PNC Park PurePlus Customer Event:
The weather may not have been the most desirable for the PPC Lubricant and Shell PurePlus event held at PNC Park, Wednesday April 23rd for the evening Pirates Baseball game, but the turnout from our customers was! Every Pennzoil customer that committed to attend the PurePlus meeting came, 90 people in total!

The day started with a full room in the “Press Conference Room” in PNC Park at 1:00pm. The first training was Warren Augenstein from Shell, presenting some Instant Expert information on how important it is to understand the products available and ask the right questions, so you can assist your customers to the product that is right for their needs not just less expensive for their wallets.

The second training was Karen Hayes assisting Pennzoil Installers with some tools on the “Shell Installer Portal”, that can help with training, information on what’s new, and the Shell One Source link to help them purchase what they require for marketing within their locations.

The last training of the day was Roger Krivosky from Shell, with training on the NEW Pennzoil product, “Pennzoil Platinum with PurePlus Technology”, a Patented, revolutionary process that converts pure natural gas into the first-of-its-kind, high quality full synthetic base oil used in Pennzoil Platinum® motor oils, which produces a crystal clear base oil that is 99.5% pure with fewer impurities than base oils made from crude oil. Roger’s discussion also included the complete protection of PurePlus Technology that is designed for, “Cleaner Pistons, Better Fuel Economy, Protects Horsepower, Unsurpassed Wear Protection and Excellent Performance in Extreme Temperatures”.

The day continued at 5:00 with a customer appreciation dinner in the PNC Park BowTie Deck and a 7:05 ball game, Pirates vs. Reds. There may have not been any rain, but the 49 degree temperature – dropping as the sun went down to 39 degrees – made it difficult to stay past the 6th inning, but overall the day was good.

I hope all of our customers got some value from the event. The next customer event will not be as long of an agenda, and we will work to keep the meeting to a time that will not pull you from your businesses for a full day.

All of us at PPC Lubricant and Shell extend a huge “THANK YOU” to all our Pennzoil customers for your business, and for taking the time out from your busy schedules to attend our meeting!
