Sales managers and representatives of Fiat, Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), have been charged to seek new opportunities in the wake of economic challenges in Ghana and Africa to develop the Group\u2019s brand<\/p>\n
“Through crisis there is an opportunity to grow,” Salvatore Leotta, FCA Sales Area Manager told key sales persons who converged at Tanink Headquarters at Tema Community 12, venue for the historic two-day commercial training course.<\/p>\n
“Out of the ashes of World War came the need for a light weight, all-terrain utility vehicle -the Jeep- produced to assist US soldiers conquer their enemies.\u00a0 And they conquered. Since then, the Jeep SUVs have become the legendary household names in the automobile industry,” Leotta reminded the participants from Ghana, Nigeria and Senegal.<\/p>\n
Chrysler Automobiles has been adjudged one of the world\u2019s biggest automobile company.<\/p>\n
“It is not an easy period. I know there is economic crisis in Ghana and everywhere in the world but I strongly believe it is during this crisis period that we can grow,” Leotta challenged the participants.<\/p>\n
He said that was the first time such a training course had been organised in the West African Sub-region so that the sales representatives, who are the faces of the various brands, would be equipped with the necessary information that will benefit the end user.<\/p>\n
“Training and sales behavior are fundamental in this type of business; our duty is to give you cars but at the end of the day, it is the sales representatives who put their faces behind those cars.<\/p>\n
“The reason why we are here is to develop together and make us the best in what we do,” he pointed out.<\/p>\n
He said even though Tanink has created a standard worthy of notice, the political stability and Ebola-free status chiefly contributed to the choice of Ghana as hosts of the course.<\/p>\n
Tanink Ghana\u00a0who are the exclusive franchisee of American luxury and utility cars in Ghana,\u00a0only recently outdoored the\u00a0latest models of a number of high end vehicles \u2013 the Dodge Durango, Dodge RAM, Chrysler 300C, Jeep Grand Cherokee to name just a few.<\/p>\n
Mr Klogo praised the synergy between Fiat and Chrysler vehicles, adding the commercial training, the first to be held outside Europe and America is to “update knowledge of commercial and sales representatives” and to “fight competition and liaise better.”<\/p>\n
He said the training is also to impact sales of Jeep, Fiat and Chrysler vehicles especially in Africa.<\/p>\n
On the general purchase behaviors of automobile lovers, Mr. Klogo would rather have people buy brand new vehicles which tend to be cost effective and safer compared to second hand vehicles.<\/p>\n
Steven Klogo, Director of Public Affairs of Tanink said the company is seeking to open brand new show rooms in Labone and Kanda to cater for customers\u2019 needs in Accra.<\/p>\n
“We are investing heavily to make us more accessible to our customers,” he indicated, adding “as we continue to grow our customers can only expect the same level of quality and attention to detail Tanink is known for.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
Indigenous company, Tanink Ghana, is the official dealer of Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Iveco vehicles in Ghana.<\/p>\n
