Parker National Sales Meeting – Nashville TN
November 2012
The Hose & Fittings Group from Cross Company recently received four prestigious awards at the Parker National Sales Meeting in Nashville TN.
The Greensboro and Winston-Salem stores were awarded Diamond Team – this was two years in a row for Winston-Salem. These awards are earned by successfully exceeding the goals established by Parker’s Fluid Connector Group Divisions. The stores reached their balanced selling goals, increased their overall Parker sales by 10% or more, created new business with target accounts, participated in Parker training on-line and in person, and worked closely with the Parker sales team.
As a team the Hose Group also won the Parflex Red Carpet Award and the Industrial Hose Platinum Circle of Safety Award. The Parflex Red Carpet Award is earned by the top performing distributor in each sales region, and Cross Hose is the Eastern Zone winner. The Industrial Hose Platinum Circle of Safety is awarded to distributors with substantial achievements during the past year in a combination of areas including sales growth, new market development, promotion of new products, and selling with a safety-conscious mentality where the best interest of the end customer is the primary focus.
