In the dynamic world of independent auto dealerships, floorplan financing isn’t just about providing capital—it’s about fostering partnerships that drive mutual success.
As President and COO of Kinetic Advantage, I’ve seen firsthand how strong relationships can expand valued floorplan partners into a deeper collaboration for dealership success.
The Foundation of Success
At its core, floorplan financing is designed to help dealerships manage inventory costs and maintain a diverse selection of vehicles.
However, the true value lies in how this financial tool is leveraged to support a dealership’s broader goals. This is where the importance of building strong relationships comes into play.
A floorplan provider who takes the time to understand your business, your challenges, and your aspirations can offer much more than just funding.
They become a partner in your success, providing insights, flexibility, and support tailored to your unique needs.
Beyond the Transaction
Beyond the Transaction
To truly make a difference today in the competitive auto sales landscape, floorplan financing must go beyond the transactional.
At Kinetic Advantage, we believe in the independent, entrepreneurial mindset. We share in those values as we’re an independent company, too. Thus, we understand our dealers and operate with these four tenants:
The Kinetic Advantage Approach
Our philosophy at Kinetic Advantage is rooted in the belief that hard work works.
We apply this not only to our own operations but to how we support our dealers.
By being a positive, independent example in the industry, we strive to foster the entrepreneurial experience for each dealer we partner with.
We’ve found that dealers who engage actively with their floorplan partners often see significant benefits:
▪ Improved inventory turnover rates
▪ Better cash flow management
▪ Enhanced ability to capitalize on market opportunities
▪ Stronger overall business growth
▪ More inventory selection means more customer traffic
Cultivating Successful Partnerships
Building strong relationships in floorplan financing requires effort from both parties.
Here are some key elements:
The Long-Term Impact
In my years in the automotive finance industry, I’ve seen how strong relationships can turn challenges into opportunities. When dealerships and floorplan providers work together with good judgment and self-awareness, the results can be transformative.
A strong partnership doesn’t just help you weather tough times—it positions you to thrive in good times. It’s about creating a foundation for sustainable growth and success in an ever-changing market.
As we look to the future of independent auto sales, the importance of strong relationships in floorplan financing cannot be overstated. At Kinetic Advantage, we’re committed to being more than just a finance provider—we aim to be a true partner in your success.
Remember, in the world of floorplan financing, the strongest foundations are built on trust, communication, and a shared commitment to success. By fostering these relationships, we can all work together to drive the industry forward and create lasting value for dealerships and consumers alike.
Let’s make a difference today and build a stronger future for independent auto sales, one relationship at a time.
