What is the most important service your firm provides?
While Turn Automotive has several standout features in comparison to our market, the most important service we provide to dealers is a trade-in process with guaranteed overs that dealers can use to win trades and sell more cars.
What have been the most significant challenges your company has overcome to get to this point?
COVID-19 and the market volatility that it brought by far has been our biggest challenge. We started this business to solve a problem in a stable market that was pre-pandemic, and in the last 2 years, it has been anything but stable. However, we see that changing rapidly now and we certainly welcome it
How crucial is the company team you have in place, and how does it separate you from competitors?
All businesses, and yes even tech businesses, are only as good as your people. We have a devoted, tireless team that makes the impossible come true all the time. They are the engine running our machine and they are awesome.
We are still relatively small compared to our competitors so the people we have working for us are a part of building this business from the ground up. They not only talk to the president or vice president but work with them all day, every day whereas some of our competitor’s employees might not have ever even met their president or anyone in the C-suite before. It is obvious that our team loves the startup challenge as much as we do!
