Virgin Media Business has been shortlisted for four national awards for its sales professionals and teams. John Ahmed, John Maund and Shaun McCarthy have been shortlisted for Sales Professional, Sales Manager, and New Sales Professional, respectively. The Desktop Service Management Team has also been shortlisted as finalists for the prestigious BESMA awards and will be guests at the glittering gala evening on May 27th at London’s Lancaster Hotel overlooking Hyde Park.
Hundreds of companies nominated their top sales people for these awards and a rigorous first round of judging has whittled the entries down to a select group of finalists. All individual nominees had to show they respond appropriately to customer questions and objections, gain commitment throughout the sales process and close profitable business for the organisation. The Desktop Service Management Team was able to demonstrate that it understands the business objectives and the actions required to achieve the Company’s goals and targets.
Mark Heraghty, managing director, Virgin Media Business said “We pride ourselves on employing great staff who seek to go above and beyond. As a business we’re constantly investing in staff to help them develop and it looks like that investment has paid off. To have four shortlisted finalists is testament to the individuals’ hard work, commitment and professionalism. We wish all our nominees the best of luck for 27 May.”
