28 Conclusions The Invest in America brand is effectively driving consumers’ behavior toward buying American when you consider the significant percentage of respondents who previously owned a foreign vehicle The CU member discount is an appealing offer with over 80% utilizing it to purchase their vehicles Credit unions need to be more engaged in this program because they are missing key opportunities for loan volume and wallet share growth Although 94% used a credit union to finance their vehicle (the discount program required financing from a credit union in order to receive the vehicle discount) less than half (41%) consider a credit union to be their primary financial institution Less than 10% of respondents learned about the program from their credit union The survey findings support key strategies that have been defined for Invest in America Engage key members of the credit union team to take ownership of the program including: sales and service, lending and marketing Support credit unions and proactively marketing the program by providing free marketing materials and defining marketing requirements Communicate more concrete evidence directly to the credit union of how Invest in America can drive volume and wallet share growth and highlight the opportunities that they are missing

29 Presenting IIA to CUs IIA Concept
The program was developed for one simple purpose – to help credit unions grow and retain membership. IIA is a national credit union program, designed for all credit unions and credit union members to participate in and take advantage of. Some of the offers will be specific to credit union core products/service, such as the Auto Discount program, which helps credit unions promote and generate auto loans and has helped develop stronger relationships between credit unions and their dealer partners. Other offers will not relate to a core credit union function, but will simply be another benefit of membership, such as the Sprint program.  It simply makes being a credit union member a greater benefit. And if you can add value to what you already offer, why wouldn’t you?

30 IIA Common Misconceptions and Objections
Credit Union -  We marketed it first quarter, but we thought it was ending in March or June. Response -  The auto program is contracted through the end of the year and both GM and Chrysler have indicated a desire to continue it longer.  The Thor RV discount program is contracted through year end and expected to continue afterwards and the Sprint program is a rolling contract through at least 2012.  Credit Union – We don’t want to alienate our foreign auto dealer partners by promoting domestic dealers. Response – This program allows you the opportunity to let your members know they can save money when purchasing an automobile from GM or Chrysler.  Why would you put your relationship with your dealers over your relationship with your members?  Your members will hear about this program from other credit unions and from GM and Chrysler dealers, won’t they wonder why your credit union didn’t tell them about it?  If they want to purchase an auto from the domestic automakers, why would you not want them to save money?  Additionally, if your credit union doesn’t tell them about it, why would they come to your credit union to get their loan?

31 IIA Common Misconceptions and Objections
Credit Union – We are concerned about GM and Chrysler bankruptcies. Response – Both GM and Chrysler are in strong positions as they successfully emerged from bankruptcy.  Both bankruptcies were necessary to eliminate much of the debt the companies had relating to retirees, overhead, etc.  They were able to restructure to establish themselves as viable companies and position themselves to compete in the future.  They are both leaner more focused companies and in better shape than ever before. Credit Union – Our credit union doesn’t have a very good history of relationships with dealers. Response – Your credit union is not alone. Many credit unions have historically had a difficult time forming a solid relationship with dealers, in order to get them to send A and B paper loans instead of C and D paper loans.  However, an unanticipated benefit of this program is the way dealers are working with and responding to credit unions.  Dealers are so appreciative of the support credit unions are giving them, and the fact they have money to lend, they are sending better and more loans to their partner credit unions. 

32 IIA Common Misconceptions and Objections
Credit Union – The dealers are just going to steal the financing why do I want to promote it? Response - You can see by the number of loans funded by credit unions compared to the number of autos purchased, this is just not the case – of the 180,000 cars purchased through this program, credit unions funded 147,000 of them - nearly 82% of the loans were funded by credit unions. Although the program does not require GM to send financing to the credit union, your credit union is going to market auto loans to your members anyway. The IIA program gives you a new way to market it and generate some excitement.  And who wouldn’t want to let members know they can save money?  Look at it this way, if you don’t tell them about it and they find out from the dealer, odds are greater the dealer will get the financing instead of your credit union, because you may have alienated your member by not telling them about the discount.

33 IIA Common Misconceptions and Objections
Credit Union – We don’t see much value beyond the auto discount and we don’t do many auto loans. Response – Remember, the program is designed to help credit unions grow and retain members.  Simply by offering the discounts, makes being a member of your credit union more beneficial. The IIA program is bigger than just the auto discount.  We have numerous partners such as Sprint, Thor RVs, Universal and Allied.  All of these partners are providing discounts to your members, just because they are members.  They are enhancing the value of your credit union to your members simply by the fact they are offered.  Credit union membership has never been more beneficial, whether or not your members take advantage of all or some of the discount and whether or not your credit union is making additional auto loans.  More programs and partnerships to come.
