By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, March 1, 2010
LAS VEGAS —
Hank Butler, who manages the North Carolina and South Carolina sales territory for AICO/Amini Innovation Corp., was named the company's Sales Professional of the Year 2009 at an awards banquet during the recent Las Vegas Market.
This is the second time Butler has received the honor, which came with a trophy and a specially designed ring.
“Hank is a problem solver and has dealt with a lot of situations, and is able to recognize the opportunities that arise from those situations,” said Chuck Reilly, AICO's vice president of sales. “He treats his office like a practice, similar to that of a doctor or a lawyer, and takes care of his customers professionally.”
Butler also received the President's Club Award, given to sales representatives with the highest volume of sales.
Jared Pierini received AICO's Rising Star award for 2009. He joined the full-line furniture source in 2007 to oversee the northern California territory.
Brad Pyne, New York territory representative, was honored for opening the most new accounts in 2009. Pyne also was recognized for exceptional sales performance, as was north Florida rep Mike Gray.
AICO presented its Spirit of Professionalism Award, given to the individual who most exemplifies professionalism in daily work, to Illinois rep Luke Wolanski.
“Over the years, AICO has always been fortunate in having a team that is passionate about what they do,” said Michael Amini, AICO founder and CEO, “and I couldn't think of anyone more deserving than Hank Butler to win this prestigious award as he has proven time and time again his passion for this company, and for his work.
“However, the whole sales team really has gone above and beyond the call of duty, which can be seen in the awards given out. I want to thank all the sales representatives for a wonderful year.”
