Referral routing for dealerships & insurance agencies
Insurance, handled
at the moment of purchase.
Every car buyer needs insurance before they can drive off. PSL captures the buyer’s consent in the store to one named agency, a broker, and routes the referral there, first contact inside 60 seconds whenever Louisiana’s contact window is open. The customer consents to that agency, and only to that agency. Its licensed producers then do the shopping: they run the quote across the carriers the agency represents and place whichever coverage is best for that customer at the best rate they can find. When the policy binds, the agency sends the binder and the documents F&I actually needs straight back to the store, so delivery doesn’t stall, funding doesn’t wait, and the customer just drives off. Painless for the dealership. Seamless for the customer.
Flat fee per accepted referral, never per quote or sale
Consent to one named agency only; the agency shops its carriers, no consent to each one
Binder & policy documents returned to F&I, not just proof someone called
Run it before F&I and it’s a sales tool: savings found on insurance can free budget for the vehicle

Hi Dana, this is Marcus, a licensed producer with the agency you named at the dealership. Congrats on the new car! You consented to hear from us, so I’ll shop your quote across the carriers we represent and bring you the best rate I can place. Is this the best number to reach you?FIRST CONTACT · 0:41 AFTER CONSENT
Yes! Still at the dealership signing. That works.4:13 PM
Perfect. Once you pick a policy, I’ll bind it and send the binder and proof of insurance straight to the finance office, with the lienholder listed correctly, so they can finish delivery without chasing paperwork.4:14 PM

The 60-second queue
A buyer’s attention has a half-life. We work inside it.
The moment a buyer signs, the clock starts. PSL’s queue offers the referral to the named agency’s producers in order, confirms acceptance, and gets a real first message out, before the buyer has finished their coffee in the delivery lane. The 60-second standard runs inside Louisiana’s permitted contact windows; consent captured after hours is held and fires the moment the window opens.
BEAT 1 OF 4
0s
Consent captured at the store
The buyer names one agency, a broker, and authorizes contact from that agency. They do not consent to any carrier individually; shopping the carriers is the agency’s job after the handshake. The disclosure, timestamp, and store are written to a permanent consent record before anything moves.
CLICK THROUGH AT YOUR OWN PACE. THE SECOND MARKERS ARE THE STANDARD THE QUEUE IS HELD TO, NOT A STOPWATCH.
How it works
Six steps. One handshake, done right.
PSL is a referral, not a sales pitch. The dealership introduces, the buyer chooses one agency, and that agency’s producers shop the carriers and quote. Every step is built so the consent the buyer gave, to one agency and only that agency, is exactly the contact they get.
STEP 01
The buyer needs insurance to buy the car
That need exists long before the deal is done. It’s there on the sales floor, while the vehicle and the payment are still being decided. Run the introduction in F&I and PSL makes delivery painless. Run it earlier, on the floor, and the same introduction becomes a sales tool (see For Sales below). Either way, the buyer still needs coverage that fits the new vehicle, the lienholder, and the loan terms, and their current coverage may not.
STEP 02
The store offers the introduction
One short script, one screen. The buyer sees the agency by name and chooses whether to be introduced. That one choice is the whole consent: to that agency, not to a list of carriers. No pressure: a skipped offer is simply the end of it.
STEP 03
Consent is recorded
What the buyer agreed to, the exact disclosure they saw, and when, stored as a consent record that can be produced later, for any referral, on demand.
STEP 04
The queue routes inside 60 seconds
The referral is offered to the named agency’s producers in rotation. First to accept owns it. Timeouts roll forward, inside the same agency, always.
STEP 05
The agency makes contact, and shops the quote
A real producer reaches out from the agency’s own registered number, during Louisiana’s permitted contact windows, then runs the quote across the carriers the agency represents and places whichever one is best for the customer.
STEP 06
The bound policy comes back to the store
When the customer binds, the agency sends F&I the binder, proof of insurance, and the relevant policy documents for the deal jacket, lienholder correct, vehicle correct, ready for delivery and funding. The customer doesn’t have to carry paperwork back and forth, and F&I doesn’t have to chase it. The referral itself is still billed as a flat fee, the same whether the policy binds or not, because the fee is for the referral, full stop.
