The Comma Professional Partner Programme (PPP) was launched over a decade ago as an innovative new platform for Comma to empower and engage directly with professional service technicians through the quarterly ‘Professional Partner News’.
The Professional Partner Programme focuses on introducing and explaining Comma’s advanced new technologies in its core product sectors of engine and transmission lubricants, coolants, brake fluids and maintenance chemicals.
With the emphasis on how independent workshops can harness Comma’s leading technology and information to compete successfully against franchised dealerships, the Programme delivers added value initiatives and profit opportunities enabling technicians to provide a superior customer service experience.
To accommodate greatly expanded content and functionality, the Comma Professional Partner Programme has now migrated online to the password-protected portal for technicians at www.commaoil.com/ppp – but its original aims and objectives remain the same; to help independent workshop professionals work more productively and profitably.
On sign-up, technicians have instant access not just to Comma’s leading VRN applications – which now has enhanced new technical messages on specific recommendations via the portal – but also to a wealth of new features and training tools that have been developed specifically to advance technical knowledge and business skills.
A new revenue calculator shows how to enhance every vehicle service opportunity, and a points reward scheme has been introduced towards earning a range of free Comma branded work-wear, service disposables such as seat covers and floor mats, plus a range of informative wall posters, customer service wallets and stationery.
It’s all on the Professional Partner Programme portal of the Comma website, and independent distributors around the UK have full details of the Programme.
Technicians can register for free and immediately become a member by visiting www.commaoil.com/ppp. Thereafter, when accessing the portal, they can accumulate valuable points for all kinds of online activity – everything from performing VRN application look-ups to completing training modules and entering monthly competitions with prizes such as Apple iPads.
