SMART Payment Plan Wins The 2015 Platinum Dealer’s Choice Award
NAPLES, Fla. - The publishers of Auto Dealer Monthly magazine announced the winners of the 11th annual Dealers’ Choice Awards. SMART Payment Plan is proud to win the 2015 Platinum Dealer’s Choice Award. “This marks our third consecutive year of being recognized as a leader in automotive payments services. We are proud to have earned our dealers' and dealership personnel’s praise and loyalty. This recognition is a result of the commitment of our agents and customer support operations in providing exceptional service,” explains David Engelman, CEO of SMART Payment Plan.
Dealership personnel recognized the industry’s best product and service providers by submitting their votes. This year’s awards featured 29 categories. In each category, the dealership voters had to write in the name of their provider and score them on the product or service itself, customer support, service, value, and whether they would recommend the company to other dealerships. SMART Payment Plan’s Chief Sales Officer, Rod Tobiason, will be happy to receive the award on behalf of the company at the ceremony on Sept. 10, 2015, at the Industry Summit in Las Vegas.
