SunDance Marine Selected As

Fort Lauderdale, Florida: SunDance Marine has been selected again as one of the exclusive Top 100 Marine Dealers in North America by the prestigious Boating Industry Magazine.
“We are extremely proud of all our people at SunDance”, Joe stated. “This recognition means a lot to us because it isn’t solely based on sales volume or popularity. It has much more to do with our policy and procedures; how we treat our customers; our CSI scores for our entire product line as well as our marketing and promotional efforts. That means this award goes to every employee at SunDance.”
“We are great believers in programs like this”, indicated Rick Levy, General Sales Manager for SunDance Marine. “Programs like the Top 100 and 5 Star Certification Program, from the National Marine Manufacturers Association, creates great benefits for our clients and customers.”
These programs require dealers to develop policies, procedures and processes that improve the entire boating experience, from purchase to servicing, and require dealers to adhere to a code of conduct in all dealings with their customers.
“This is the third year we’ve received this recognition”, Joe continued, “and it is quite satisfying that every year we have moved up in the rankings as one of the best marine dealers in North America.” SunDance was selected as the 52nd best dealer in the evaluations.
