Earned.   Not Awarded.

Dealerships cannot buy Marine Industry Dealership Certification; they must earn it.   To earn Certification, dealerships must demonstrate their commitment to excellence by meeting benchmarks and standards in key areas that affect dealership quality:

• Customer Satisfaction
• Professional sales, service, parts and follow-up processes
• Employee training, development and satisfaction
• Technical training
• Facility and grounds upkeep and competitiveness

Program participants are evaluated in each of the above areas by an independent third-party consultant.   To maintain Certification, they must recommit and be reevaluated every year.
