October 2009 Salesperson of the Month

Kathy Wright

October was a challenging month as reps balanced our largest promotion of the year, Brand Expand, with the start of the holiday season. Kathy managed to do both extremely well. Not only did she have the second most RSVP’s for Brand Expand, and the most presentation week attendees, but she also was our top salesperson in October. Kathy was 102% to goal for Print, 118% to goal for Online, Even on L Mag, 104% to goal for Direct Marketing, and Value Direct 134% to goal. All adding up to an astonishing 116% increase over last year’s revenue numbers.
Outstanding, Kathy!
