SIGN
BIZ
EIGHTH
ANNUAL
SALES
CONSULTANT
AWARDS
HONOR
CALIFORNIA
AND
FLORIDA
STAFF
Dana Point, CA-- Sign Biz Inc. hosted its eighth annual Sales Consultant of
the Year awards at their national convention late last month. This year’s
event also featured the third annual “Newbie Award,” which is open to all
Sign Biz network store personnel who have been active as sales consultants in
the business for six months or less. The published purpose of the awards is to
“honor both Network Members and their Sales Consultants who, as members of
the entrepreneurial community, are providing a solid foundation for future
economic growth.”
This
year’s
Sales
Consultant
of
the
Year
award
was
presented
to
Carlos
Ascencio
of
Sign
Depot,
City
of
Industry,
CA.
He
was
nominated
by
the
business’s
owners,
Bill
and
Fran
Potts.
Bill
Potts
elaborates,
“For
nearly
seven
years,
Carlos
has
been
building
a
loyal
client
base
which
includes
three
large
school
districts,
two
colleges
and
numerous
national
accounts.
His
average
invoice
for
contractors
and
auto
dealerships
was
$2200
in
the
year
2001.
One
national
account
involved
shipping
to
eleven
different
states,
with
invoices
of
$2900.”
Potts
also
cites
Carlos’
calm
demeanor
as
a
factor
in
his
success,
and
adds,
“His
customers
have
complete
trust
and
confidence
in
his
abilities
to
deliver
signs
that
exceed
their
expectations.”
The
Sign
Biz
Stellar
Seller
Award
in
the
“Newbie”
category
was
granted
to
Robert
Littke
of
Sign-Age
of
Tampa
Bay,
Inc.,
a
Florida
store
owned
by
Linda
Levitan
and
Michael
Quigley
who
earned
the
$750,000
Milestone
Award
this
year. Robert
has
been
actively
selling
as
an
inside
Sales
Consultant
since
June
of
2000,
and
had
achieved
a
top-grossing
month
of
$25,564
for
December,
2001.
December
is
historically
a
slow
sales
month
in
the
sign
industry,
and
so
this
was
a
particularly
noteworthy
accomplishment.
Robert’s
average
monthly
sales
volume
is
$18,500,
and
even
though
he
is
strictly
inside
sales,
has
brought
new
accounts
to
the
business
through
contacts
he
made
in
his
off-hours. His
average
ticket
price
grew
from
$236
in
his
first
six
months
in
the
position,
to
$352
for
the
last
twelve
months.
Linda
Levitan
adds,
“One
of
the
new
accounts
that
Rob
has
obtained
for
Sign-Age
is
SuperCuts.
He
was
getting
his
hair
cut,
and
asked
who
he
could
talk
to
about
signs.
He
was
put
in
touch
with
the
Regional
Manager,
which
resulted
in
a
new
client
and
two
van
wraps!”

Sign
Biz
