write-ups they had that didn't result in a car sale. All the managers got along but they were also very competitive - it was interesting how a different perspective could save a deal.

I thought the meetings were a great idea - it really forced the desk to be up to date on all the latest programs since they knew their write-ups would be reviewed if they didn't sell the car.
