How does CPS Post-Sale Marketing actually work for appliance retailers?

CPS Post-Sale Marketing (PSM) is a revenue recovery program where Consumer Priority Service contacts customers who purchased a product but declined warranty coverage at checkout. CPS uses customer and transaction data provided by the retailer to identify eligible customers and then directly manages all follow-up outreach, sales conversations, and administration. This means the dealer does not have to run their own campaigns or dedicate extra staff to post-sale efforts.

Retailers receive monthly commission payments for every successful warranty sale made through CPS Post-Sale Marketing. All reporting, customer tracking, and revenue tracking are handled through the CPS dealer portal, making it easy to see the impact and results over time. This approach lets appliance retailers monetize missed opportunities and create a passive, recurring revenue stream from their existing customer base.
