Four Star Freightliner Sales Managers Receive "Elite Award"
Two sales managers at Four Star Freightliner, Inc. have been named “Elite Trip Winners” in the Freightliner Leland James Sales Program.
This is his seventh consecutive win for Truman Ingram, Four Star Freightliner Utility & Municipal Account Manager. And for the first time, sales manager Jay Morrison, was also named an “Elite Trip Winner”. Last year Morrison was named an “Elite Award Winner” for his excellent sales efforts.
The Leland James Sales Achievement Program, named after the founder of Freightliner, recognizes the best sales representatives and managers in the Freightliner Dealer Network. The awards are based on the amount of units sold.
Morrison, who works primarily out of the Dothan, Ala. location, is Four Star Freightliner's Western Star Brand Manager. He also sells new and used trucks.
“Jay barely missed receiving this honor the past two years but not this year,” said Jerry Kocan, Four Star Freightliner Dealer Principal. “I believe it speaks to Jay’s persistence and his ability to grow his customer base year after year. He is a great example of how building trust with your customers leads to earning their business long term.”
Morrison and Ingram are two of only 32 Elite “Trip” Winners in North America who were recognized for their sales excellence, customer service and industry leadership.
Ingram has been with Four Star Freightliner for more than ten years and works from the Montgomery, Ala. location. He is proof that consistent, hard work pays off.
“Truman Ingram is a consummate professional,” said Kocan. “He partners with his customers to get the most out of the relationship. This is his seventh time he has been honored with this award and he earns it every day.”
Freightliner is taking the award recipients on a luxurious trip to the Caribbean island of St. Kitts. In addition to Ingram and Morrison, David Turner, Four Star Freightliner’s New Truck Sales Manager, will also travel to St. Kitts as a reward from Freightliner.
“David Turner has been with me shoulder-to-shoulder for 19 years and I could not be happier for him,” said Kocan. “He has built a sales team and is dedicated to training and developing people the right way. David is the type of leader I would like to work for and follow. You will not find a more generous and kind person and I am proud that he leads our Sales Team.
I am also very happy for their families and most especially their spouses that make major sacrifices and would like to thank and congratulate Claire Ingram, Frannie Morrison and Dr. Julie Turner.”
Created in 2003 and named after Freightliner Trucks’ founder Leland James, the Leland James Sales Achievement Program recognizes and rewards outstanding sales professionals from dealerships in the United States and Canada.
