CEO

Message Valued Dealer Partners, Over the last 18 months FP has been making large investments in, and changes to, our overall business. We have been rigorously reviewing every facet of our company in order to identify areas of improvement and ways we can provide greater value to our dealer partners and our customers. Communication is integral to the success of any business. Knowing this and that our Dealer partners are an extension of the FP Brand, we knew we had to further develop our communication to our dealer channel.

In 2015, we began a dealer communication improvement process with the introduction of the FP Quarterly Dealer Webinar, Dealer Connect meetings in Addison, and overall enhancements to the platform with which we communicate to our dealer network. In 2016 we added the annual Dealer Summit and more importantly, made changes to our Marketing leadership with the addition of Stephanie Triggiani. She brings with her knowledge of how to partner with and communicate to a dealer distribution network, and we have big plans in this area. The next step for us in our improvement process is the introduction of this dealer newsletter.

Communication is vital to the success of our partnership, and is one of the pillars that FP will be built on as we move forward. We know that it isn’t always easy getting communications to the right people – Dealer Principals, Sales, Service, Operations and Administration. By distributing this newsletter out regularly, we hope to be able to have a communication piece that will be shared openly with all dealer employees and customers alike. Something that will add value quickly, but spur ideas, dialogue and inspiration. The opportunity for success in front of us is huge, and with communication, this opportunity Thanks,is ours for the taking.

Enjoy the newsletter!
