Currie Technologies recently graduated five territory managers (TMs) from its Road Show Boot Camp held July 23 – 27 at the company’s headquarters in Chatsworth, CA.
 
At the conclusion of the program, Currie’s executive team sent each of the five TMs driving back into their territory in a new Nissan NV high top van, fully wrapped like a rolling billboard and equipped with the IZIP Road Show demo fleet.


“Carrying a full range of Currie’s electric bikes, a pop-up tent and an outdoor test ride set-up, the TMs are ready to support our dealers with regional events that will raise awareness and allow consumer and retailer test rides of our electric bikes. They will also support our sales reps in servicing, training and expanding our dealer network,” stated Larry Pizzi, President of Currie Technologies. “After a full week of extensive boot camp training, these guys are ready to hit the road to promote IZIP, the best selling electric bikes in the US.”
 
“IZIP electric bikes are a blast to ride,” continued Pizzi. “We want to change the misconception that bike riding is an ‘extreme sport’ and demonstrate that our electric bikes can offer everyone fun and recreation, with an efficient and enjoyable electric assisted ride.”
 
Each TM is centered in a key market region of the US. The TMs and their regions are as follows:
 

• Thomas ‘Chip’ Hoffman – New England and Mid-Atlantic States


• Travis Miller – West Coast


• Rus Bockin – Northern Tier and Mid-West


• Hamilton ‘Mo’ Ory – South West and South Central


• Peter Jubell – South East


 
The Road Show Boot Camp was the first in an ongoing series of workshops designed to provide TMs with the training and information needed to help dealers plan for and achieve success in the E-Bike category.
 
“Our boot camp program is designed to familiarize TMs with the innovative resources available to Currie dealers, and equip them to help dealers capitalize on the rapidly emerging electric bike category,” said Rob Kaplan, Vice President of Sales for Currie Technologies. “The ability of TMs to explain and help implement our dealer business and marketing programs positions them as value-added partners who positively impact our dealers success.”
