Customer Contact Program


Long lasting relations. Long lasting ap Forming relationships is only the first step. Strengthening and maintaining a relationship is far more crucial. At Piaggio India, we understand this better than anyone else in the business. This is why we make conscious efforts to build long-lasting relationships with our customers across the country. We have introduced a number of initiatives that bring our customers extra benefits.

Service Camps

We want those customers whose vehicles are out of warranty to feel assured that their vehicles will continue to function at optimal levels. Hence this initiative is called ap Nidaan. Our company officials check these vehicles to ensure that problems are pre-empted or fixed before they intensify.
CRM

This unique and powerful scheme was launched by PVPL in the year 2008. This is a referral program, wherein an ap customer or PVPL associate is allowed to refer a friend/ relative/ potential customer. As

soon as the reference gets converted into sale, the referrer is rewarded with a substantial cash benefit. Similarly, he can build multiple chains of referrals and earn cash incentives for every successful referral.
