SITUATION
A critical way the
auto finance division examined the relationship with the
automobile finance managers was whether a
particular finance
manager considered this bank
his/her primary source of loans or a secondary
source. More specifically, did the
automobile finance
manager send all the auto dealership's credit applications to this bank or
just those that had been rejected by other
banks?

was giving a larger percentage of their
business, or

for whom the bank was a secondary source of
loans and was giving a smaller percentage of
their business?
