It’s a proven fact that following Insignia’s best practice tips will add thousands, sometimes millions in gross profit to your dealership in a calendar year.

Jaguar Land Rover Nashville Retailer Encourages Self Expression
Nashville, Tennessee--the city of expression. The city that gave us Carrie Underwood now gives us better, more beautiful Jags and Land Rovers that put your base model to shame. Imagine that. Shaming a Jaguar. We’ve seen it all, folks.
Country music, famous hot chicken, the Parthenon and the Tomato Art Festival are only a few of Nashville’s unique qualities that beckon you to get to know her. Whether it’s songwriting, street art, or painting a school bus hot pink and starting a tour business, Nashvillians are true individuals. Nashville Jaguar Land Rover cashed in on that fact.

5 reasons why Hyannis Toyota is a prime example of how accessory sales should work
Long ago when the Mayflower landed, weary pilgrims climbed out of the boat and onto Cape Cod. It is rumored that this location is where famous explorer John Smith prophesied that Massachusetts would be the home of a wise ruler who would lead his people to automotive greatness with diligence and commitment.
This prophecy was (obviously) fulfilled in Bryan Scarpellini, General Manager, at Hyannis Toyota in Hyannis, Massachusetts. (Disclaimer: There is potential that a portion of this history lesson was fabricated.)
Working together with Insignia Vehicle Personalization Expert, Jason Ludwig, Hyannis Toyota quickly absorbed the passion for pizzazz and all things personalization were born.

Newark Toyota World: Salesmen pockets extra $10k by personalizing the process
In the smallish town of Newark, Delaware, there is a seasoned salesmen relaxing on his day off, feet up, smile on his face, surrounded by grandiose feelings of success and stacks of crisp bills fastened with rubber bands.
Though the likelihood of fabrication in that description is high, Newark Toyota World’s Ken Steen is news you don’t want to miss. Ken is leading his dealership in total gross per unit already this year, which is really no surprise at all.

Adventure Subaru: Management supports the frontman from the wings
The lead singer gets all the glory.
But take away the drummer and bass guitarist and the whole act falls apart. Often it's the players in the background responsible for putting in the work that allows the star to shine. That’s the kind of dedication and execution taking place from the corner office at Adventure Subaru in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Adventure Subaru joined up with Insignia in the summer of 2017. Prior to using a streamlined process and system, management described the dealership as “stumbling upon $20,000 in accessories each month.” General Manager Tim Hurd approached Insignia with the challenge to double their monthly vehicle personalization profit. Insignia’s local Vehicle Personalization Expert, Kurt Daughtery, knew there was one surefire way to achieve this goal--and it was going to require the drummer and the bass player to make it happen.
