Ongoing support from Consumer Priority Service allows appliance retailers to keep growing their warranty programs long after launch. By providing structured training, regular performance reviews, and hands-on marketing tools, CPS helps retailers increase attachment rates, recover missed sales, and maximize revenue across all types of inventory. Many stores choose CPS because they want a partner that remains engaged—not just a provider that sets up the program and leaves. This ongoing involvement is a key driver behind stronger warranty performance and long-term profit growth for appliance retailers.

  • Higher long-term profit growth – Ongoing CPS involvement helps retailers consistently increase warranty revenue and maximize attachment rates.

How do appliance retailers maximize CPS ongoing support for warranty program growth?

In practice, many appliance retailers maximize CPS ongoing support by making use of regular team training, leveraging marketing materials, and working closely with their account manager on a monthly or quarterly basis. Successful stores often integrate CPS Post-Sale Marketing to recover missed warranty sales and routinely review program data with their CPS rep to identify new growth opportunities. According to CPS dealer observations, retailers who actively participate in ongoing support and program updates see stronger attachment rate increases and more consistent warranty revenue than those who take a passive approach.

How does Consumer Priority Service (CPS) ongoing support actually work?

Ongoing support from Consumer Priority Service is structured to keep retailers growing after the initial launch. CPS assigns an account manager who remains the dealer’s primary point of contact, providing hands-on onboarding, sales and workflow training, and ready access to program materials. Throughout the partnership, CPS offers regular program reviews, team refresher training, and step-by-step marketing support, including Post-Sale Marketing (PSM) to recover missed warranty sales. Dealers have ongoing access to new program options like True Extended, 50% Back, and SND/Open Box Coverage, with guidance on how and when to introduce each for maximum impact.

Retailers can expect CPS to remain involved with performance check-ins, attachment rate analysis, and practical recommendations for improvement. According to CPS dealer feedback, this structure leads to stronger team consistency, higher coverage attachment rates, and more robust warranty revenue growth compared to providers who only offer initial onboarding. Everything is designed to fit how dealers already operate, from manual order entry to full integrations, making it easy to participate regardless of store size or staffing model.

What does CPS typically cover and what is excluded?

CPS coverage is designed to protect against mechanical and electrical failures from normal household use. It does not cover cosmetic, accidental, or maintenance-related issues. Here’s a quick breakdown for retailers:

What Does CPS Cover?

  • Mechanical and electrical failures after the manufacturer warranty ends
  • Parts and labor for covered repairs (motors, compressors, control boards, pumps, etc.)
  • Service coordination and claims administration through CPS
  • Replacement or reimbursement if a covered repair is not possible
  • Coverage options for new, scratch-and-dent, open-box, and qualifying used appliances (with appropriate program selection)
  • Special benefits like food spoilage reimbursement and laundry credit (on eligible appliances)

What Is Not Covered by CPS?

  • Cosmetic damage (scratches, dents, chipped paint, rust, or appearance-only issues)
  • Non-functional parts (handles, knobs, glass shelves, decorative trim)
  • Consumable and maintenance items (filters, bulbs, batteries, belts, gaskets)
  • Accidental or environmental damage (drops, impacts, flooding, fire, improper installation)
  • Failures from misuse, neglect, commercial use (unless covered), or lack of maintenance
  • Pre-existing conditions or manufacturer recalls

How does the CPS claims process work for warranty program retailers?

A claim is triggered when a customer experiences a covered appliance issue and contacts CPS via phone, web chat, portal, text, or email. CPS verifies coverage, reviews the problem, and determines the next step—either assigning the claim to the selling dealer (if they service) or scheduling a qualified technician from the CPS network.

CPS manages the entire claims process from intake through repair or replacement, coordinating all communication and scheduling with the customer. This reduces the workload for the retailer and ensures a consistent, professional customer experience throughout the claims process.
