Dealer Testimonials:
Dan Weisheit, Summer Breeze Pool Supply, Fayetteville GA
Hi, my name is Dan Weisheit and when I got into the pool business, I kind of went off
the deep end. It all started about eight years ago. I was working in the computer field
and making a decent living but something was missing. Now, I consider myself more of a
people person than a gear head, so I decided to get my feet wet in the pool business. I
noticed Fayetteville didn't really have any BioGuardŽ presence. So instead of opening
one store, I opened two at the same time. BioGuard got me started, helped with a product
knowledge, industry education and the store locations. Now that's what I call customer
support.
When I joined the BioGuard family, I received more than just pool chemicals. I got the
kind of educational support that helped grow my business. I send all my employees to
Chem College and they come back with not only the basic understanding of pool chemistry
but they are exposed to every product and new technology in the field. There's no other
way to keep up with the vast array of the BioGuard product line without attending these
educational classes. A more informed employee leads to a more informed pool customer, which
leads to greater customer loyalty and long term profit.
BioGuard does more for my business than fill my shelves with product. Thanks to ALEX, I
can spend less time working the water testing program and more time on my customer. Now
I can talk to my customers while the water is being tested and help diagnose the problem
they are experiencing.
BioGuard Co-op program is an easy way to promote seasonal deals with useful tools like
direct mail post cards, customized radio and brochures. And don't forget BioGuard's Dealer
Mart. Once a year, I attend seminars, learn about new products, discover new trends and
catch up with some old friends.
Thanks to BioGuard my future looks bright. I just opened another store and have started
our initial entry to spa sales. It's new territory for me and I'm ready for the next
challenge. No one has done more for my business than BioGuard. They continually support
my efforts with marketing materials, a competent sales force and customer service that help
me keep doing what I love.
Todd Visser, Zagers Pool & Supply, Jamestown MI
Hi, I'm Todd Visser and I guess you could say my love affair with the pool business started
when I was fifteen. I had a part-time summer job at Zagers Pool & Supply and it sure beat
bagging groceries at the supermarket. I continued working there every summer all through
college. When I graduated, I quickly found myself back at Zagers. Things were going
well, until the owner decided to retire. Since I loved this business, I took the next
logical step. I teamed up with a business partner, Ryan Miedema, and bought the store.
I'm not just the owner of a pool supply store. I'm a dream maker. And I consider the
backyard my empty canvas. This job allows me to be creative. And thanks to BioGuard, I
have more time to do so. Išve been with BioGuard since the early nineties. Now, my
chemicals are streamlined. Itšs much easier to track inventory and I have a better
understanding of my product.
Now my business was really starting to pick up. It was doing so well, that in 2001, Ryan
and I expanded and remodeled both stores. We installed a SWAS unit in both stores (SWAS, or
store within a store, is a complete merchandising system that helps organize and market
my inventory) and appreciate how theyšve helped us sell.
BioGuard is so much more than a chemical company. They provide marketing and merchandising
material and user-friendly technology that sells itself. What's more, I send my employees
to Chem College and they learn everything there is to know about this business. Who ever
heard of a chemical company doing all that?
Susan and Kenny Payne, Payne Pool And Spa, Culpepper, VA
This is a love story.
And it starts on a horseback riding ranch in a rural area outside of Washington
DC in 1973. We were fixed up on a date and have been best friends and partners
ever since.
Shortly after we were married, we were building pools. This quickly turned into
a thriving pool care business. We started carrying BioGuard in our stores and
haven't looked back. From the very beginning of our relationship, BioGuard has
nurtured our business with a comprehensive product line, education support, sales
tools, water testing technology such as ALEX and everything else we needed to
grow our business. It was true love and we were in deep.
Throughout our relationship, BioGuard has prepared us to meet many challenges. When
we were looking to expand, BioGuard helped us find the perfect store location. When
the local Wal-Mart went up in the area, BioGuard showed us how to compete. In a
short period of time, we started picking up unsatisfied Wal-Mart customers. They
showed us how to train our employees. With a staff of 17 people, 26 during peak
season, every employee has some form of training so that every customer who walks
through our door will be helped within thirty seconds of entering. Our job: to
deliver ice blue crystal clear pool water to our customers and leave them with
knowledge to do it themselves.
And let's not forget about DealerMart. Every year we learn about education, keep
up to date on safety standards, technology and find out about the business before
the customers do. It's absolutely an essential tool to stay current and be
successful in this business. Chem College is another way our employees stay
informed. Over a two-day conference they learn about the entire line of BioGuard
products, upcoming marketing campaigns and promotional events, as well as details
about water testing, balance and chemistry. Our staff gains the confidence to turn
casual shoppers into loyal BioGuard customers and really help our business grow.
