Hinkley Lighting recognized eight lighting agencies at its national sales meeting held prior to the January Lightovation event in Dallas, TX.
Winners were awarded based on sales performance, innovative idea contributions and overall customer service. A new category for “Hospitality Representative of the Year” was added this year, as the hospitality market has been a growing segment for Hinkley.
“Strategic investments in our hospitality and landscape channels have positioned us for long-term growth opportunities,” says Karyn Hayes, Showroom Sales Manager, North America. “Our sales representatives are a key component to executing these growth strategies, and we will continue to recognize and reward them for their success.”
The following agencies were recognized:
