Hendrickson's Pro-Genuine™ Affiliation Program Delivers Technical Backing and Marketing Support
ITASCA, Ill. — Hendrickson recently unveiled the Pro-Genuine™ technical and marketing support program for truck service facilities installing Hendrickson Genuine Parts.

Pro-Genuine affiliation delivers an extensive array of tools to assist professional truck service providers to enhance customer satisfaction including comprehensive training of technicians, technical support, marketing materials and promotional offers.

“The Pro-Genuine program creates a unique partnership with professional truck service providers installing genuine Hendrickson aftermarket products, especially spring and suspension specialists,” reports Guy Vachon, Hendrickson director of aftermarket.

Hendrickson supplies a self-study Hendrickson truck suspension and service training course in textbook and web-based formats, aimed at both the parts counterperson / parts manager and shop technician / service manager functions.

A network of Hendrickson regional service managers provide ongoing technical support and training assistance to affiliates, and a toll-free phone line brings access to technical support and training materials.

Marketing tools include a listing in the shop locator feature on the Hendrickson website and coordinated point-of-sale materials which include an LED message board and sign, door decals, counter mats, logo caps, bay banners, wall flags and mouse pads. The program will also offer periodic scorecard-based promotions.

Enrollment fee includes program administration and all materials with Hendrickson subsidizing program supplies at less-than-cost. Plans call for additional subsidized promotional elements including outdoor illuminated signage.

Service suppliers throughout the world rely on Hendrickson Genuine Parts knowing that fleets and owner operators trust genuine parts to deliver the same consistent performance, durability, design and construction as original Hendrickson suspension components.
