Winners of the Dealers Choice Awards are selected based on votes cast by qualified dealers either online or attending the show and recognize the best products in five categories: handheld, wheeled, powersports/recreation, accessory/attachment and business services.
"We are very excited to have Footsteps, our powerful lead management tool, selected as the best new product in the Business Service category by outdoor power equipment dealers," said Roy W. Olivier, President and CEO of ARI. "When we acquired Channel Blade Technologies earlier this year, we believed that Footsteps would help our group of more than 20,000 customers, both dealers and manufacturers, grow their businesses. When used in combination with WebsiteSmart Pro(TM) and SearchEngineSmart(TM), our dealer website and search engine marketing solutions respectively, dealers can turn qualified leads into sales more quickly. We are honored to receive this recognition from the people who use our products and services every day," concluded Olivier.
"We started using Footsteps a little over a month ago to complement WebsiteSmart Pro and we started seeing results immediately," said Pat Lyons, President of Pat's Power Equipment, Charlestown, RI. "Within just a few days of our training, we had an entire lead management program in place that gave our sales team an efficient, easy-to-use way to respond to all of our leads and reach out to customers on a regular basis," added Lyons.
"The purpose of the Dealers Choice Awards is to provide dealers with the opportunity to vote for those products and services that can add significant value to their businesses. We want to reward the companies that listen to dealers' needs and develop the products and services that specifically meet those needs, helping to make businesses in the Outdoor Power Industry stronger and more profitable. We are happy to recognize ARI and Footsteps as this year's winner in the Business Services category," said Dan Shell, managing editor of Power Equipment Trade magazine.
