Sales Excellence Awards

Salesperson of the Year Award

The individual whose results and customer trust set the standard.

About this category

This award recognises an individual salesperson who has delivered outstanding results over the last twelve months while earning the trust of the customers they serve. Judges look for performance against target, the quality of the business won and the way it was won.

Eligibility

Open to individual salespeople in any sector who are directly responsible for a revenue or sales target.

Judging criteria

  • Performance against target
  • Quality and profitability of business won
  • Customer relationships
  • Consistency
  • Professional conduct

Qualitative criteria

  • Customer focus
  • Persistence
  • Integrity and the respect of colleagues and clients

Metrics

  • Revenue or margin against target
  • Win rate
  • Average deal value
  • Retention of accounts won and client feedback

Additional criteria

Entries should include a concise case study, supporting figures and, where possible, client, manager or colleague evidence. Commercially sensitive numbers may be given as percentages or ranges. Judges consider the scale of the business and the market the entrant sells into, so smaller teams compete on equal terms.
