FAQs

Who should complete the training?

We highly recommend sharing the training materials with everyone on your team involved in the program- including admins, sales teams, and installers.

Can I conduct marketing?
  • Refrain from actively marketing or advertising for customer acquisition. You may share or repost your involvement but must not engage in direct marketing. 
  • Do not engage in direct outreach, such as door-knocking or cold calling. 
Should I discuss payment options and finance with the customer?
  • Vendors must not discuss any details surrounding the CommBank finance products on offer, if a customer has a finance question, please direct them to CommBank website here.
  • Under no circumstances should a CommBank lead be converted into an alternative finance agreement- any breach will result in immediate suspension. 
  • Do not initiate cash purchase discussions and only provide this option if requested by the customer. 
  • Do not engage in surcharge conduct- pricing must remain consistent regardless of payment method (e.g. finance vs cash).
  • Never disclose or pass on the VCF CommBank Marketplace Service Fee to customers. This fee should be factored into referral costs and must not appear as a seperate charge on invoices or quotes.
Where can I direct customers if they ask about CBA products?
Will Brighte finance be on offer, as well as CBA?

No, this program will exclusively offer CommBank finance products.
