Otis Technology Sales Rep and Agency Awards
News Briefs - May/June 2023
Every year Otis Technology presents awards to the sales representatives and agencies that have shown initiative, sales growth, outstanding effort, and customer service over the course of the past year. Otis Technology has recognized J.R Keller of Jeff Robles & Associates as the 2022 Sales Representative of the Year.
“Keller took over one of our largest retailers when a long-time rep retired and has really stepped up to fill some big shoes,” said Kenda Campbell, director of commercial sales at Otis Technology. “His dedication to his territory and persistent pursuit to getting our brands placed is remarkable. In a challenging year we really appreciate his dedication to keeping our brand name strong.”
In addition, Otis Technology and Shooter’s Choice also recognized its top sales agencies for 2022. Jeff Robles & Associates is Sporting Goods Sales Agency of the Year, Odle Sales is Law Enforcement Sales Agency of the Year, and Forward Edge Marketing Group is Government Sales Agency of the Year.
"As Otis’ longest-tenured agency, Jeff and his team continue to show the enthusiasm and knowledge of the Otis product line. As a result, they are able to drive business in the ultra-competitive firearms accessories category. In an extremely tough market and year, they continue to outperform expectations,” Campbell said.
“With the Odle LE sales team’s out-of-the-box thinking, they were able to understand and maneuver the uncertainties brought upon by the pandemic and subsequent international turmoil,” said Greg Essenlohr, government sales manager for Otis Technology. “Not only did they grow existing accounts, but they cultivated new sales channels within their respective territories as well.”
“Forward Edge has unrelenting dedication and enthusiasm for our brands, which positions Otis to better serve the U.S. Armed Forces Exchange Services. This year alone, we were able to grow our product placement exponentially and position our brand as the mainstay in the category,” he said. (otistec.com)
