AMSOIL to Extend Training Tour to California
AMSOIL is extending the Dealer Training Tour into California in 2016 due
to popular demand. The Dealer Development group will conduct meetings in two
California locations on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2016.
The size of California and the challenging logistics of conducting one
meeting to accommodate all of the state’s Dealers necessitates holding two
meetings on the same day, one in Pleasanton, Calif. and one in Anaheim, Calif.
In addition to Dealer training meetings, each location will be the site of an
AMSOIL business opportunity meeting for anyone interested in becoming an AMSOIL
Dealer.
AMSOIL Business Opportunity Meetings
Invite your current catalog customers, Preferred Customers or others who
may be interested in an independent business opportunity. AMSOIL corporate personnel
will present information on AMSOIL products, the AMSOIL Dealer Program and the
corporate support system. These meetings will also include successful AMSOIL
Dealers sharing their personal stories on how they built their businesses.
AMSOIL Dealer Training Meetings
These meetings are for registered AMSOIL Dealers of all levels, including
anyone attending a business opportunity meeting who opts to become a Dealer. The
training will be focused on professional Dealer skills, concepts of the AMSOIL
common buy-sell process and practical Dealer training by sub-market. The
meetings will also identify exciting new tools now available to assist AMSOIL
Dealers in growing their businesses.
Meeting Schedule
Saturday, Feb. 20
9:30-11:30 a.m.
Saturday, Feb. 20
1:00-5:30 p.m.

2016 Direct Jobber Convention
The 2016 AMSOIL Direct Jobber Convention will be held Oct. 6-8, 2016 at
the Marriott Waterside Hotel in beautiful Tampa Bay, Fla. The Marriott
Waterside is a 5-star hotel with a marina right out the back door. Come sit on
the back patio and watch the boats go by as you sip your favorite beverage and
visit with other AMSOIL Direct Jobbers and AMSOIL corporate staff. Attend the
corporate presentations to learn where AMSOIL is going over the next few years.
Take a stroll on the Tampa Riverwalk, also conveniently located just out the
back door of the hotel. Be part of the fun as AMSOIL Direct Jobbers (maybe
you!) are recognized for reaching higher levels of achievement and simply enjoy
the warmth of the Florida sun.
AMSOIL has secured a block of rooms for Direct Jobbers at a competitive
rate of $168 per night. Because the hotel is located in downtown Tampa Bay,
parking is at a premium. If you fly into Tampa Bay International Airport,
taking a taxi to the hotel is advised. The hotel is only nine miles from the
airport and estimated one-way taxi fare is $25. Due to limited parking in the
area, we recommend staying at the host hotel. If you decide to do some
sight-seeing on your own, the street car can pick you up right outside the
front door of the hotel and take you to places such as the Tampa Bay History
Center, Channelside Bay Plaza (shopping and dining), the Florida Aquarium or
Ybor City (described as the French Quarter of Tampa Bay).
If you decide to stay elsewhere and drive to the hotel, parking rates are
$24 per day, but for AMSOIL Direct Jobbers staying at the hotel, parking
is $12 per day.
If you wish to access the Internet from your room, we have negotiated the
price from $12 per day to only $1 per day. For the price, convenience and
camaraderie with other AMSOIL Direct Jobbers and AMSOIL corporate staff, you
just can’t beat staying at the host hotel in downtown Tampa Bay.
Keep watching for exciting news regarding the Convention’s social events
and travel incentives. We look forward to seeing you in Tampa Bay Oct. 6-8 for
the 2016 Direct Jobber Convention.

European Car Formula Evolves
The European Car Formula Synthetic Motor Oil labels are being revised
slightly, removing the focus from SAPS levels and placing it on something
easier for customers to understand: emissions system protection. The European
Car Formula products will be referred to as the following:
Labels reflecting the changes will begin appearing as inventory of
European Car Formula products with current labels is depleted.
In addition, five-liter packaging is discontinued and available while
supplies last. Affected European Car Formula products are available in gallons effective
Dec. 1.
European Car Formula 5W-30 Improved ESP Synthetic Motor Oil (AEL) has been
reformulated and now covers these additional specifications:
· Chrysler MS-11106
· ACEA C3
· dexos2™
The new formulation will be available in quarts and drums once the current
formulation sells out. Forecasts predict the current formulation to last
through January. Watch the Dealer Zone for an announcement of availability. The
new formulation is available in gallons effective Dec. 1.
European Car Formula 5W-40 Classic ESP Synthetic Motor Oil (EFM) now
carries the following additional manufacturer approvals:
· MB-Approval 229.5
· Porsche A40
See the December AMSOIL Magazine
for more information.
AMSOIL Launches New Lead-Handling Process
On Dec. 1 AMSOIL launched a new process to nurture leads who request
information about AMSOIL. This process affects all customer and Dealer leads
and was carefully designed to improve conversions and maintain the prospect-Dealer
relationship.
The new process uses automated marketing software to nurture leads and
pass them onto T-1 Certified Dealers when they convert to paying customers or
AMSOIL Dealers. It’s important to note that leads who indicate a specific Dealer
when they make contact with AMSOIL will be handed off to the Dealer they
reference once they convert. Dealers will be able to see Dealer lead
information, but we ask that Dealers keep in mind that leads are automatically
receiving nurturing emails from AMSOIL and that additional emails may be
considered spam, potentially causing Dealers to lose Dealer leads.
For an explanation of the new lead-handling process, see the October AMSOIL
Magazine. More information will be available in the December AMSOIL
Magazine.
AMSOIL University Online Launches Jan. 4
On Monday, Jan. 4, 2016 we will launch AMSOIL University Online, a
training site exclusive to AMSOIL Dealers. The eventual home of all training
activities, AU Online will be an around-the-clock resource, easily accessed
through the Dealer Zone. The site will immerse Dealers in sales, technical and
marketing training, business-building strategies and more. AU Online will
launch with a handful of training presentations and continue to grow with
regular updates and new training material as it is developed. Ultimately, AU
Online will offer the same comprehensive training Dealers received at the
four-day AMSOIL University formerly held every May in Duluth, Minn. and more.
Join us Jan. 4 by logging into the Dealer Zone and clicking on the AMSOIL
University Online link on the homepage.
