Austin, TX (September 10, 2024) – iA American Warranty Group (iA American) is pleased to announce that we have been chosen to receive nine 2024 Dealers’ Choice Awards in the following categories:

  • New Vehicle Leads (Diamond – for Dealer Wizard)
  • Digital Marketing (Diamond – for Dealer Wizard)
  • Sales Training (Platinum)
  • F&I Training (Platinum)
  • Special Finance Training (Diamond)
  • Reinsurance & Participation (Diamond)
  • Direct Marketing Sales (Platinum – for Dealer Wizard)
  • Direct Marketing Services (Diamond – for Dealer Wizard)
  • Data Mining (Diamond – for Dealer Wizard)

For the third year in a row, iA American received more awards than anyone else in the industry, as well as topped their own record. It marks the first time the Dealer Wizard team has been awarded five wins.

“What an incredible achievement to win another three awards for training,” said Eric “Frenchy” Mélon, Executive Vice President of Sales. “I am honored to see our continued success throughout the years. We strive to create a best-of-class learning environment with the most dedicated team in the industry. Our training team thanks you for the recognition.”

“We are grateful for our clients’ support and recognition of our world-class team and software solution,” said Todd Stewart, Senior VP for Dealer Wizard, iA American’s equity-mining solution. “Our client impact has never been greater, based on the value that our team is delivering when it comes to increased retail volume, stronger grosses, and reduced ad dollar investment.”

Now in its 20th year, the Dealers’ Choice Awards are determined solely by dealers and dealership personnel. Voters were asked to complete at least five of the survey’s three categories, entering their partner company’s name and scoring them on quality, value, customer service, and whether they would recommend that company to another dealer.
