Connection Corner by TBC/National Tire and Battery

Service vehicles running to and from calls are essential to the success of your business. Do you have a scheduled-maintenance program for your fleet? If not, dial into the next Connection Corner hosted by TBC Corporation, Thursday, Sept. 19, from noon to 12:30 pm EDT. During this webinar you will learn how a scheduled-maintenance program can save you time and money while prolonging the life of your fleet.

TBC Corporation, who owns National Tire and Battery (NTB), Tire Kingdom, and Merchant’s Tire will host this connection corner. They will share tips on proper vehicle maintenance and how their automotive centers provide fast, hassle-free car care and complete tire services. Don’t forget all SGI members and their employees are eligible for special discounts and rebates on all their purchases through TBC’s NTB, Tire Kingdom, and Merchant’s Tire locations. 

Everyone that participates in this webinar will be entered a drawing for a $50 gift card.

SGI members can save 8% off all their HomeAdvisor purchases and can also earn rebates—but they must be flagged as an SGI member.

I was recently out in Denver conducting our quarterly business review with HomeAdvisor and we were amazed with the tremendous growth our program has had since Q3 2017. SGI members have purchased $6,380,410 of HomeAdvisor leads from Q3 2017 through Q2 2019 which is more than a 39% increase over the prior period! When we were looking at the number of actual SGI members listed under our program, we only had 199 members flagged as SGI accounts.

Both HomeAdvisor and I know we have more members utilizing their services than this number indicates. Unfortunately, that means that members are missing out on the 8% discount and rebates. If you are using HomeAdvisor and didn’t earn any rebates or are interested in learning more about their services, registering for the SGI program is simple and easy—see the steps below.

Fire Safety/Fire Prevention Week is Sunday, Oct. 6 to Saturday, Oct. 12!

Our latest ESI Partner, USI Electric, reminded us that this is an excellent time to remind homeowners of this important week. Kids are heading back to school, families are starting to stay indoors more, and unfortunately home fire deaths increase—especially as we get closer to the holidays.

This year’s theme is Not Every Hero Wears A Cape. If you would like more information regarding Fire Safety/Fire Prevention week, click here.

And don’t forget to share these important safety reminders brought to you by USI Electric:

  • Test your alarms weekly. Clean your alarms monthly (see attached graphic)
  • Replace smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms before they reach 10 years old

If you would like to learn more about USI Electric and their great rebate program with us, please visit their resource page on SGI Partner Network’s YourSGIHUB.

And remember to fill out a Preferred Partner Connection Form, PPCF, which helps both USI and SGI Partner Network know where you are purchasing your USI product from. This helps ensure you earn every rebate dollar you deserve.

As always, SGI Partner Network is here to help and support your team. If you have any questions, please reach out to us.
