In September 2016, Walker Manufacturing introduced two new dealer recognition programs, honoring their best-performing, most active dealers worldwide.
The first award was given to the “Top 25 Dealers” based on the number of unit sales registered over the last three years. Using that three-year-period sales metric emphasizes dealers who have strong, consistent sales performance over extended seasons, while encountering the typical variations in weather and economy.
The second award is named “Five Star Dealer”, created to recognize the top five dealers worldwide, using several areas of measurement and qualification. Walker distributors participated in the selection process and nominated their best dealers. The final selection was made by the Walker factory team. Being a Five Star Walker Dealer is a lifetime achievement award and is given only once; in subsequent years there will be another group of five. Five Star Dealers also received an all-expense paid visit to the factory and were honored at the annual distributor meeting, plus they enjoyed a weekend getaway at the Four Seasons Resort in Vail, Colorado.
Creating dealer awards is a new initiative for Walker. For many years, Walker distributors have been recognized for their performance, but not dealers. Walker Manufacturing and their distributors recognize they would not have the opportunity to be in the manufacturing/distribution business without the sales and service delivered by their dealers. Thinking back, Walker recognizes that dealer award giving is overdue; it is time to recognize the top-performing dealers with a note of appreciation and recognition for a job well done.
