Fusion

Marc & Harriet Feigenblatt: Greg Kien Sales Testimonial

We purchased a 2010 Fusion Hybrid.  We had done a great deal of independent research before ever entering a dealership, so we had complete knowledge of the model and options we wanted.  We’ve never purchased a Ford of any kind before primarily because our research indicated that until recently, Ford products were inferior to those of other manufacturers.  Regarding the ranking of vehicle attributes, we place safety above all else, followed by reliability/durability and then by the balance of features which would include gas mileage, performance and options.  Aesthetics would be last, but a tie breaker among equals.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, we would like to offer the following testimonial regarding the sale with specific kudos to Greg Kien.

In the thirty years that we have been married, the Ford Fusion Hybrid is our ninth new automobile and our first Ford.  It was, by far, the best experience we’ve ever had when purchasing a new vehicle and we give credit to Greg Kien, our contact at Beechmont Ford.  He listened to us intently when we told him of our needs and concerns and always responded in a positive and helpful manner.  He recognized that we were educated consumers and treated us as such.  He took the time to make certain that all of our questions were answered in a clear and concise way.  He went above and beyond, even after the sales was complete.  He made the entire process not only easy, but very pleasant.

When we first stepped into Greg’s office, it was apparent that he was very knowledgeable and we appreciated his no-pressure attitude.  Although the Fusion Hybrid was a high-demand vehicle, he offered us an exceptionally competitive price and did not pressure us into purchasing any additional services or products.

Because we were uncertain about a particular exterior color, he searched for a dealership in the area that had the exact model and color in the lot so that we could view it in person rather than in a booklet.  When he discovered that no area dealerships had one, he worked with us to find one in Louisville, Kentucky, because he knew that we were traveling through that city the following week.  He had already made the sale — it would have been easy for him to just point to the colors in the Ford brochure and let us decide from that.

When we picked up our new Fusion, Greg spent a lot of time in the vehicle with us, demonstrating various features and controls.  Since this model has an extraordinary number of high-tech and complex systems, we were very appreciative that he went over them before we had a chance to read the manuals.  Within minutes of arriving home from the dealership, we even received a phone call from him asking us how our first trip in our new car went!

If we hear of anyone (friend, family, acquaintance) who is interested in purchasing a new vehicle, we will definitely send them to Beechmont Ford and especially Greg Kien.  We are always very careful about whom we recommend to others and we know for certain that anyone we refer will also find it to be their best new car sales experience.

Thank you for a wonderful 2009

Beechmont Ford customers and all Ford owners, THANK YOU!  2009 started involved a tremendous amount of uncertainty, apprehension and fear.  Should we take bail out money?  Should we not?  Stock prices plummeted and unemployment rose.  Consumer confidence lessened each and every day with more and more stories of bankruptcy and corruption.  Standing strong in times of hardship, believing in our customers and believing in the quality of the Ford brand kept us moving forward.

Some highlights of 2009 included:

• The 2010 new Ford model lineup event
• A visit from Cincinnati Bengals defensive end, Antwan Odom
• A sneak peak at the 2011 Ford Fiesta
• The government sponsored Cash for Clunkers program
• Ford Motor Company training our team on new enhancements to the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

Most importantly, we would like to thank our customers for helping us finish 71st in the nation for new retail Ford vehicle sales.  Beechmont Ford could not have been as successful for the past 15 years without your continued support.  You supported us for many years in the past, during the economic challenges of 2009 and we look forward to serving you during the rebound of 2010.

2010 brings high hopes and optimism.  The equity Ford holds in its name is the highest of all domestic brands.  Consumer interest and customer loyalty keeps climbing.

Thank you… Thank you… Thank you.

Sales Testimonial: Christine McGeorge

Dick Barrick was our sales consultant and I can’t begin to convey how wonderful both my husband and I felt about our experience with him.  I have purchased approximately 6 new vehicles from various dealerships, Beechmont Ford, Jeff Wyler, Walt Sweeney and our experience with Dick at Beechmont is hands down over any other.  They just don’t make salesman like Dick anymore!  We purchased a vehicle at Beechmont Ford about 10 years ago and came back there several months ago but just didn’t get the level of service and ultimately did not buy a vehicle.  We decided to give Beechmont another chance as my husband still felt a loyalty to them and we lucked out getting Dick as our salesman.  Those young guys sitting around the desks chit-chatting about their plans for the evening or weekend should take some pointers from Dick.  Not only did we buy the Ford F-150 but a week later we came back and purchased a 2010 Ford Fusion Sport!  I have shared my experience with everyone I know!!!  I must also give some kudos to Janet Mastruserio!  What a remarkable lady!  We both appreciated the time she took to explain every detail to us so we knew what we were agreeing to.  Unfortunately, due to some past debt that we’ve been working on but still dragging our score down.  Janet gave us some pointers to help our score going forward and I have complete confidence she fought hard to get us the most competitive rates she could under the circumstances.  I understand Janet is retiring and really hope that Beechmont Ford finds a way to keep her on a part-time basis and she is a gem!  These are just a few remarks about why we feel strongly about the positive experience we received from Beechmont Ford and I assure you with service like that we will certainly be back!  For now, I’m all over my new Fusion Sport!!!
