Raleigh, NC – Pinnacle Marketing, announces it has presented to Keith Schultz of OTTO Controls, Inc, their Jaime Koroslev Excellence in Rep Support Award for 2007. This award is presented each year by the representative firm to an employee of one of their principals who they feel has unselfishly supported their sales efforts during the year. According to the president of the firm Doyle Evans, “we named this award in honor our late employee Jaime Koroslev, who was a model sales person and very keen on superior customer service.

This annual award helps us keep Jaime’s salesmanship alive while giving us an opportunity to recognize the support of key principal staff members.” He further states the nominee for this award is selected each year from a pool of highly qualified personnel from their principals making the selection difficult but very meaningful.

This is the first time this recognition has been awarded to the same person, as Schultz was also selected in 2000. According to Evans “we moved the bar of excellence a little higher making Keith Schultz the best of the best with his nomination for 2007.”
