When you excel at your job, you probably get a small bonus or an Employee of the Month plaque with your name on it. But two employees at a Mercedes-Benz dealer facility recently earned a safari trip for their spectacular efforts.
Tina Todd and Phil Markham, both executives for the UK-based Cicely Commercials dealer, specialize in van sales for the automaker. But they also look after some of the region’s largest van fleet operators for the company to ensure things are running smoothly.
The impressive duo received recognition from the Mercedes-Benz Van Sales Academy. This is a program that provides motivation and incentives for more than 150 dealers in the region and 25 sales managers. The actual trip includes an eight-day safari holiday in Zambia and Botswana.
Participants in the safari can get “up close and personal” with some of the animals they’ll see during the trip. They’ll also visit the breathtaking and world-famous Victoria Falls.
Besides the safari, the duo received the Van Academy Gold award. Other winners in the region include Andy Armitage, James Bell, Keith Jones and Stan Lyon, each working at his respective UK branch. All of these Mercedes-Benz employees won recognition by exceling in their dealerships.
It’s just another way that Mercedes takes care of its employees and customers in every way that it can.
