The clock is ticking and with under three months to go, construction is still on schedule. The concrete work is still the primary focus.

As of July 3rd (20) out of a total of (45) walls had been poured and are curing. The remaining (25) walls are being formed, the footings are being excavated and formed for the next concrete pour which is scheduled for Thursday 10 July.

Once the walls and footings have all been poured and cured, the walls will then be tilted up into place on top of the appropriate footings with a very large crane.

Stay tuned to the Dealer Go-News for monthly progress updates & photos until the big move East in September.

"Who's Who" in Customer Service at Patmont Motor Werks
by Gabe Patmont

As PMW has steadily grown and matured as a global company with world class transportation products, it has become very important to have a world class Customer Service department to match.

PMW is proud to introduce the following top notch CS team dedicated to making sure dealers and customers alike are happy they chose the Go-Ped Brand.

(photo left to right: Blaze Smith, Ashley Jones, Margaret Kille, Dave Lindsay, Tim West, Brian Todd, Angela Sobrero, Steve Barnes, Scott Bolton, Anne-Cecile Moratin)

Anne-Cecile Moratin
PMW Marketing Director and Customer Service team leader

"AC" came to PMW through its Go-Ped® Europa connections. She was trained in International marketing in Dublin Ireland which helped her to create amazing Go-Ped® marketing results in Europe, all from her post in California. Her success is through her excellent customer service skills. As these are the exact elements that PMW needs to maintain its global scooter leadership, "AC" was asked to manage US Go-Ped® Customer Service as well. Her attention to detail causes her to be one of the first in and last to leave her desk, and she was selected as one of PMW's employees of the year in 2001 and 2002.

Scott Bolton
PMW Marketing Associate

Scott is multi talented with several years of actual Go-Ped® dealership experience. He has been with PMW since 2000 in various roles that give him special technical qualifications for dealership and customer service details. Scott manages the Dealership Training seminars, Trade show details in Europe and USA, Shop Manual publishing, Dealer Go-News editor, and he sets up new dealers. PMW and its customers are very fortunate to have Scott's special customer service touch on this PMW team.

Margaret Kille
PMW Customer Service

Margaret is the newest member of our CS Team, but comes to the Go-Ped® family with many years of Customer service training and experience. Her background is from the high tech hardware and software industry and she was previously in Hewlett Packard's Customer Service Department. Margaret has already brought much expertise to improve our current CS procedures and is an excellent Go-Ped® customers’ advocate, rapidly learning the many detailed technical issues that come with our unique transportation products.

Tim West
Accounts Receivable / Customer Service

Tim is the important person that processes the daily invoices and orders received on the PMW Go-Shop electronic ordering system. He works closely with the credit card banking industry, the Go-Kredit Office, PMW shipping department, and customers that need any help he can give them. Tim's excellent Customer Service, and "smooth under pressure" skills were developed in the banking industry where he has many years of experience.

Ashley Jones
US and International Customer Service

Ashley originally answered all of our important incoming phone calls here at PMW, and became quite proficient at helping customers with whatever needs they might have. She demonstrated desire to help customers with her very friendly, kind and professional technique made her a perfect fit on our Customer Service team. She has also learned quickly under Anne-Cecile’s direction in the very complicated International customer relations and order processing and attends to shipping detail in countless countries around the globe.

Steve Barnes
Sales and Technical Support Specialist

Steve, also known in IGPA Go-Ped® racing circles as "Dough Boy", has a natural talent at helping Go-Ped® dealers and customers. He has extensive retail experience and excellent customer service background that is greatly enhanced by his Go-Ped® repair and racing experience. This has qualified him as one of the main "go to" guys with our extensive Go-Ped® product line, whenever technical customer service questions arise . Steve also runs the factory Go-Shop, and is becoming a strong influence with the ever improving Go-Gear selection of clothing and safety equipment available from PMW's online Go-Shop.

Brian Todd
PMW Shipping Department Manager

Affectionately known as "B-Dogg", Brian is another one of our important "customer servers." Though he and his crew may not work directly with customers very often, they are the ones responsible for satisfying customers with the Go-Peds and parts they have ordered. Though still searching for "perfection," PMW is proud of its shipping success rate, and short lead times of a very high percentage of items sold here. Due to Brian and his crew's tireless, enthusiastic, and sometimes heroic efforts, we know that PMW is not only this industrys leader in customer shipment satisfaction, but a model for many other industries as well.

Dave Lindsay
Go-Kredit Manager

Dave is one of PMW's most experienced customer service professionals, and was previously with IBM Credit for 10 years. He helped PMW set up the very innovative Go-Kredit department that he manages specifically to help Go-Ped® Authorized dealers (PMW's only customers) purchase their orders using their Go-Kredit account. This gives qualified dealers the ability to order to their credit limit, on terms that give them a 2% discount, and 30 days to pay without a finance charge. Dave excels at managing this system, and will be happy to set those dealers up that have not yet taken advantage of this great PMW customer service system. Contact Dave anytime at LindsayD@goped.com

Go-Ped® Warranty and Technical Service

Ron Fortenbury

Ron, a long time Go-Crafter and Go-Ped® Family Member has been recruited to contract out the US Go-Ped® Warranty system from his central National location of Omaha Nebraska. Among Ron's many separate qualifications, he is an excellent business man, founder of the IGPA, IGPA race director, and original five star authorized Go-Ped® dealer. Ron has also been handling the Go-Ped® Tech Line for quite some time now. His professional demeanor, and desire and skill result in positive outcomes with customers and dealers alike, exactly what the Go-Ped® Brand stands for.

 

Blaze Smith

One of our most enthusiastic GoCrafters, and one of our most qualified technicians, Blaze has several years experience in Warranty credit and technical customer service details. Previously in Go-Ped® repairs, Blaze is also a professional Go-Ped® Mechanic for Scott's Motorsports, and keeps several of the pro team Go-Ped® riders in the front of the pack at IGPA Races and high over the Robo Ramp at Team Go-Ped® Demos. His competitive desire to help any customer's technical problem become a positive outcome is what helps set PMW apart from its competition.

Angela Sobrero

Telephone receptionist and Warranty registration data entry

Angela is very efficient at directing your important incoming calls to the right person and is the first person a caller usually talks to when contacting PMW. She also inputs into the computer the data from hundreds of Warranty Registration forms that are returned to PMW daily. This important information then can efficiently serve to help any warranty requests from customers or dealers.

The R & D Team is progressing nicely with the all new and much improved Go-Ped® Electric. The optimistic sales team hoped for a 2003 Summer release date, but fortunately R & D/ Engineering are realist, and would like a couple more months of testing to insure that PMW offers the highest quality and most reliable Electric scooter on the market.

We will be introducing a Beta program prior to the first production run. This will give those of you who sign up a chance to help out with the R & D and give us your input.

For those of you that have been anxiously awaiting the New Go-Ped Electric, thank you for your patience and dedication.

Stay tuned!
