The PDS 10th Annual Summer Agents’ Meeting was a great success! Held at the Diplomat Country Club & Spa in Hallandale, Florida, June 20-22, agents from across the country met with the Premier sales and management teams.
A highlight of the meeting was Premier’s launch of its new Premier Essential VSC program. This exciting new product offers more competitive pricing, greater flexibility and significantly more marketing support for agents and dealers. Agents who attended the conference are already looking to install this at their dealerships.
Each year at the Annual Agents’ Meeting, Premier Dealer Services awards its Star Partner Award for the previous business year. This year that award went to Dealer Associates, Incorporated and was accepted by Tony Fincannon and Rick Messinger.
Other sessions featured updates to existing and new programs, a new menu selling option and guest speaker and humorist Nick Arnette.
A blend of business and fun was experienced by all attendees. In addition to the PDS Annual Golf Tournament, some guests enjoyed time at the beach while others experienced South Beach. Evening events featured a Jimmy Buffett-style reception and a dinner cruise aboard a luxury chartered yacht giving PDS team members and our partner agents an opportunity to relax and enjoy camaraderie and new experiences.
Please mark June 18-20th, 2008 on your calendar. The beautiful oceanfront Surf & Sand Resort located in Laguna Beach, California will be the venue for our next Summer Agents’ Meeting. See you there! |
