FOREST CITY, IOWA - Tom Lovell of Meyer's RV Centers in Syracuse, N.Y. was recognized as a Peak Performer of the Year finalist by Winnebago Industries, Inc. at the Company's annual Dealer Days event in Las Vegas, Nev., June 25-27. In earning Peak Performer finalist status, Lovell demonstrated exceptional knowledge of Winnebago Industries' motor homes.
Winnebago Industries created the knowledge-based Peak Performer program in 1999 to recognize dealer sales professionals who demonstrate outstanding product knowledge of the Company's Winnebago®and Itasca® brand motor homes.
Winnebago Industries' Director of Product Planning Russ Garfin said, "It is vital for sales professionals on our dealers' lots to have a thorough knowledge of our products in order to provide accurate information to our retail customers and assist them in buying decisions. While Winnebago Industries applauds each and every sales professional who participated in the challenging Peak Performer program, we commend Tom for working extremely hard to achieve this prestigious honor."
Recognized by the Recreation Vehicle Dealer Association (RVDA) as the leader in quality sales training for the last six calendar years, Winnebago Industries' Product Training department provided training to over 1,200 sales professionals for the 2006 model year. Winnebago Industries product sales training is planned for seven regional locations for the 2007 model year. The first event was held in Forest City, Iowa, in early June.
NOTE: This is Tom's 2nd recognition as Winnebago's "Peak Performer" in three years. Meyer's RV Center is a FreedomRoads RV Dealer.
