The scores on the doors are as follows...!
So, my employer collated the salesman of the year figures again today in the late afternoon. A December challenge that often bares out the stats of 12 months. And guess what at just over £51K for the month alone, £10K ahead of the nearest salesperson....

Bristol Pete is your 'WINNER'

The second year running now. Have my name to be carved on the legendary shield and got a nice £400.00 bonus, as well as a nice new £150.00 camera bag and a camera from Nikon. Canon have also given me an i-pod touch which is very nice !!!!!!

So another December over and done with and still very much 'top boy in the firm'....

As paradox I take less pictures but hey ho, its a job but it is very much my good looks that help (see pic)

Happy new year one and all...!!!

Show off! :o) Well done BP, I'm sure fully deserved and well earned. You'll get change for Orlando flight tickets too . . dunno if operated from Bristiol . . maybe B'ham.

Take yourself off for a week or two with your 'mera and go get some R&R.

Cool. I might even travel to Bristol to get my new camera from you in February. You'll have to shave first though...

I do, but I was brought up by a pack of wild dogs, hence the hirsute nature. As such I cant play football as everytime the referee blows his whistle I go mental.

Re: The scores on the doors are as follows...!
That's top news and well deserved. I know that if I was a punter in your store and you were serving me, I'd be sure to run a mile. However others are more likely to be taken in by your beguiling wit and subject matter expertise, and part with their hard cash in droves.

Good work!!

Re: The scores on the doors are as follows...!
Pete, what you didn't say is that most of the £51k was bought by you

New Canon gear costs loads and they don't give much for Nikon in P/x

Great one, well done.

well done to that man! Nice little haul of stuff as well!

Had a cracking end to the year as well in my job (Independent Financial Adviser) so a nice bonus due in January that i will be spending some of it on a D90 (missus has given the thumbs up for me to purchase even thought it's my bonus!!)

Well played moylsey

Been in sales for much of my working life in one way or another and I know it can be a real a**e at times. So any victory is worth celebrating



Here's hoping 2009 is good too! I think we've all seen to much gloom in retail in recent months so it's nice to hear something positive.

Re: The scores on the doors are as follows...!
Nice work Pete - none of this is a surprise to me. After all, after popping in to see you earlier in the week, it was mere 45 seconds before you diverted my attention to a rather nice used D3 in the display case. Had I not been in a hurry, you may have swayed me.

Well done Pete, deserved recognition. It only reflects the help / adivce you willingly give to many of us on here, the difference is you can't get a sale out of it!

I would have been surprised if you weren't the best salesman in there.
Congrats! Well earned.
