The Brooks Group, A Global Leader In Sales Training, Wins Fifth Consecutive Stevie® Award, Taking Home Bronze For 2015 Sales Training Practice Of The Year
Greensboro, NC (PRWEB) March 16, 2015 -- The Brooks Group, providers of best-in-class sales training and sales management training for companies around the world, received the Bronze Stevie® Award for 2015 Sales Training Practice of the Year during a gala banquet at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada February 27. This marks the 9th annual Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service, and it is the fifth year in a row that The Brooks Group was named a big winner at the ceremony.
The Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service is the world’s top recognition for customer service, contact center, business development and sales professionals. Nearly 2,000 entries were submitted by organizations competing for a spot on the podium this year.
“I am greatly humbled to be named a top sales training practice on one of the biggest awards' stage in the industry,” said Jeb Brooks, President and CEO of The Brooks Group. ”I’d like to offer my sincerest gratitude to the Steve Awards for the benchmark they’ve set—it’s something that we all strive for year after year. And we couldn’t have done this without our staff support and all the trusted clients we’ve served over the past three decades.”
Every year, the Stevie Awards event grows and becomes more challenging to be named as a finalist. Entries have doubled in the past three years, and were up 27% this year over last. The judges certainly had their work cut out for them.
“From November through early February, more than 190 professionals around the world reviewed and rated the more than 1,900 entries that were submitted by organizations in 34 nations,” said Michael Gallagher, President of The Stevie Awards. “Slightly more than 40% of the entries they rated received average scores high enough to qualify as Finalists, all of which will be recognized tonight as Gold, Silver or Bronze Stevie Award winners.”
Finalists were determined by the average scores of 139 professionals worldwide during two months of first-round judging. Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award placements were determined in final judging by members of seven specialized committees.
“While this is such an honor, quite frankly, we consider it a privilege to help other businesses create sustainable success,” Brooks added. “It’s not just our mission, it’s our passion. And seeing it happen, and being a big part of it… that is our greatest reward of all.”
