Competing among 520 entries from companies of all sizes from around the world, ALOM won a Stevie® Award for “Best Global Sales Team” in the third annual Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer ServiceSM last night.
The awards are presented by the Stevie Awards, which organizes several of the world’s leading business awards shows including the prestigious American Business Awards.
Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word “crowned,” winners were announced during a gala banquet on Monday, February 9 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Nominated customer service and sales executives from the U.S.A. and several other countries attended.
