Dealers and P.C.s Now Get Free Shipping

You asked for it, and here it is – Dealers and Preferred Customers now get free shipping on qualifying orders. This move helps you reduce your costs, simplify business, earn new customers and retain current customers, ultimately boosting your bottom line. New shipping and discount rates take effect Jan. 8, 2018.

We adjusted the discounts we offer on Dealer orders to help you save. As the table below shows, orders less than $350 ($450 Can.) pay a flat shipping rate of only $11.99 ($13.99 Can.). Historically, you had to calculate shipping based on product weights. The new flat rate simplifies your business and helps you more easily provide accurate, fast quotes for customers. Orders above those thresholds receive free shipping, further simplifying business. Also, the threshold for qualifying for a 10 percent product discount has been reduced to $9,000 ($10,250 Can.) to counterbalance Dealer and P.C. sales that may shift from you, the sponsoring Dealer, directly to AMSOIL due to free shipping.

New Dealer Zone

The AMSOIL Dealer Zone is undergoing major renovations this year. It will feature an updated, more responsive design (allowing it to be automatically resized to fit screens of any size), a streamlined contact form (to route your questions to the right personnel for quicker answers), updated search functionality and improved navigation. The existing version of the Dealer Zone will still be accessible for 90 days during the transition.

New Business-Building Resource for Dealers

Over the past several months, we've committed to simplifying the Dealer opportunity for new Dealers and helping them hit the ground running. For example, we recently introduced changes to Dealer memberships, including the new Dealer Kit. The Dealer Quick-Start Guide (G3472) that comes with the kit answers new Dealers' basic questions and provides guidance during the early stages of their business.

To provide additional support, we've created the Dealer Game Plan. It's a 30-page PDF document housed in the Dealer Zone that builds upon the foundation established in the Quick-Start Guide. The Dealer Game Plan provides instructions on setting business goals, the AMSOIL Buy-Sell Process, building a prospect list, using social media and other important steps in starting an AMSOIL business. It includes a list of activities new Dealers should complete at their own pace and on their own schedule. Links to important resources in the Dealer Zone and on amsoil.com are included throughout for maximum convenience. We designed the Dealer Game Plan not only to provide Dealers direction for building their business, but to inspire them to realize the success they envisioned when they signed up.

Spend some time reviewing the Dealer Game Plan to familiarize yourself with its contents. Though designed for new Dealers, long-time Dealers may find it helpful for jump-starting their businesses, too. Use it in your recruiting efforts and share it with new Dealers in your personal group. If they have questions, work through it with them. Click the Dealer Game Plan icon on the Dealer Zone homepage at myaccount.amsoil.com to download copies.

The Ea15K20 Oil Filter will soon incorporate minor changes to its flute design and baseplate. Moving forward, the GA264 Filter Wrench will no longer fit the Ea15K20. The GA251 Filter Wrench is recommended in its place. The performance and applications for the Ea15K20 remain unchanged.
