Friday Afternoon, 3:45 PM — 15 Minutes Until Closing
A customer walks in wanting to finalize a vehicle purchase. Your F&I manager is on the phone with another client. Your sales rep doesn't know if this customer needs additional documentation for their specific situation.
Without Surtn
The customer waits 20 minutes. The deal is at risk. Your F&I manager is frustrated. Your sales rep feels helpless.
With Surtn
The sales rep asks Surtn. Gets FICA requirements in 5 seconds. Customer is prepared. Deal closes on time. Customer leaves happy. Your KI wasn't interrupted. Friday is still good.
