How it works
- Once a test drive is booked, agent sends a secure pre-qual link that submits a soft-pull — no credit impact, clearly disclosed.
- If completed, retrieves the approved range and terms from the lender API and confirms them before arrival.
- If not completed within 24 hours, calls to complete the soft-pull verbally with consent.
- The outcome — approved range, terms or declined — is written to the CRM deal record so F&I has terms ready at the desk.
