 &lt;p&gt;Over the years, I have found the F&amp;amp;I Manager position to be one of the more stable(less turn over) management positions in dealerships, especially front end positions.&amp;#160; Something dramatic is happening to change that status!&amp;#160; F&amp;amp;I has been our #1 search position over the last 18 months by a significant margin and right now represents over 25% of all opportunities for which we are conducting searches!&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The quick answer is process and technology enhancements, but that is true for all management positions in dealerships.&amp;#160; If you have any theories, please let me know!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6922730289614365337-7248608254357159752?l=autodealertalent.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://autodealertalent.blogspot.com/feeds/7248608254357159752/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://autodealertalent.blogspot.com/2011/06/what-is-going-on-with-f-manager.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6922730289614365337/posts/default/7248608254357159752'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6922730289614365337/posts/default/7248608254357159752'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://autodealertalent.blogspot.com/2011/06/what-is-going-on-with-f-manager.html' title='WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE F&amp;amp;I MANAGER POSITION!?'/><author><name>autodealertalent</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11065330358425256833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6922730289614365337.post-8042546897596548495</id><published>2011-06-27T12:03:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-27T12:03:14.551-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Thank you for joining us!</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;
