Industry Launches - Accredited Dealer Program
Boating Industry Association of Victoria (BIAV) has awarded Leon & Paul Savages Streaker Boats, as the first accredited dealer in their new BIA Accreditation Program.
BIAV awarded this honour to Streaker Boats at this years 50th Annual Melbourne Boat Show. The new accreditation program has been introduced to encourage people to buy boats from trusted Victorian dealers.
BIAV is putting the call out to all Victorian boat broker/dealers, to become apart of this initiative. This dealer is the first, in what will be a long line of accredited broker/dealers to become apart of this program. There are currently businesses in the process of receiving their official accreditation.
BIA General Manager, Clyde Batty says about the process, 'BIA Accreditation now puts weight behind the dealer to espouse to the buying public the integrity, honesty, reliability, and reputation of an authorised dealer and the BIA in providing safe trading practices'.
The benefits of being a BIAV Accredited dealer means they will be the go to point for customers in the market, as the public know the dealership can be trusted and they have the backing of BIA and the program behind them. Accredited dealers will be recognised as leaders in the industry
All elements of BIAV’s strict accreditation process must be met, in order to achieve the title of being a BIA Victoria Accredited Dealer. The benefit of this for people is that they can have peace of mind when buying their boat, in knowing that they have the support not only of the dealer/broker, but of the nationally recognised body for the boating industry.
Accreditation means to the dealer and the customer, safety, truth, sincerity, dependability, consistency and quality in service/after sales service and product.
Being an accredited dealer demonstrates to government and consumers that your business operates at the highest standards, and is ethical and professional.
Accredited dealers/brokers will be assessed on specific standards in all aspects of the customer retail experience, including business and sales process, customer satisfaction and consumer protection. They must also adhere to the BIA’s Code of Ethics.
