Hair vs. Wright: The Battle for the Blue Level

If an outsider were to walk into our Sales Floor at around 9:10 Monday morning, they might be surprised to witness one of our Account Executives hoisting a 4-foot, commercial-grade blue level and either offering an acceptance speech or playfully taunting other Account Executives on account of his/her victory.  Perhaps it seems strange, but the Blue Level has become a fun and permanent part of our Sales culture.  Each week, it is passed to the person with the most outstanding sales performance, and the recipient not only secures their spot in the history books by signing their name on the level, but they get to proudly display their trophy at their desk for the remainder of the week.

Recently, two particular Account Executives, Rachel Hair and Kevin Wright, have engaged in a figurative Tug-of-War for the Blue Level Award over the last 6 weeks, each having won it 3 times.

Take a moment to meet them both.

Name:      Rachel Hair
Nickname:      Red
Pod:       ConnXions

Name:  Kevin Wright
Nickname:    The Dominator

Yes, the battle ensues, but notice that these two big-hitters are batting on the same pod!   Pod leader Jamie Davies says she couldn’t be more proud of her two young pupils.  As for the rest of the Sales Pods, there is an understandable energy geared at knocking these two off their pedestals.  One of the neighboring Account Executives, Lyil Sperry, all but guaranteed to bring the Blue Level Award back to his pod, and to his credit, he has the Sales Quotes to do it if he can finish strong this week.Â
