“I simply feel WOW! When I first went to a Shell Retail station in Rajkot, I was amazed by the services offered to customers and the way they were greeting each & every customer. The same day, I decided to become a dealer for Shell in Gujarat. My primary businesses include Solar Energy, Construction, Land development businesses which were not related with Mobility business. I went to Bengaluru for the dealer evaluation process as I had a wonderful land in the middle of Morbi city. It was a very smooth interaction with the Shell representatives and they guided me very well to associate with the No. 1* Fuel brand in the world. When I got my first LOI in Gujarat for commercial dealer operated site with Shell after proper due diligence, I was really thrilled and on the top of the world. It was like a dream come true for me & my family. At each & every stage, Shell representatives have guided me very well for setting up the retail station in Morbi. Now I am the proud owner of M/s Jayraj Petroleum, Morbi. I was inducted and well trained by Shell team due to which I can now replicate a similar operation like any company owned site in my city as well. When people appreciate our various services like Premium Fuels, Lube bay, Convince store, I feel I have taken the right decision to become a dealer with Shell. On regular basis, Shell representatives guide me and help me to maximize my ROI from my site. After this stupendous experience, I am set to get another Retail station of Shell where I want to cater to a larger set of customers and maximize my ROI.”
