The jan/san industry is not a product-centered business, it’s a people-centered one. Success in commercial cleaning is the direct result of passionate personnel placing tools in the hands of those who work to create safe and healthy environments. As an integral intermediary, the sales team connects distributors with end users to establish and sustain lasting partnerships. The notable members of this group—the sales superstars—go one step further by not only leading the sales division in setting and meeting goals but also guiding others to success alongside them.
Sanitary Maintenance annually solicits nominations to recognize the sales leaders who consistently go above and beyond both personally and professionally.
