Lightstone Star Reacher F&I Awards
Recognising excellence. Making an impact. Driving innovation
At Lightstone Auto we believe in the critical role of F&I Managers in ensuring dealer profitability. We also believe that dedication shouldn't go unnoticed and are proud to launch the first-of-its kind incentive programme for F&I Managers – the Lightstone Star Reacher F&I Awards. Through the programme Lightstone Auto aims to reward high-achievers while driving digital adoption among F&I Managers.
About the incentive programme

| Emerald | 7.1 | 14 |
| Sapphire | 14.1 | 28 |
| Amethyst | 28.1 | 40 |

F&I Managers will be competing in their allocated category and excellence achieved will be measured against the following star focus areas:
-
