Safety is Our Goal
What, continued
Wood County Farm Bureau believes that
sharing ideas with other county Farm Bureaus is
the right thing to do. Why should we all reinvent
the wheel?
Graduates: Rewards await those who have
graduated from four year universities, accredited
two year colleges, nursing programs, and graduate
or doctorate programs within the past two years.
Incentives include cash discounts, special lease
or finance offers, low APR, low down payment or
deferred payment plans.
Many of you know that insurance through
Nationwide is a real asset. But, do you
know about, and have you used Nationwide
Agribusiness’ Farm Safety Video Lending
Library?
Loyalty: The competition for your business is
heated and auto makers want to keep drivers in
the family. Be sure to ask for loyalty offers which
most dealers consider on a case by case basis.
Your repeat business is worth a lot to dealers.
Wood County Farm Bureau recently used one
of their DVDs for a monthly meeting, “Tractor
Accidents: It’s Not Gonna Happen To Me.” This
is one of the best safety videos I have seen. Need
a program for your meeting? Showing these
videos is a great idea!
Conquest: In this case the competition factor
can work in your favor if you inform the dealer
of your intention to “jump ship” and switch auto
brands. It is quite common to see bonus cash
awards of $1,000 being thrown into the deal to get
you to change your brand of car.
This is how it works—go to your local
Nationwide agent, ask him to contact Kent
Fisher (phone 419-571-5349 or e-mail kfisher@
nationwide.com). Select the program you want
(and maybe an alternate in the event that one is
not available), pick the DVD up at the Nationwide
agent’s office, and return it to him or her after
your program.
Snoop around and save
Before you hit the road and visit the
showrooms, spend a little time snooping around
on the internet. Check out manufacturer’s websites
and dealer websites. They will announce the
current incentives and help you get an idea of
what to expect once you are in the middle ق
