2024 David Vander Pol
Sales Excellence Winners
Contributed by: Gerrit Foster, Corporate Acct Support & Sales Process Manager
This Annual Sales award was renamed in 2022 in honor of DVP, who loved his work, especially his travels and opportunities to participate in sales calls. The goal of our annual sales award is to recognize those who have Exemplified Excellence in selling OAKH, encouraging our Sales Team to focus on closing new accounts and adding additional volume with existing accounts, while staying ahead of contract renewals and leveraging supplemental sales opportunities to deepen overall account penetration.
After significant moves by SoCal reps in both November and December, we had a very close finish to end the year. The 2024 award winners:
