Zotos Professional announced the recipients of their annual sales representative awards late last month at Cosmoprof 2011 in Las Vegas.
The awards, which honor the eight top-performing sales people across Zotos’ liquids brand portfolio (Zotos Professional) and bain de terre, are a testament to the company’s current strong market presence during tough economic times.
Zotos Professional has been using sales reps to distribute their brands for more than twenty years. Over the years, the annual sales awards have become highly coveted as the nominee pool has become increasingly competitive.
“Zotos management requires our reps to be the best the industry has to offer to insure that their most important asset-- the customer--is treated right,” says Bruce Selan, Vice President Open Line Distribution & Sales.
The sales representatives are evaluated & scrutinized in a number of categories.
Congratulations to all of this year’s winners!
