November 2008...

Power Place has achieved the Gold Star Dealer Certification

Criteria:

From the moment you enter a John Deere dealership displaying the Gold Star symbol, you can be sure you're getting the best customer assistance from every committed person who will be working with you. Achieving Gold Star status is not a one-time certification; Gold Star dealers must maintain compliance with all requirements, pass on-site reviews and comprehensive recertification audits. Remember, Gold Star is not an award, it's a promise.

John Deere realizes that building the highest quality of commercial and consumer equipment is not enough to create the total ownership experience that our customers deserve and that we as a company strive to provide. It takes much more than that. Your most direct experience with John Deere occurs at your local dealership. John Deere's Gold Star program recognizes those dealerships who excel in providing customers with the total John Deere ownership experience

The Gold Star program evaluates dealerships in five functional areas:

Sales & Marketing
Customer Support
Operational Management
Retail Environment
Employee Development

A Golden Experience:

While visiting a Gold Star dealership you will be greeted by a courteous and knowledgeable staff that is committed to providing solutions to your lawn care needs. Gold Star dealerships must exceed facility and personnel standards in order to ensure the highest quality of customer satisfaction.

As a customer in a Gold Star dealership, you can expect a sales process and retail environment that undergoes continual review and updating to better meet your needs.

They also strive to ensure customer satisfaction after the sale by attempting to contact all customers shortly after their purchases in order to assure that customers' needs have been fulfilled.

Service After the Sale:

Gold Star dealers are required to participate in annual John Deere training programs focused on technical and professional excellence.
