Marcie:
I was the conference coordinator for Assurant Specialty Property and very active in the Auto Finance Risk Summit with Royal Media.
I am pursuing a position with a Sales Training company and wondered if a session on how to improve your sales group might fit in the 2010 Summit agenda. Something a little different but important none the less.

Marcie, I'd like to see more content on post origination risk mitigation. There are many tools and products available to mitigate risk post loan origination that don't get a lot of attention.

I would consider a topic/topics on bettering the fin co's relationships with dealers, etc. Provide the dealer with info/training they can use to help both parties do a better job thru updates, webinars, seminars, etc.

Ken -- what kind of tools are you talking about? Verification tools?

I would suggest some content on cross-selling to generate fee income for lenders. Products should include voluntary auto insurance, identity theft, etc.
I would be happy to present or advise on content.

Marcie, Post origination risk mitigation can start with insurance tracking. By monitoring the insurance status of the collateral, a lender gets a heads-up if there is a problem in the making. A borrowers failure to maintain proper coverage is many times a sign of larger financial problems. A service that determines current LTV for the uninsured loan is another tool available to help a lender quantify the risk of loss should the collateral be repossessed. These are just a few of the services my firm provides. I'm sure other providers have more tools as well.
