THE NATIONAL SALES AWARDS 2007 – FINALIST ANNOUNCED
Dartford-based David Cook, brand sales director – main with central heating appliance manufacturer Main Heating (Baxi Heating UK) has been announced as a finalist in the Sales Leader of the Year category.
Now in its 10th successful year, the coveted National Sales Awards 2007, which is sponsored by Huthwaite International, honours the country’s top performing sales individuals and teams. Providing a platform to recognise the very best in the professional sales industry, the Awards promote excellence, best practice and innovation in selling; serving as a benchmark by which many UK organisations measure themselves.
Made up of 30 categories, the Awards are rigorously judged by an independent panel. One outstanding sales individual will be presented with the flagship National Sales Award, The Huthwaite Sales Professional of the Year.
David will now prepare to make his presentation in person before a panel of expert judges in November.
Winners are recognised by both sales professionals and leaders from all business sectors for their outstanding innovation and achievement.
The annual celebration culminates in a glittering gala awards evening at Grosvenor House, London, on Thursday 15 February 2007.
Huthwaite International’s managing director Tony Hughes commented: “Those on the shortlist for the National Sales Awards are role models not only for salespeople but for everyone whose career involves a level of customer contact. Their success is testament to the dedication and continuously developing their sales techniques.
“They are a shining example of Living Sales™ which, far from the outmoded image of the pushy ‘foot-in-the-door’ salesperson, is a concept that touches us all. Sales skills are perhaps the most used so it is vital that anyone with a customer-facing role, be they in customer service, technical support or on a sales team, can make the case for their company’s offering.”
Don Hales, chair of the judges said: “Studying these finalists’ application forms, it is clear to see that each one of them is committed to their profession and works incredibly hard to deliver a positive experience for the customer each and every time. I wish them the very best for the judging.”
