The sales executives shown here were nominated by member companies of PICA, the Photo Imaging Council of Australia. Each company could choose one sales rep per state, based on the criteria that each nominee:

• Communicates effectively with clients at all levels;
• Strengthens bonds with existing clients;
• Consistently grows business in their territory;
• Regularly exceeds sales targets

Photo & Imaging News publishes the list of nominees and co-ordinates the voting. Retailers vote for the sales representative in their state who has the most of these attributes:

• Provides prompt and efficient client service;
• Always follows through on promises and commitments;
• Demonstrates a high level of product knowledge, including competitors' products;
• Maintains a close working relationship with the retailer.

The Photo Marketing Association will also email the list of nominees to all its retailer members, inviting them to vote.

To give representatives from all states an equal chance to win, the number of votes from each state is weighted according to estimates of the relative size of the industry in each state. The weightings are: NSW 1.0, Victoria 1.0, Queensland 1.4, South Australia 2.0, Western Australia 2.0, Tasmania 2.4.

The winner will be announced at PMA Imaging Technology Show 2008 in Brisbane on May 31.

VOTING HAS NOW CLOSED - THANK YOU.
