What's the Difference: Short-Form vs. Full Application
The short-form application is quick and low-friction — it's built to get a payment quote fast with minimal information. The full application is there for deals that need more detail, such as a co-signer or a more complex deal structure.
Q: Which one should I start with?Most deals only need the short-form application to get moving. Start there, and move to the full application when the deal calls for it — for example, when a co-signer needs to be added.
Q: Can my sales team start applications themselves?Yes. Your salespeople can start an application and check its status themselves, without waiting on a finance manager to tell them where a deal stands.
Q: What happens after an application is submitted?If your CRM is connected — SelectFI integrates with DriveCentric, VinSolutions, and others — the lead and its data flow in and get tracked automatically, with no re-keying needed. When it's time to structure the deal, SelectFI builds the desking sheet for you, consolidating everything in one place.
