CARQUEST Link - we can trip up ourselves



Yep -- we all HATE the CARQUEST Link -- but this dislike can trip us up -- sure--the USA guys have something that at least LOOKS like it belongs on the year 2000 while we are stuck in 1990's looking internet .... but lets look at what we might have forgotten

1) REMEMBER that we do NOT get any reminders ( the red number indicating NEW unread items ) like we get in classgrams and below .... so for announcements and promotions -== we have to click --and wait ( yep - slow server ) ---and look to see if anything is new

2) REMEMBER --if you only go to the link once a week--the HEADLINE items fall off after 2-3 days --we have repeatedly urged CARQUEST to fix this ... but ... they are here today and not tomorrow - if you see something of interest -- PLEASE tell your fellow staff members as a nice gesture.

3) REMEMBER ---well - not a remember --this is NEW for me .... see the larger image -- at the BOTTOM of the promotions is an upcoming FUTURE PROMOTIONS info --- gee ... I have been in CQ since Jan 2004 --this is new for me -- normally at the bottom of the page is just OLDER stuff .... I will have to watch for this

Now --some house keeping points
-the 6 battery display info WAS posted in early March .... and no one from any of our stores found it ...that doesn't speak well of our training to READ the link --even if it does SUCK --we have to get better at READING ..... myself especially
-the U1 and marine promo is posted ( see point made on UPCOMING PROMOTIONS ) - we have urged CQ to remind their staff ( since it was unknown at the meeting yesterday by a CQ rep ) ... we all need to improve our ability to find data on the link
-the inof on e-sales and WPC sales have bad links - I have asked them ?? they either posted by mistake and we are not intended to see this or they are getting there data out faster ( I think the first is the fact ... but will see)
