Red light
Declined. Lead walks out.
Platform moves on.
Purpose-built for after the decline

Every decline starts red. We make it green.

Your F&I desk declines 30–40 customers every month. Every platform you own was designed for the ones who said yes. Not one has a workflow for the recovery journey between the red light and the funded deal. Until now.

The red light problem

Every tool you own
was built for the green light.

VinSolutions. DealerSocket. Reynolds. CDK. Every platform in your stack was designed for approved customers. Not one of them has a workflow for what happens after the decline. No recovery process. No follow-up. No system. Potentially six figures a month in gross walking out the door — without a tool built to bring it back. Run your numbers below.

"Dealers write these deals off as total losses the day the customer walks out. We built the system that brings them back."

Abdul Sene · Founder, GTAC Financial

The red light becomes
the green light.

Greenlight is the structured recovery journey between those two moments. Every step tracked. Every milestone measured. Every dollar attributed.

We performance-tested Greenlight with one million leads on a single rooftop and two million platform-wide. Every interactive screen came back in under half a second. When your book of business grows, the platform won't blink.

Our $400 success fee only exists when a deal funds. A subscription alone doesn't make Greenlight work for us — recoveries do. Our incentives sit on your side of the table.

Every consent is presented, attested, and audited. Every estimate is labeled an estimate. The dashboard never shows a number it can't defend — recovered revenue is attributed to real funded deals only.

What are your red lights actually worth?

Three assumptions, your projection — not a promise. The return figure includes Greenlight’s full cost: $2,499/mo plus the $400 success fee on every funded recovery, at full price — your first 90 days cost half that.

Monthly declines
Every customer who applied for financing at your store this month and did not get funded — desk declines plus credit-app declines. High-volume stores run into the thousands — slide all the way to 10,000.

Assumed recovery rate
The share of declined customers you expect to bring back to a funded deal through the 97-day journey. Around 10% recover on their own — a structured programme is built to beat that. Model conservatively.
