Yamaha to award prizes for passing training course

KENNESAW, Ga. – Yamaha has begun offering prizes to sales professionals employed at authorized Yamaha Marine dealerships who pass its new online product-training course, the company said in a release this week

The course, which is called “Why Is Yamaha Your Best Investment,” is available on the Yamaha Marine Business System, the company’s dealer communication portal.

“To ensure dealers make the most out of the new training opportunity, Yamaha is offering dealer’s employees the chance to win a number of valuable prizes,” said Martin Peters, Yamaha Marine Group manager, dealer education. “Sales pros employed at an authorized Yamaha Marine dealership who achieve an overall passing score (80 and above) on the product training course will be automatically entered in a drawing to win one of the ten great Yamaha products.”

First prize is a Yamaha C3 Scooter, and other prizes include a Yamaha Sound System. Names will be drawn at random on May 1, 2009. Only one entry per qualified sales professional is eligible.

Dealers can go online under the “education” tab on YMBS and use the product-training module as a refresher for the seasoned employee or to train new employees.

All necessary training materials, including workbooks are available online. There is no charge for the module or the training materials.

“We are proud of these training modules, educational resources are another advantage of being a Yamaha dealer,” said Peters “Education has never been so easy or so efficient.”
