Moneypenny experiences unique training day with Mazda

Our very own Automotive expert, Jo McKeown test drives one of their newest models

Our automotive receptionists took part in an extra-special training day with Mazda Motors.

The event, held at our UK head office, gave receptionists the opportunity to test drive the world’s best-selling two-seater roadster, the Mazda MX-5 and also showcased the rest of the Mazda range of cars. They were also given a driving experience via state-of-the-art Virtual Reality (VR) equipment in the static display models together with a presentation on the Mazda Customer Blueprint.

Six members of staff from Mazda were on-hand throughout the day to answer any questions including members of Mazda’s in-house contact center to share experiences and assist in product awareness.

Moneypenny provides overflow phone answering and live chat support for Mazda’s head office and 18 of its dealerships in the UK. This includes the ability to directly book test drives on behalf of Mazda dealerships anywhere in the country. The interactive training day was designed to offer our automotive receptionists an opportunity to fully experience the brand’s cars.

Jo McKeown, Sales Manager at Moneypenny, explained: “We are delighted to have arranged this training day with Mazda and would like to thank them for all their support. Our clients rely on the seamless service that we provide and thorough training is integral to this. All of our receptionists undergo extensive training when they first join us, followed by further training for the particular automotive brand that they support. The visit from Mazda yesterday was an extension of this and provided a fantastic opportunity for our receptionists to enhance their product knowledge by experiencing Mazda vehicles first-hand.”