The bright line: PSL never quotes, never shops carriers, never picks coverage, and never sells insurance. Choosing between carriers is licensed work. The named agency’s producers do it, under the customer’s consent to that agency. Intake asks only what a referral needs: who the buyer is, what they bought, and how to reach them. Everything about insurance happens with the agency, the broker the buyer chose.
The referral record
Every referral is a file, not a rumor.
When a referral moves, PSL writes down exactly what moved, what the buyer agreed to, and what happened next. This is the record both sides can pull at any time, the same record that answers an auditor, a dispute, or a regulator.

SAMPLE RECORD · DEMO DATARETENTION PER CONSENT & DNC RULES
Why the record matters more than the lead
Anyone can sell a name and a phone number. What makes a referral defensible, to a regulator, to the dealer’s compliance office, to the buyer, is the paper trail behind it.
Consent you can produce
The disclosure version, the timestamp, and the agency named, retrievable per referral, not reconstructed after the fact.
One recipient, by design
The record names a single agency, the one in the consent. The carriers the agency shops are not recipients of the referral and never receive the buyer’s consent; they are quoted by the agency’s producers, on the customer’s behalf, after the handshake. If routing ever pointed anywhere else, the record would show it, which is exactly why it never does.
Suppression that sticks
An opt-out lands on the suppression list immediately and permanently, honored across every store and agency on the platform, not just the one that heard it.
Disputes settled in minutes
Wrong number? Duplicate? The record shows what was captured and when, so data-defect credits are a lookup, not an argument.
The best insurance conversation starts before the buyer leaves the desk.
At the desk, the buyer is present, the vehicle is real, and the need is immediate, not a cold list worked three days later. Handled there, insurance stops being the errand that delays delivery and becomes a seamless part of buying the car: because the agency is a broker, the customer isn’t handed a single take-it-or-leave-it quote. The agency shops its carriers and places the best rate it can find. The customer has a better buying experience, and F&I gets the bound policy’s documents back without asking twice.
CONSENT TO ONE AGENCY ONLYCARRIERS SHOPPED FOR BEST RATE60 SECONDSBINDER BACK TO F&I
Why F&I actually cares
It’s not proof of contact. It’s the paperwork that lets the car leave.
Proof that someone sent a text doesn’t deliver a vehicle. What F&I needs, and what the lender requires, is a bound policy with the right documents attached. PSL builds that return trip into the workflow, so the part dealerships and customers usually dread becomes the easiest part of the deal. And speed alone isn’t the value: because the agency is a broker, its producers shop the quote and place the best rate they can find for that customer. Real savings on coverage, found in the store, go straight back into the customer’s monthly budget.
FOR F&I
The binder and documents, sent to you
When the policy binds, the agency sends the dealership the binder, proof of insurance, ID cards, and the relevant policy documents, vehicle and lienholder listed correctly, directly to F&I for the deal jacket. No chasing the customer for a screenshot. No delivery held up while someone hunts for a declarations page. No funding packet missing its insurance piece.
FOR THE CUSTOMER
One seamless purchase, not two separate errands
The customer doesn’t get sent away to “go figure out insurance” and come back with paperwork. They consent to one agency at the desk, talk to a real producer while they’re still at the store, and the agency shops the carriers it represents, so the premium they bind is the best the agency could place for them, not the first quote that came back. Money saved on coverage is money back in their monthly budget. Then they bind and drive off, car and coverage handled in the same visit. That is a better buying experience, start to finish.
FOR THE DEALERSHIP
Deals don’t stall at the insurance step
A customer who is already at your store, in F&I, signing, ready to take delivery, is there to buy. Send that customer away to sort insurance on their own and you introduce delay, doubt, and a reason for the deal to cool off. Handle it inside the visit and you protect the momentum you already have: the same customers, a smoother close, and delivery the same day.
