Top 10 sales agent for last year

I focus on each customer by finding the need and why. I take the time to educate, listen and ask questions to narrow down the right product that fits everyone's budget. I also will upsell and make offers when I see the opportunity. I show customer appreciation by thanking each customer as well as offering any additional service. I form a relationship during the call by making real connections with people. I make sure the experience is fun and enjoyable throughout the call, while remaining very professional throughout each sale or transaction
