The Better the Appraisal Effectiveness, the More You Can Improve the "Turn and Earn" of your Used Vehicles!
Compensation Idea for Acquisition Appraisers
Compensate for an emphasis on appraisal “effectiveness”
Appraisal effectiveness (“look to book”) is the number of vehicles taken in as a percentage of the number of appraisals performed.
Consider a bonus that rewards individual "look to book."
Since appraisal conversion is vital for maintaining inventory quality, what does an appraisal policy look like?
Appraisal Policy Process & Execution
Ensure that you have a sound process, supported by documentation, for each trade appraisal and for each purchased unit.
Consistent use of appraisal technology
The Sales Management Team performs a daily review of both traded and non-traded used vehicle appraisals.
Appraiser Evaluation Metrics
Have your compensation incentive kick in when:
Look-to-Book is 80% or higher
Your Acquisition Cost to market: 80%
Reconditioning RO totals should vary from the reconditioning estimates by no more than 10%
Since how long it takes to recondition vehicles can drastically affect how well vehicles sell, cycle time is of critical importance. Incentivize when the vehicle gets on the line in less than 72 hours.