Painless, seamless, easy, for both sides of the desk. The dealership does one introduction and gets finished documents back. The customer does one consent and drives off insured. The agency does the insurance work it’s licensed for, including shopping its carriers for the best rate. Nobody carries paperwork between the other two, and nobody has to wonder where things stand.
The broker advantage
One consent to one agency. Every carrier it can shop.
This is the part that makes PSL a real asset to a dealership, not just quicker paperwork. The customer names one agency, a broker, and consents to that agency alone. Its licensed producers then do what a broker is for: run the quote across the carriers the agency represents and place whichever one is best for the customer.
01 · THE CONSENT
They consent to the agency, full stop
The buyer agrees to be contacted by the agency named at the desk, a broker. They never consent to any carrier one by one, and no carrier receives their information from PSL. One consent, one agency, one first call to expect.
02 · THE SHOPPING
Shopped, not handed a single quote
The agency represents multiple carriers. Its producers compare them for that customer, their vehicle, their record, their household, and use whichever carrier gives them the best combination of rate and fit. The customer gets a broker working the market for them, not one company’s price.
03 · THE SAVINGS
A better premium is money back in the payment
Coverage is a real line in a car buyer’s monthly budget. When the agency’s shopping finds a meaningfully lower premium than the customer expected to pay, that difference doesn’t vanish. It frees up monthly income the customer can put toward the vehicle itself, with their bills still covered. Savings vary by customer and carrier; the point is the shopping actually happens, in the store, before the numbers are final.
Run it before F&I, and it’s a sales tool. The payment bump, in full, is next. The quote doesn’t have to wait until the deal is done. A customer who walked in budgeting a certain amount for insurance and finds the agency can place it for less suddenly has room in their monthly picture, room that can make the vehicle they actually want fit comfortably. The desk learns about the savings while the deal is still being built, not after it’s already been squeezed. And the shopping itself is always the agency’s licensed work. PSL routes the consent and never touches the quote. See how sales uses it, step by step →
For sales, before F&I
The payment bump: find money on insurance, put it toward the car they actually want.
A customer doesn’t live on a car payment alone. They live on a total: car payment plus insurance plus every other bill. Sales usually only negotiates the first number, and when it’s too high, the only lever is discounting the car. PSL gives the desk a second lever. Run the introduction early, while the deal is still being built, and if the agency’s shopping finds a lower premium than the customer budgeted for, that saving is real monthly room, room the customer can choose to put toward a more expensive vehicle while their total monthly picture, and their bills, stay covered.
PLAY 01 · EARLY
Bring insurance up on the floor, not at delivery
Don’t wait until F&I. While you’re qualifying the customer and landing them on a vehicle, ask what they pay, or expect to pay, for insurance. For a lot of buyers that number is a guess, an old premium, or a quote for the wrong car. That guess is quietly capping what they think they can afford.
PLAY 02 · CONSENT
One introduction, one consent, to one agency
Offer the same introduction F&I offers, just earlier: “Our insurance agency partner can shop your coverage across the carriers they represent and bring you the best rate they can place. Want me to introduce you?” If they say yes, PSL captures consent to that agency only and routes it in under 60 seconds. No consent, no contact, and the sale carries on exactly as before.
PLAY 03 · THE HANDSHAKE
The agency shops while you keep selling
A producer at the agency takes the Handshake and works the quote across the carriers the agency represents, while you’re still on the test drive, the appraisal, or the desk. You don’t stop selling to wait on insurance, and you never touch the quote yourself: shopping carriers is the agency’s licensed work.
PLAY 04 · THE BUMP
The desk rebuilds the deal with real numbers
If the agency places coverage for less than the customer budgeted, the desk now knows the actual insurance number, not the guess. The freed amount can be shown to the customer, plainly, as part of their total monthly picture, and they can choose to step up: the higher trim, the bigger vehicle, the one they wanted first. If the agency finds no saving, nothing is lost. The customer is still insured for delivery and the deal proceeds as built.
