All-New www.FMe-cat.com eCatalog Brings Fast, Easy User Interface Expanded Content To Desktops And Mobile Devices

Comprehensive online resource permits quicker lookups across all Federal-Mogul lines, unlimited access to technical information and latest brand and promotions news.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. — Federal-Mogul’s (NASDAQ: FDML) www.FMe-cat.com electronic catalog has been relaunched with an all-new interface and a variety of innovative features that make it faster, easier and more valuable for any user, including those who prefer to research parts and repair information via a smartphone or tablet computer.
 
Federal-Mogul expects the eCatalog site’s popularity to grow thanks to a new, highly refined user interface as well as responsive design technology that delivers a seamless experience for those using mobile devices. In 2012, the FMe-cat.com site attracted an average of approximately 10,000 unique visitors per day and logged more than 25 million product lookups. The site covers all Federal-Mogul products in each of six application categories – passenger car and light truck; commercial, agricultural and industrial; performance; marine; powersport; and small engine.
 
“Faster, easier and more mobile – we identified these three key development goals through extensive input from customers as well as by studying the manner in which our existing users navigated the original site,” said Brent Berman, manager, digital marketing and e-data, North America, Federal-Mogul. “The new FMe-cat.com not only achieves these goals, but helps users gain more value through every visit through our extensive library of product information, repair resources, technical videos and news.”
 
The new site automatically “senses” the size and format of the user’s digital device and then optimizes screen content and layout for easier access to parts details and related information across any or all of Federal-Mogul’s product lines. The site now also includes an “omnibox” parts locator at the top of each screen that will immediately generate a list of all potential matches – including Federal-Mogul parts, applications and available technical resources – with the input of a single OEM, Federal-Mogul or competitor part number. Users can also enter a vehicle identification number (VIN) and generate a list of Federal-Mogul parts across as many or as few brands as they choose. Customers can easily navigate between application categories while looking up parts and save information from each result within the “My Parts List” tab.
 
Among the technical tools available through the new site are repair tips and bulletins; torque, part and engine specifications lookups; calculators that enable the user to determine engine displacement, horsepower, and torque and compression ratio based on their parts choices; and a “Training Center” featuring dozens of free technical videos representing each of the company’s brands and product lines.
 
Embedded within the site’s home page is the Federal-Mogul e360 (www.fme360.com) news feed covering the latest brand-related announcements, including current promotions, product introductions and motorsports results.

Customer Service: How It’s Done

Customer service should be your number one priority, and it all starts with the greeting.

This is always an important topic to discuss, because I consider excellent customer service one of the most important tools you can have to earn trust, respect and repeat business from the customers that come through your door. Whether that customer is do-it-yourselfer from across town or the professional repair shop across the street, your business depends on a solid relationship.It’s a subject that I am passionate about, and it’s one that many people are losing touch with. Whether you are communicating to someone in person, on the phone or using some type of social media, good customer service and bad can both exist. You can’t afford the latter, so this is the first in a series of topics which can and should be shared from the front of the shop to the back. No matter which role you hold, you represent the shop and yourself. Customer service should be your number one priority.First on the list is the greeting. From the second a customer walks in the door, they need to know you appreciate them coming in and how important they are to your business. First impressions are everything and here’s the correct way to do it each and every time: look them directly in the eye, smile and say hello!Of course, you can say “Good morning” or “Welcome to Joe’s Autocare,” but it should be a formal greeting and the most important thing is that you have smiled, looked them in the eye and recognized that they have walked through the door.You should always retain a formal greeting until you are on a first-name basis with a customer. Only once you have established that level of relationship is it OK to use the less formal greeting of “Hi,” followed by the person’s name.This greeting does more than just indicate respect and appreciation for someone walking through the door. Most likely there are customers both new and old who are in earshot of your conversation. For newer customers, this continues to build rapport and reinforce their positive view of your shop; they see that you demonstrate respect and treat everyone in the same manner. For repeat customers, even ones that have been coming for years, the greeting is important because the way you treat them is the reason they continue to come.And when a long-time customer comes in and you greet them with “Hi [First Name],” this indicates your appreciation for them and that you’re glad to see them as a person, more than just a customer. New customers that witness this will see that your repeat customers are comfortable enough to be on a first-name basis, another indication of the trust they have in you.
