Simple and smooth for all involved.
Step One
Register Your Garden Center
Managers, just fill out a simple online form at PWCertified.com, and let us know a little about your Garden Center. At this time, you will receive identification numbers to distribute to your employees so that they can log in and go through the certification process themselves. You only need to register once then each spring you will receive a information from Proven Winners containing our new comprehensive certification training program. After you review the materials, log into PWCertified.com with your user name and password to take a simple test.
Manager's Note: your employees will review the same information and take the same test as part of their certification process.
Step Two
Certifying Employees
Employees receive an identification number from their Managers, and use it to log into the testing portion of PWCertified.com at their convenience. Once there, they will take the same test as their Managers. The results are instantaneously posted on your garden center's secure Retailer Home Page and also emailed to the manager. (Don't worry, if your employees don't have internet access, you can print a hard copy of the test to distribute. They can take that test and then fax or mail it back to Proven Winners.) As soon as all registered employees have completed the test, garden center certification is complete!
Step Three
Marketing and Maintenance
Once certified, your garden center will be listed at top of the retailer search at provenwnners.com with an enhanced listing and on Lawn and Garden Search (www.lgyp.com). You will also have access to tools such as the Proven Winners Photo Library, news, updates and additional Proven Winners Certified information. You will be among the first to hear Proven Winners news and information by email, and will become an active voice among retailers in the Proven Winners network.
