WORLDPAC sales incentive

For the month of Jan -- we want to know who is selling WORLDPAC items ... Store Managers have prize sheets for each staff member. What don't you know about WORLDPAC --now is a great time to become a better expert on WPC

ps - sorry --corrected the proper way to say WORLDPAC ( using all Cap's ) - thanks for the comment from someone. It is funny how often I see CARQUEST shown in lower case as well- like on magazine web sites ( these guys should know better ) My news years resolution - all caps' for WPC ...:-)

Dorman training

There is a web site - click here to enroll for Dorman window parts training

Comments on how effective you saw this training is appreciated - either post here or mention at the next staff meeting.

Change EOD Status

Make sure whoever opens on Thursday, December 27th and Wednesday, January 2nd changes the EOD status. If you don't EOD will not run for those nights. Any questions call me!

Search-Autoparts

we signed up for a free e-cat lookup - called search-autoparts ( the web site is sponsored by several USA trade magazines ) and is powered by "The Catalog Rack" -a speed & custom e-cat provider

Please tell us what you think of it --for log-in instructions see your Plaxo address book for Search-Autoparts. Comments appreciated as we work our way thru this to see how much it helps

Payroll

I will be doing month end payroll on Thursday, December 27th. Make sure all sick/vacation days are reported before then. Make sure timesheets are here for first thing in the morning. Managers if you will be away make sure you let me know so I can get cheques signed and delivered.

POS Terminals

I have put a schedule for running off the POS terminals during the holidays in each of the managers mail slots at D&T. Please make sure that this gets posted and is followed. Thank-you.

Rainy Day Jobs ???

Want some rainy day jobs -- go thru the wheel bolts or thermostat gaskets --and order single qty's from the super store. If you order from the warehouse --you have order FULL PAC QTY's -- not a problem for more popular items - but for slower moving sku's - a waste of money.

lick on the image --to see same slow moving gaskets

Always confirm with your store manager - to make sure someone hasn't already started this job

new E-Cat data ???

If you look at the brakes section in web-link - you might be seeing the new data from the next gen e-cat ... but at first glance it needs to be cleaned up big time -- click on the image to see -- the older sections are much better 'grouped' -- I am sure you will see it get fixed asap -- but give Greg H the feedback and post feedback on the link.

Att'n Sales People

CCH K80244 is an up and coming number.It fits rear late model Dakota.They were being done under warranty but most are out of warranty now.It is a poorly made plastic item.Do show and tell with with your garages and they will start to look for it.We have done the same with K7406 and K7471 which are both problems.(caravan and neon).Call me and I will give you the scoop on both.We are getting call backs from accounts now because they have had success and are putting extra $ in our jeans and theirs.
