I have recieved Salesman of the year award, Best all around salesman award and The presidents award.

The salesman of the year award through out my career I have won a few times. It was mainly focused on sales.  The best all around salesman was given for a salesman who was graded on everything from sales to taking care of problems and working with the customers as well as the folks with in the company. The Presidents award was very similar and was given out by the President of the company and he looked at everything about the rep. How the sold as well as all the other things like getting along with other reps, your company all your dealer, handling problems. He wanted you to be an all around great representative for the company.
