Final Days to Enter Planet Ford Whisperer

Hours counting down on chance to win $80,000 Dream Ford at Dealership Grand Opening

HOUSTON, TX – Randall Reed’s World Class Automotive Group is announcing the final days to enter the https://www.planetfordwhisperer.com contest taking place at the Grand Opening of the newly designed Planet Ford in Spring, Texas. A brand new Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 or Ford F-150 Raptor will be awarded to the grand prize winner at the event May 18, 2018.

While May 11, 2018 is the final day to enter to win the $80,000 Ford Shelby GT350 or Ford F-150 Raptor, Planet Ford Whisperer fans will have another chance to win one of these dream Ford vehicles starting May 14, 2018.

As a reminder, the contest allows contestants to submit a short written photo essay or video to PlanetFordWhisperer.com, in which they will share their Ford Whisperer tale. Tales can include content such as, why they think they can whisper too or how Planet Ford and Mr. Reed have helped them find their ideal Ford. The Planet Ford Whisperer contest is part of Owner Randall Reed’s new Ford Whisperer campaign created in celebration of a historic Ford first, every single World Class Automotive Ford dealership receiving the Ford Triple Crown in the same year and being the seventh inductee even into Ford’s Top Sales Volume Dealer Hall of Fame.

“We are thrilled to celebrate this unprecedented achievement of every independent dealer’s location earning Ford’s highest honor,” said Mr. Reed. Since the inception of the Triple Crown, only 78 dealers have ached the distinction, with less than half a percent winning it on an annual basis.

“This incredible accompaniment recognizes their well-deserved commitment to their communities, charities, customers, employees and Ford Motor Company,” said Dianne C. Craig, Director of U.S. Sales for Ford. “In total, our Ford stores have garnered this amazing honor 10 times, and it marks the 6th consecutive year for a Planet Ford location.”

For those who also submit a video or photo entry for the vehicle contest, the contestants are encouraged to share their videos on social media with #PlanetFordWhisperer and #FordWhisperer, and then go tell their friends to vote, like and share! A panel of judges will select the finalists from whom the grand prize winner will be selected.  Everyone who registers at the site will be placed into a weekly drawing for a Ford Ambassador Prize Pack.

At the grand opening of the Planet Ford in Spring, TX, on May 18th, 2018, Mr. Reed will announce the Grand Prize winner and hand over the keys to his or her choice of the new $80,000 Ford. The winner must be present to win. The celebration will be a host of family-friendly activities and live entertainment, including dueling ice carvers and music headlined by Little Texas. Other musical acts include Houston’s very own Jason Cassidy and Rolling Stone’s Top-10 Country Artists, the Scooter Brown Band. Guests will also participate in an attempt to set a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS, great sweepstakes giveaways, a raffle with big prizes, and a silent auction benefiting Light Up To Live, a charity for members of our Military.

Don’t forget: the final countdown has begun, so enter to win!

J.D. Power 2018 Dealer of Excellence for the Customer Sales Experience

Demonstrating its commitment to exceeding customer expectations, Planet Ford in Spring, Texas has been certified in the J.D. Power 2018 Dealer of Excellence ProgramSM, which recognizes a select number of vehicle dealerships throughout the United States that provide exceptional customer service.

“This certification sets us apart, especially coming from such an authority as J.D. Power,” said Randall Reed, owner of Planet Ford. “We are incredibly proud as this is a difficult recognition to achieve. We have garnered it at all of our World Class Automotive Ford and Lincoln locations. In addition, we have done so in tandem with the historic first of aching the Ford Triple Crown at every one of my Ford locations in the same year.”

World Class Automotive Group J.D. Power 2018 Dealer of Excellence includes Randall Reed’s Prestige Ford, Randall Reed’s Park Cities Ford, Randall Reed’s Park Cities Lincoln, Randall Reed’s Planet Ford in Humble, Planet Ford in Spring, and Planet Lincoln.

Known for its “Voice of the Customer” research for 50 years, J.D. Power and its Dealer of Excellence Program help consumers identify leading retailers that will go the extra mile. Buying a vehicle can be an overwhelming process, which is why dealers recognized in the Dealer of Excellence Program are highlighted for helping consumers confidently make that big step. Dealerships at this level of excellence are hard to find, as shown in the exclusivity of the program in that not all dealerships qualify.

To qualify, the dealers must meet three main criteria. First, J.D. Power limits the percentage of eligible dealerships based on each brand’s performance in the most recent J.D. Power U.S. Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI) Study.SM Thus, proportionally more dealerships from top-performing brands can become a J.D. Power Dealer of Excellence. Dealerships must also rank among their brand’s top performers in key customer satisfaction areas consistent with measurements found in the SSI Study.

Finally, qualifying dealers must pass an audit to show they meet or exceed J.D. Power sales best practices. Those best practices include, but are not limited to, listing vehicle inventory and pricing on the dealership website; negotiating in an efficient and transparent manner; offering a fair trade-in value; and presenting a clear and easy-to-understand menu of finance and insurance products.
