To earn the title of Thacker Salesperson of the Year, Connie had to beat out 3 time Salesperson of the Year champion, Todd Milner, who finished 2^nd in this year’s competition.

In earning the award, Connie grew her unit volume by an impressive 22% and established a new sales record for her territory.
