SUMMARY:Virtual Learning Session with Deric from KriTech Solutions
DESCRIPTION:EAudit\, ReKEY\, Diminished Value & Total Loss\, Let Kri-Tech Solutions’ ease your admin work.  \nESTIMATE AUDIT software take care of it for you! Within just a minute or two you can generate a detailed report\, itemizing the difference between your Repair Plan / Estimate and the insurance or 3rd party’s estimate. The report will show you immediately what they missed. Use the report as a supplement report to get paid on the items they forgot or left off or simply give it to your customer as an itemized list of what their insurance covered and what the customer is responsible to pay.  \nLet ReKEY take on the frustration and time-consuming process of re-keying or transferring estimates for you. ReKEY\, is a locally installed software solution that copies and matches PDF estimates directly into ALL major estimating systems. \nDiminished Value: This data empowers consumers to assess not just a car’s purchase worth\, but also its potential value depreciation post-accident\, known as Diminished Value (DV). \nTotal Loss: Are you tired of wasting time on vehicles that you know will be deemed totaled? For a nominal fee\, take those gruesome total loss estimates off your plate and save your shop time & money in the process. Let one of our professionals handle these estimates virtually so you can get back to work that pays! \nInterested? Join us at 5:30 CST using the link below. \nMy apologies\, Deric had an emergency and Larry is stepping in…here is the new link for the 5:30 Seminar today https://v.ringcentral.com/join/larry.grossaint