Why it works when discounting doesn’t
When a customer says “that payment is too much,” they usually mean their total month is too much. Cutting the price of the car to fix it costs the store gross and still leaves an overpriced premium untouched. Finding the money on the insurance side is different:
It protects gross
The bump comes from a lower premium the agency actually found, not from the dealership giving up money on the vehicle to force a payment to fit.
It unsticks the step-up
The customer stuck between the base model they can “afford” and the vehicle they actually want is often only stuck on the total. Free real money on coverage each month and the vehicle they wanted can fit inside the same total they walked in prepared to spend.
It answers the payment objection with a fact
Before the desk discounts, trades numbers, or loses the deal, check the other half of the customer’s car budget. A real placed premium beats arguing over a guessed one.
The customer still wins if they don’t step up
Not every customer bumps. Some keep the vehicle they picked and simply pay less for coverage every month. Either way they leave with a better monthly picture than they walked in with, and they remember which store did that for them.
How sales says it“Before we lock in numbers, let me have our insurance agency partner shop your coverage. They represent a bunch of carriers and place whichever one’s best for you. A lot of people are budgeting way more for insurance than they’d actually pay. If they find you a lower premium, that’s money back in your month, and it might make the vehicle you really want fit comfortably. Want me to have them run it while we finish up here?”
WORKED EXAMPLE · THE BUMPILLUSTRATIVE
What the customer walked in expecting
Insurance they had budgeted$400 / mo
Car payment they thought fit$500 / mo
Total month for car + coverage$900 / mo
After the agency shops the quote, before F&I
Coverage the agency actually placed$200 / mo
Found on insurance, back in their budget−$200 / mo
Same total month, now leaves for the car$700 / mo
Total month for car + coverage$900 / mo, unchanged
Same $900 total the customer already planned to spend. Same bills covered. But now the car side of it is $700, not $500, enough to step up to the more expensive vehicle they actually wanted, without their month getting any heavier. That is the bump.
EXAMPLE MATH ONLY · NOT A QUOTE, RATE, OR GUARANTEE. ACTUAL PREMIUMS AND SAVINGS VARY BY CUSTOMER, CARRIER, AND COVERAGE, AND SOME CUSTOMERS WILL SAVE LESS OR NOTHING.
An honest bump, or no bump. This is not payment packing and it’s never presented that way. The customer sees both real numbers, the vehicle payment and the premium the agency actually placed, and chooses where the saving goes: a bigger vehicle, or a smaller month. The saving is never invented, estimated into the deal, or promised before the agency finds it; if the shopping finds nothing, the desk says so. Sales introduces and sells the car. The agency, and only the agency, shops, quotes, and places the coverage.
Who does what
Three parties. Clean lanes.
Most referral arrangements fail on blurred roles: who promised what, who contacted whom, who got paid for which outcome. PSL draws the lines in writing before the first referral moves.
The dealership
Introduces · never sells insurance
Offers the introduction in F&I with an approved script, or earlier, on the sales floor
Sales can use it to bump the payment: run the agency’s shopping before F&I, and any premium saving the agency actually finds frees room in the customer’s total monthly budget for a more expensive vehicle, without discounting the car to get there
Captures consent on the PSL intake: the buyer names one agency, a broker, and consents to that agency alone
Receives the binder & policy documents from the agency when the policy binds, ready for the deal jacket, delivery, and funding
Gives its own customers a better buying experience: insurance handled in the same visit, with no extra trip, no homework, and no delay at delivery
Earns a flat referral fee per delivered referral, paid on the referral, not on any policy
The agency, the broker
Shops carriers · quotes · binds · owns the customer
Staffs the queue with licensed producers in rotation
Texts from its own registered line: the agency is the name the buyer consented to, and the only name they consented to
Shops the quote across its carriers, the carriers the agency represents, and places whichever is best for the customer. No separate consent to each carrier is needed, because the agency does the shopping on the customer’s behalf
Quotes and binds like any customer relationship: the buyer is theirs
Sends the documents back to F&I on bind: binder, proof of insurance, and policy details with the lienholder listed correctly, sent directly to the dealership so the deal can close cleanly
Pays a flat fee per accepted referral, never contingent on a bound policy
PSL
Routes · records · never touches coverage
Runs the queue and the clock: routing to the named agency only, timeouts, acceptance. Never to a carrier, and never to a second agency
Keeps the consent and suppression records for every referral
Closes the document loop: makes sure the bound policy’s binder and documents actually reach F&I, and reconciles billing for both sides
Holds the compliance line: windows, opt-outs, and the referral-only boundary
Compliance, in plain English
Built like the audit is coming, because it might.
