“Our sales training program has been critical to developing team members for the next steps in their sales careers, and I am thrilled that IES has chosen to recognize our program as a category winner,” says Vineeta Mooganur, Chief Growth Officer, Corporate Practice, Hanover Research.
“Our sales trainings help optimize performance of staff from entry-level to leadership level. I am pleased to see the hard work and rigor of this program receive recognition as an IES Sales Excellence Awards winner,” said Sid Phillips, Chief Growth Officer, Education Practice, Hanover Research.

Awards were presented in four categories recognizing sales & business development operational excellence. Partners, customers and clients nominated this year’s winners and finalists for their leadership and vision in sales. The four categories were for Excellence in: Sales Innovation; Sales Training; Sales Management; and Partnering.
Finalists were selected from a large pool of nominees by an independent panel of expert judges for their commitment to excellence in multiple sales and business development categories. More than 23 companies submitted for the Sales Training category and six finalists were announced in May 2019.
“The excellence demonstrated by the winners and all of the finalists was inspiring,” said Fred Diamond, President and Co-Founder of the IES. “Every year, the IES recognizes companies that are doing great work to show value to their customers, in these cases, across multiple industries.
