A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A PEDEGO DEALER
As a Pedego Dealer, becoming a part of a thriving community that celebrates the joy of riding is only the start! Take a look at the new opportunities for excitement, adventure, and connection that a typical day might bring:
8:00 AM - Morning Kickoff
You unlock your shop and walk the showroom, checking that the e-bikes are charged and ready for test rides. Settling in with a cup of fresh-brewed coffee or tea, you casually browse the latest ebike trends or review some new customer inquiries, reveling in this leisurely start to what’s about to be another great day!
9:00 AM - Opening Time
The front doors are open, and the customers are starting to arrive. This can only mean one thing: the real fun is about to begin! A few seasoned riders stop by to ask about the impressive new helmets and baskets they saw on your personal dealer site, while some beginners looking to purchase ebikes for the whole family check out what you have in stock. You guide each and every one of them through their options, answer their questions, and offer test rides–happily watching while their curiosity transforms into excitement.
11:00 AM - Ask the Experts
A customer who purchased from you last year stops in for their annual service and shares how much they’ve been enjoying their ride. Others arrive, eager for the expertise that you and your team love to share. You do a tune up and perform some maintenance checks, ensuring that every ebike leaving your store is ready for its next adventure.
1:00 PM - Better Together
Refreshed from lunch, you decide to turn your attention to your local community-building events. Last month, you organized a stellar group ride that ended in a picnic at the local beach; this week, you’re thinking about designing and hosting a workshop on at-home maintenance. The freedom to choose is all yours, and you look forward to fostering bigger and better connections with the customers who will become your best brand advocates and ambassadors.
3:00 PM - Share and Connect
You hop on your store’s socials and upload a few photos that one of your favorite customers shared with you of their multi-day ride through a state park, sharing your thoughts about the add-ons and customizations that made this trip possible. After a quick review of your inventory and some preparation for an upcoming promotion, you follow up with other riders to provide updates on the anticipated arrival of their gear. You’re amazed at how quickly your store has grown and how connected you feel to the community around you.
4:00 PM - Afternoon Reflections
