Fund Risk Analysis and Management

Managing product funds and making it profitable can be daunting.  You would need extensive knowledge of vehicle maintenance and servicing costs and how to position your rates to effectively run a healthy fund.

On-going fluctuating factors impact this process for example:

  • Vehicle Maintenance and Servicing Costs: Understanding the costs associated with keeping vehicles in operation, which is crucial for accurately setting rates.
  • Positioning Rates: Strategically determining rates to ensure it covers costs while remaining competitive in the market.
  • CPK Modelling: The cost efficiency of maintaining vehicles over their lifespan.
  • Claims Handling: Efficiently managing and processing claims to minimize financial impact and maintain fund health.
  • Vehicle Model Exposure: Assessing the risk exposure associated with different vehicle models to adjust pricing accordingly.
  • Product Cover: Designing product offerings that provide adequate coverage for customers while managing risk for the fund.
  • Loss Ratio and Burn Rates: Monitoring these financial metrics to gauge the fund’s performance and adjust strategies as needed.
  • Margins: Ensuring that profit margins are sufficient to sustain operations and fund growth.

    Profitable funds become  a fine balancing act between taking care of your customers and taking care of your business.

    Customer Retention Training Courses

    “There is a big difference between a satisfied customer and a loyal customer.”  Shep Hyken

    Customer retention is widely recognized as a crucial factor for sustainable business growth. Several studies and industry insights support this notion, highlighting that retaining existing customers typically leads to guaranteed future revenue.

    After a vehicle is sold, how do you retain your customers in the After-Sales environment?  Apps and marketing have their place, but a customer will deal with a person once the vehicle is due for service or repairs.  Provide red-carpet services from bookings to claims and get your customer to want to come back and insist their friends do business with you.

    ARQ³ Customer Retention Training courses are designed to treat customers fairly by managing expectations and in turn, not just retain existing customers, but grow your existing customer base.

    Based on vocational, soft-skills, and product-related modules, your staff member will have the opportunity to fine-tune their current position and grow in their personal development to excel in their career path.

    “Loyal customers, they don’t just come back, they don’t simply recommend you, they insist that their friends do business with you.”  Chip Bell.
