Sadaharitha Plantations Ltd clinched unprecedented wins receiving one of the highest honours of the night – Outstanding Female Sales Person of the Year, at this year’s prestigious National Sales Congress (NASCO) 2018, organised by the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM).
As the only national event that annually recognises and rewards the finest sales professionals in the country and celebrates their achievements, Sadaharitha’s triumph with a total of four impressive awards including the top converted title exemplifies the company’s deep commitment in focusing on the development of its employees; a benchmark achievement against others in the same industry.
Competing for All Island Best Awards in the Financial Services Sector amidst multinational and local giants, Sadaharitha’s Thanusha Nimari scooped the Outstanding Female Sales Person of the Year award and also proudly walked away with Gold in the Front Liner category, while U.G. Mangalika received Bronze for the same category. In the Territory Manager category, P.H. Sumedha received the Silver Award.
Commenting on these achievements, Jayampathy Mirando, Director Sales and Marketing Sadaharitha Plantations Ltd said “We are proud and delighted by the remarkable wins of our sales professionals. These awards confirm our belief of the importance of providing them what they need to progress and become successful among their peers and not what is perceived as only company requirements.”
Explaining the company’s solid track record in delivering improved sales and employee productivity, Mirando noted, “We continuously impress upon the need to provide our staff with vital skills development, theory plus practical. We have created a compelling sales development programme and our training is based on ownership by the sales team members, who themselves propose and discuss their needs for development and true mindset change. Our pride remains on customer satisfaction even after the sale is made and this important transformation can only be achieved through targeted training.”
