Background STORY
AP Wagner started the Profit Express™ about 8 years ago. We
began answering phones as a service to a single customer in central
PA. This company, Beiters located in Williamsport PA had sold parts
to retail customers for many years and had a strong customer demand.
However they were closing their parts department and only planned to
carry the parts they needed to do their own service work. They no
longer wanted to sell parts over the counter to retail consumers.
Why? They felt they were losing money due to the labor involved,
excessive returns that turned into old inventory on their shelves
and the time and energy involved in special orders.
AP Wagner decided that we would answer their telephone calls
for them, using their name and share the profits with Beiters. This
allowed Beiters to continue to satisfy their retail consumers while
eliminating the headaches that Beiters had with inventory and
special ordering. This program was an immediate success and we began
to slowly expand it to other appliance companies. In March of 1999,
we named our program Profit Express™ and began to market it
nationwide.
Today we answer the telephone for over 400 partner appliance
companies using their name and that number continues to grow. In
August of 2002, we signed an agreement with Tritronics Inc. from
Baltimore Maryland to offer consumer electronics parts to our Profit
Express™ partner dealers. The 5 major appliance-buying groups in the
US authorize our Profit Express™ program for their member
stores.
We are intentionally expanding our program at a very slow
and controlled rate. Our primary objective has been and continues to
be our ability to exceed expectations of the consumer with our
exceptional service levels. We have perfected all aspects of the
program to deliver results on a much larger scale. We have a state
of the art telephony platform on which we can customize
announcements and call treatments per our customer's needs. We have
also eliminated AP Wagner's name from all facets of this program
including announcements. This entire package allows us to provide
flawless support on all levels to all of our customers using this
service.
The Profit Express™ program has proved to be a tremendous
success for all of our customers involved.