Referral businesses live or die on the details regulators actually check. PSL’s rules aren’t a policy page; they’re wired into how the queue behaves.
Consent before contact. Always.
No referral moves without a recorded authorization that names the agency, a broker, the buyer will hear from. The consent runs to that agency alone: it does not name, and does not need to name, any carrier the agency may shop on the customer’s behalf, because quoting and placement are the agency’s licensed work after consent. The disclosure the buyer saw, including that buying a car never depends on accepting the introduction, is stored with the timestamp.
The state Public Service Commission bars solicitation calls before 8 a.m. and after 8 p.m., and all day on Sundays and legal holidays. Consent captured outside the window is held. The queue fires when the window opens, not when it’s convenient.
12 AM8 AM · WINDOW OPENS8 PM · CLOSES12 AM
Permitted contact window, Louisiana (Monday to Saturday, non-holiday). After-hours consent waits for morning.

Texts come from the agency, in the agency’s name
Carriers reject third-party lead-gen messaging and consent shared between companies. So first contact goes out under the agency’s own registered brand and number, the exact name in the buyer’s consent. PSL never texts buyers as itself.
Any reasonable revocation ends contact. PSL treats all of these as an immediate, permanent opt-out, applied platform-wide the moment it arrives:

Billing, without surprises
A flat fee for a referral. That’s the whole model.
The fee is paid solely on the basis of the referral, the same amount whether the buyer binds a policy, keeps shopping, or never answers. That separation is what keeps the fee a referral fee, and keeps everyone’s incentives clean.
What’s billable
A referral delivered to an accepting producer: consent recorded, right agency, inside the window
The dealership’s payout accrues on the same event: one billable moment, defined once, in writing
Fallback delivery inside the same agency: if the first producer times out, the next producer’s acceptance is the billable event. Same referral, billed once
What’s never billable
Data defects: a wrong number, a duplicate, or a record that doesn’t match the consent is credited, not argued
Outcomes: an unanswered phone or an unbound policy is not a defect. Credits are for bad data, never for results
Anything outside consent: a referral that reached anyone other than the agency named in the consent is not a referral. It’s a breach, and it’s free
One definition, everywhere. The billable event, the payout trigger, and the credit rule are the same sentences in the dealership agreement, the agency agreement, and the platform’s own ledger, so a month-end reconciliation is a comparison, not a negotiation.
The pilot
Start with one store. Grow inside the network.
PSL launches as a single-dealership pilot with one named agency as the broker, deliberately, so every consent, every contact, and every dollar can be checked by hand. From there, partners grow with the founding network as it expands store by store: agencies aren’t betting on one store, and dealerships aren’t building a one-off workaround.
Step one01
Agreements signed
The dealership and the agency sign partner terms covering roles, the flat fee, the billable event, data handling, and who carries what liability. Nothing routes before signatures.
Step two02
The agency’s line registered
The agency’s texting brand and number are registered under its own name, producers are loaded into the rotation, and the queue is tested end-to-end with demo referrals.
Step three03
F&I and sales trained, script approved
A fifteen-minute session: the offer script, the intake screen, the early on-the-floor version sales uses for the payment bump, and the one rule that matters, the buyer chooses, every time. The return path is wired up too: when a policy binds, its binder and documents land directly in the deal jacket.
Step four04
Live, watched daily
Referrals flow. PSL reviews consent records, contact times, and credits daily during the pilot, and both partners get the full ledger: every referral, every outcome, nothing sampled.
