Powersports University Passes Some Milestones In Dealer Training/Posts Survey Form


Irvine, CA - March 29, 2012 - A record number of dealership personnel and other industry professionals enrolled in a PowersportsU training course during the holiday season. Spurred by new coursework from Küryakyn and incentivized with some swag such as new iPad's, the ranks of Powersports University course graduates surpassed 5,000 in December. In fact, more than 300 students passed the Küryakyn courses in that month alone.

       "More students, more graduates and a more elevated level of professionalism were the direct result of Powersports University's 'Gift That Keeps On Giving' sweepstakes," notes PSU "Dean" Eric Anderson. "Certainly the graduates of these interactive on-line training modules understand that selling more effectively in these tough times requires better training... it also requires you to do a better job of displaying, merchandising and selling products than the competition. Of course the incentives offered by the participating brands are nice perks to pass the training courses as well!"
        Speaking of swag, the pros at PowersportsU are proud to announce the winners of the incentive program that ran through the holidays. These lucky industry people were automatically enrolled each time they completed three courses for any of the participating brands through December 31st. The winners were then notified in late January and presented with their prizes during the Dealer Expo in Indianapolis in February.

  • Shannon Clapham, JMP Cycle Kawasaki, Wood River, IL

       "We are not done, by any stretch of the imagination," adds Anderson. "Education is a process, not a one time event.
