PROS ELITE 100 Dealers Surpass $1.3 billion in Total Revenues 

The PROs Elite 100 Dealer Network and  its selection of the first 68 markets have resulted  in a group  of  dealers  that  have  combined  total  revenues  of  over  $1.3  billion.   There’s  an overwhelming  response  from  dealers  to  become  a  part  of  PRO’s  Elite  100  program  whichbenchmarks  the best  service organizations  in  the United  States  and  then  turns  that dealer’sservice  excellence  into  the  ultimate  differentiator  in  their market  place  to  drive  equipment sales.  

“The return on investment a dealer receives, from our initial on site assessment of their service organization,  is  enough  to  make  a  dealer  an  Elite  customer  for  life”  says  Jerry  NewberryPresident of BEI Pros and the Managing Partner of the PROs Elite 100 executive team.  “Once we  finish  the  on  site  assessment, we  have  identified massive  productivity  and  profitabilityopportunities  in  100%  of  the  cases.  We  then  develop  custom  designed  action  plans  andexecution oversight to insure the dealers’ realize the opportunities we identify.  Upon a dealer achieving the PROs Elite 100 certification, they receive the benefit of having exclusivity as theonly  PROs  Elite  dealership  in  their market  .  In  addition,  the  PROs  executive  team will  then develop  a  powerful  national  and  local marketing  campaign  outlining  the  committment  thisdealer  has made  to  ensure  they  provide  a  level  of  service  that  is  unmatched  by  any  othercompetitors within their market.” 

“Our  virtual  sales  call, where we  participate  in  the  sales  presentation  to  our  dealers’  salesprospects accounted  for over $20,000,000  in equipment  sales  for our  first group of  certifiedElite 100 dealers in the first 12 months”, said Steve Rolla a partner in the PROs Elite executiveteam.  “This is the most significant activity I have ever been a part of in my 40 year career.  We are positioning 100 dealers  in North America  to have  the  competitive  advantage over megadealers and direct organizations.” 

International Reach “The PROs Elite 100 program has extended into the international arena as well with dealers in

Australia and Canada , with ongoing conversations with other dealers in those regions and even Europe ,” said Jeff Kelly a partner in the PROs Executive team.  “Utilizing Service as the ultimate differentiator in a selling environment is more important than ever in this challenging economic environment.” 

Selection Process “We slowed the selection process up to catch up with the demand for certification from the first 40 dealers we selected,” said Newberry. “Recently, we have made tremendous investments in developing a designated web site for our Elite 100 dealers to drive their customers to. The sole purpose of this web site is to provide a resource in which PROs Elite dealers can have their current and potential customers understand the commitments the dealership has made to achieve this prestigious status and the benefits a PROs Elite 100 customer will receive.  We also brought in a Service/Operations and IT expert to drive our PIVOT (Performance Improvement Operations Tool) software which helps us audit our Elite 100 dealers’ service performance on an ongoing basis.  Dealers like how we become their ongoing conscience and coach and not their critic. When we see a slip in execution we quickly go into a coaching mode with the dealer and bring their performance back to the PROS benchmarks.    

The selection process for the remaining markets will begin again in August, “said Rolla. “ Severalcandidates have been recommended to us by manufacturers, other PROs Elite 100 dealers, and other suppliers.  “Regardless of size in total revenue or the product they sell in the market.  We have dealers with sales of $2 million and as large as $80 million in the first group of dealers we selected, said Rolla. “All credible dealers will be considered with a process that begins with avery  low key conference call where we explain  the process  for certification. We  then ask  thedealer to consider the commitments they will have to make to become a part of this Elite group and we begin our due diligence on the dealer.  After the discovery and evaluation process with the candidate, we then choose either to move forward or go our separate ways. Dealerships areselected or not selected based on specific criteria and performance thresholds, it’s that simple.We  then  translate  these  service  improvements  into  a  vehicle  that will  utilize  service  as  theultimate  differentiator  in  the  market  and  as  a  source  for  increased  revenues  and  overallimprovements in GP.  For dealers who would like to find out more about the selection processfor  PROs  Elite  100,  please  contact  one  of  the  PROs  executive  team members  via  the  emailaddresses listed below.