For agencies & producers
Buyers who asked for you by name, while they’re still at the store.
Growing with the founding network. You don’t join PSL for a single store. PSL is building a founding network of dealerships and connects you to them as it grows: in-store buyers from across the network, through one relationship and one queue.
Buyers at the moment of purchase. These aren’t internet leads clicked days ago. The customer is at the dealership right now, buying a car right now, and needs coverage to drive it home.
Intent doesn’t get higher. The buyer just bought the car, needs coverage to drive it, and chose your agency at the desk.
Your name is the consent. Buyers agreed to hear from your agency specifically. Your first text is expected, not an interruption.
You do the shopping you’re licensed for. PSL never picks the carrier. Your producers run the quote across your appointments, the carriers your agency represents, and place the best rate for the customer. That best-rate shopping is exactly why dealers value the introduction: a better premium helps their customer say yes to the car.
Speed is the whole game. The queue puts the referral in a producer’s hand in seconds, with accept-and-go simplicity. No list to work, no portal to babysit.
Your part of the loop is simple. When you bind the policy, send the binder and documents straight back to F&I. That one step is what makes you invaluable to the store: you make delivery and funding easy for them, so they keep introducing their customers to you.
Flat and predictable. One fee per accepted referral, credited when the data is defective. Your cost per opportunity never depends on whether a policy binds.
Questions
Asked by dealers, agents, and compliance officers.
Is PSL selling insurance?
No. PSL is a referral and routing platform. It never quotes, shops carriers, selects coverage, or gives insurance advice. Licensed producers at the agency named in the buyer’s consent, a broker, do all of that, including deciding which carrier to place the customer with. The line is the business model, not a disclaimer.
How is the dealership paid, and is that legal?
The store earns a flat fee per delivered referral, paid solely on the basis of the referral itself, never tied to whether a policy is quoted, bound, or renewed. Louisiana’s referral statute (R.S. 22:1598) was amended effective August 1, 2026; PSL’s flat-fee structure and written partner terms are built around the current text, and the pilot’s regulatory questions are being put to the Department of Insurance directly.
Who contacts the buyer, and from what number?
A licensed producer at the agency named in the buyer’s consent, from the agency’s own registered line. Carriers do not allow third-party lead-generation texting or consent passed between companies, so PSL never messages buyers and never lends its name to a campaign.
What does F&I actually get back, just proof of contact?
Much more than that. Proof of contact only says someone reached out. What F&I needs to finish the job is a bound policy’s documents: the binder, proof of insurance, and the relevant policy documents with the vehicle and lienholder listed correctly. When the customer binds, the agency sends those directly to the dealership for the deal jacket, so delivery isn’t delayed, the lender’s insurance requirement is satisfied, and funding isn’t held up waiting on paperwork. PSL’s referral record (consent, acceptance, first contact) is kept alongside it for compliance, but the documents are the point.
How does this improve the customer’s buying experience?
Instead of being sent away to arrange insurance on their own and return with paperwork, the customer handles it in the same visit: one introduction at the store, one conversation with a producer at the agency they named, coverage bound, documents sent straight to the store. And because that producer works for a broker, the coverage is shopped across the carriers the agency represents for the best rate it can place. A lower premium leaves more of the customer’s monthly budget available for the car payment itself. No extra trip, no carrying documents back and forth, no sitting in the delivery lane wondering if they can take their car home. The dealership makes its own customers’ purchase painless and seamless, and a customer who is already at the store, ready to drive off, keeps the momentum of that moment instead of losing it.
What if the first producer doesn’t respond?
The referral rolls to the next producer inside the same agency, the only place the buyer’s consent allows it to go. The first acceptance is the billable event, the referral is billed once, and the full timeout trail is in the record.
What does the buyer actually agree to?
To be contacted by one named agency, a broker, about insurance for the vehicle they just bought. That is the entire consent. They do not agree to be contacted by any carrier, and no carrier gets their information from PSL: the agency’s producers shop those carriers on the customer’s behalf after the introduction, the way a broker works for any client. The disclosure states plainly that the introduction is optional and that the purchase doesn’t depend on it. The exact wording they saw is stored with their consent record.
