Robert W Linkonis Sr.
Alliant Manager
Robert has 14 years of experience in the retail automotive industry with 10 years in F&I.
While in the position of Finance Director, Robert created the Alliant Credit Turn-Down Reversal System to be the solution for the hundreds of declined applicants produced by each store in his dealer group.
In early 2009, the Alliant system was perfected at the test dealership. During the trials, the system performed a 10% conversion of declined applicants into sold and delivered customers.
* These were applicants who could not get approved - even with the best efforts of a strong F&I Department - because they had credit reports showing current negative items.
After proving conclusively that the Alliant Credit Turn-Down Reversal system works, Robert feels confident telling all dealers that: "If you actively work the Alliant Credit Turn-Down Reversal system as part of your sales process, you can't help but sell more cars!"
