Western Power Sports held its annual National Sales Meeting and awards program Aug. 14-17 at its headquarters and at CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho. Numerous suppliers were in attendance to educate salespeople and demonstrate new products.
"WPS would like to thank the over 70 vendors that attended the 2012 WPS National Sales Meeting to train all of our inside and outside sales team," said Dan Lopez, 2/4 wheel product director. "The show was a great success. All of our reps came back with a ton of new product information to help them be more effective salespersons. Fortunately, it wasn’t all work. We were able to get away for a spectacular golf outing mid-week for everyone to blow off some steam [and we] had some scheduled events that fostered camaraderie between reps and manufacturer."
On Thursday, buses transported attendees to WPS’ headquarters for a barbecue lunch and tours of the facility. There, vice president Terry Baisley made an announcement about the company’s partnership with L&Mc Racing. Afterwards, three of the most aggressive salespeople were recognized and surprised with a helicopter flight to the company’s golf outing.
The weeklong training program ended with an awards banquet Friday evening, which was held at Boise State University’s Stueckle Sky Center.
"Having the entire WPS family together is always energizing for all of us," said Baisley. "So much is learned, so much is shared and so much is gained that we can share with our dealers."
"We’re looking forward to an even bigger event in 2013," added Lopez.