Who chooses the insurance company, and on what basis?
The named agency’s licensed producers choose, never PSL, and never the dealership. The agency is a broker that writes through multiple carriers, so its producers run the customer’s quote across those carriers and place whichever one is best for that customer: the best rate they can find for the coverage that fits. The customer’s only decision at the desk is the agency; the carrier shopping is the agency’s job from there.
Can the insurance quote happen before F&I?
Yes, and that’s often where it helps most. With the customer’s consent, the agency can shop the quote while the deal is still being built, before the F&I office finalizes the paperwork. If the premium comes in lower than what the customer had budgeted for insurance, the savings free up room in their monthly picture, money that can make the vehicle they actually want fit comfortably alongside their other bills. It turns insurance from a last-minute obstacle at delivery into a tool the sales team can use early, honestly: the savings are whatever the agency’s shopping actually finds for that customer, no more and no less. See For Sales: the payment bump above for the full play.
How does sales actually use this to bump a payment?
Start on the sales floor, not in F&I. While qualifying the customer, find out what they pay, or have budgeted, for insurance, then offer the introduction to the agency. With their consent, the agency’s producers shop the carriers it represents while the deal is still being built. If the placed premium comes in below the customer’s budgeted figure, the difference is freed monthly budget. The worked example on this page is illustrative only: a customer budgeting $400/mo for insurance has coverage placed at $200/mo, and that $200/mo can go toward the vehicle payment instead, so a customer who thought a $500 payment was their ceiling can carry a $700 payment on a more expensive vehicle and spend the same total per month, with their other bills still covered. The desk uses it three ways: to step a customer up to the trim or vehicle they wanted first, to answer a “payment’s too high” objection without discounting the car and giving up gross, and to unstick a deal caught between two vehicles. It is always the customer’s choice where the saving goes, both numbers are shown plainly, and if the agency finds no saving there is no bump. The example is illustrative; savings vary by customer and are never promised in advance.
Is the payment bump just payment packing with a new name?
No, it’s the opposite. Payment packing hides costs inside a payment. The bump starts from a real, placed premium the customer can see, quoted and bound by the agency’s licensed producers, compared openly against what the customer had budgeted for insurance. The vehicle payment and the insurance premium stay as two separate, visible numbers; the customer decides whether any saving goes toward a more expensive vehicle or simply lowers their month. Nothing is estimated into a deal before the agency actually finds it.
When can the agency call or text?
Inside Louisiana’s permitted windows: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., never Sundays or legal holidays, per the Public Service Commission’s do-not-call order. A consent captured at 8:40 on a Saturday night is routed when the window opens Monday morning. The record shows both timestamps.
What happens when a buyer says stop?
Contact ends, everywhere, immediately. STOP, QUIT, END, REVOKE, OPT OUT, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, and any other reasonable wording, all count, and the number goes on a platform-wide suppression list that outlives any single campaign.
What does the pilot cost to start?
Pilot pricing is set in the partner agreement: a flat per-referral fee with data-defect credits, no setup games and no outcome-based charges. Talk to us and we’ll walk the exact numbers for your store’s volume.
Who owns the customer relationship?
The agency. PSL routes the introduction and keeps the consent record; the carrier shopping, quoting, binding, servicing, and renewals are the agency’s book of business. The dealership keeps its buyer relationship for the next vehicle. PSL keeps neither. It keeps the receipt.

Run it before F&I and a premium saving the agency finds can free budget a customer puts toward the vehicle they actually want, at the same total month they walked in with. Your customers consent to one agency, the agency shops its carriers for the best rate it can place, coverage binds in the same visit and they drive off. Your F&I office gets the binder and documents back without chasing them, and agencies join a founding network built to grow store by store. If you run a store or an agency in Louisiana and want the pilot brief, the full flow, the fee structure, and the compliance file, ask for it.
