Strategic Consulting Services, Inc.

Strategic Consulting Services, Inc. (SCS) is a United States-based management consulting company focused on dealerships in the automotive, powersports, RV and commercial vehicle markets. According to its official website, the firm's goal is to see dealerships thrive and win in every aspect of their business, helping dealers champion business challenges and offering custom Finance & Insurance (F&I) products and services that drive dealership profitability. The company positions itself as "dealer focused, relationship driven," describing relationships as the cornerstone of its business rather than a tag line. SCS was founded in March 2005 by Jeff Bond, who serves as Founder and President. Bond began his career in the automobile industry selling cars in 1991, then moved into an F&I Manager role for a large dealer group, later becoming a General Manager and a Corporate Sales Trainer from 1995 to 2005 before founding SCS. The company says it continues to grow with innovative products, award-winning programs and services, and a team of income developers. The firm's dealer services center on two main pillars. First, it offers a full suite of aftermarket Finance and Insurance products designed to accommodate the diverse requirements of franchise and independent clients, with the goal of maximizing dealership profitability through competitive F&I products. Second, it provides custom dealership training and development programs tailored to the specific needs of each business, aimed at avoiding inefficiency, disempowered staff and declining revenue. SCS describes its approach as a four-step process: Engage, Envision, Create and Implement. It begins by seeking to understand who the client is and what their goals are, asking "the hard questions" to unearth the right solutions. It then formulates a unique strategy for what the dealership could become, collaborates to build the best blueprint, and walks with the client through implementation rather than simply handing over a list of solutions. The company works with a network of industry partners that support its dealership growth solutions. These include VINCUE (an all-in-one inventory data and tools platform), Protective (life insurance, annuity solutions and asset protection), CareGard Warranty Services (vehicle service contracts and aftermarket protection products), AdvantagePlus (customer satisfaction programs for retail automotive dealerships), 700Credit (credit, compliance, prescreen and pre-qualification solutions), VisionMenu (F&I software selling solutions), Covideo (sales enablement video tool), Line 5 (vehicle protection plan financing), BraunAbility (wheelchair accessible vans and lifts), ProSeal Ceramic (ceramic sealant), the Association of Finance & Insurance Professionals (the F&I trade sanctioning body), Gerry Gould & Associates (training and coaching), and Gold Standard Automotive. SCS operates as a private company. Its official website is scspro.net, and its founder can be reached at jeff@scspro.net. The firm's stated values emphasize sincerity, conscientiousness, authenticity and transparency, with a philosophy of trying not to say "no" but rather "let's try."
