How does the post-sale warranty process actually work for commercial appliance and equipment dealers?

The post-sale warranty process allows dealers to offer protection plans to customers after equipment has already been delivered and installed. Dealers provide customer and equipment information to CPS, who then handles all outreach, enrollment, and administration.

Many commercial equipment dealers miss out on warranty revenue because most customers decline coverage at the point of sale. Post-sale marketing recovers a portion of those missed opportunities, turning past transactions into new profit and helping businesses protect their equipment as real-world usage and downtime risk become clear.

• Dealers supply customer/equipment data – Typically via POS export, batch upload, or API
• CPS contacts customers – U.S.-based team delivers education and coverage offers
• Customers enroll eligible equipment – Usually within the first year of operation
• Dealer receives revenue share – For each protection plan sold post-sale
• No sales team changes required – Dealers continue normal operations while CPS recovers missed revenue

Based on CPS dealer data, post-sale marketing can increase overall coverage penetration by 5–12% and recover up to 15% of previously missed warranty opportunities.

Why is offering extended warranty coverage after commercial equipment is delivered and installed challenging for dealers in real-world operations?

Many commercial equipment dealers find that offering extended warranty coverage after equipment is delivered and installed is more complex than it looks because the original sales window has closed, and customers are focused on daily operations rather than add-on services. Coordinating post-sale outreach, tracking eligibility windows, and engaging decision makers can be difficult—especially when managing high-ticket commercial appliances across multiple locations or business units. This creates real friction, as dealers risk losing both revenue and control over the service experience if they don’t have an efficient process for recovering missed warranty opportunities.

• Commercial equipment dealers often lose track of eligible customers once equipment is delivered and installed, making coordinated outreach difficult
• Eligibility windows for post-sale coverage can be missed if dealers aren’t consistently capturing and submitting customer data
• Operational staff and decision makers may have shifted focus to daily business needs, making them harder to engage about new coverage
• Multi-location or multi-unit deployments create complexity in tracking, communication, and enrollment for warranty offers
• Without a structured process, most dealers fail to recover missed warranty sales—leaving significant profit on the table
• Service expectations remain high even if coverage wasn’t purchased upfront, so missed opportunities can impact future customer relationships

How do experienced commercial equipment dealers actually recover missed warranty revenue after installation?

Many experienced commercial equipment dealers take a proactive approach by using structured post-sale marketing programs to recover missed warranty sales after equipment delivery. Instead of relying on sales teams to revisit every past transaction, they partner with providers who handle customer outreach, track eligibility, and present coverage options during the optimal ownership window. This approach is effective because it captures customers when they’re most aware of operational risks and repair costs, resulting in higher conversion rates and new revenue from existing sales—without disrupting day-to-day operations. CPS program data shows that structured post-sale follow-up increases overall warranty penetration and recovers previously lost profit.
