Viega Honors Nine Sales People with Top Gun Awards
Wichita, Kan., 5/06/09

At Viega’s National Sales Meeting each year, the time comes to recognize the sales people who have ventured beyond traditional boundaries to drive results. This year, nine sales individuals were recognized for their leadership and sales performance at a Viega Top Gun Awards dinner.

 

On Saturday, April 18, 2009, more than 200 Viega employees from across America, Canada and Mexico attended the awards dinner. Viega’s Vice President of Sales, Dave Garlow, presented the awards. “I am so proud of the quality of sales people we have at Viega. Their commitment and hard work makes it difficult to only select nine recipients of a Top Gun award, but these nine Top Gun recipients have really went above and beyond my expectations,” said Garlow.

 

2008 Top Gun recipients:

  • Olivier Roberge, Canada
  • Darrell Markley, Inside Sales
  • Josh Dimacchia, Northeast Territory
  • Wendy Toth, National Accounts
  • Ted Atkinson, West Territory
  • Jon Miller, Southeast Territory
  • Bill Sloan, Industrial Accounts
  • Dennis Harvey, Central Territory

 

Tara Kemen, National Accounts Representative, received the highest award of the evening – the National Top Gun award. Kemen has worked at Viega for four years. “This may have been a year full of challenges, but more importantly, a year of accomplishments. Tara’s focus on customer service and motivation to drive sales never wavered during these times of economic challenges. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this honor,” said Garlow.
