Friday, 10/27/2006

HOPKINSVILLE, Kent. – In its continuing efforts to provide comprehensive training and product support to pro shops, Ebonite Powerhouse™ Training Clinics has announced the opening of the industry’s first-ever Pro Shop Help Desk Hotline.

“Through our relationships with pro shops nationwide, we have identified a void in our industry for a telephone hotline dedicated to pro shop operators who have drilling, layout, equipment or other business related questions on a daily basis,” said Ebonite’s vice president of marketing, Bob Reid.

“Working with the professionals at Ebonite Powerhouse™ Training Clinics, we have opened the first line of pro shop support direct from the pro shop professionals who work this business every day. We see this Pro Shop Help Desk Hotline as a way to further support pro shop businesses and give them access to the most comprehensive business support possible, all at no charge to the pro shop,” added Reid.

Jeff Ussery, former pro shop owner and master level instructor for Ebonite Powerhouse™ Training Clinics, shared, “One of the biggest issues for pro shop owners today is the lack of information and immediate support. We all have experienced a circumstance when we needed help…fast. This hotline is just another link in our pro shop support chain that is going to aid us in our goal of creating the world’s finest pro shop operators through superior education.”

The Ebonite Powerhouseâ„¢ Pro Shop Help Desk Hotline, a free service to pro shop operators and owners, is available seven days a week by calling 785-843-2658. Pro shops can also contact Ebonite Powerhouseâ„¢ Training Clinics via email at jeff@proshoptraining.com or the web at www.proshoptraining.com. Ebonite Powerhouseâ„¢ Training Clinics is also an authorized seller of Ebonite Pro Shop Equipment and Supplies.
