LAS VEGAS, NV, August 20, 2020—Janek Performance Group, an industry-leader in innovative sales training, coaching, and consulting solutions, won bronze at the Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards in the Best Program for Sales Training and Performance category. Janek Performance Group’s win was announced on August 20, 2020. The winners are listed at http://www.brandonhall.com/excellenceawards/past-winners.php.
The award is a result of Janek’s work with healthcare insurer Blue Shield of California to provide an already successful and tenured sales force with enhanced sales and coaching skills and enable the implementation of a panorganization sales training curriculum and methodology.
“This award means a lot to all of us at Janek Performance Group, especially our team members who were involved in the successful rollout and execution of our training initiative with Blue Shield of California,” Janek Performance Group Managing Partner Justin Zappulla said. “The training was very well received by Blue Shield of California and required a considerable amount of resources, time, and talent. It’s terrific to have this training engagement recognized by the esteemed panel of judges at Brandon Hall.”
Being a recipient of the Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence in Sales Performance Award comes on the heels of other recognitions received earlier in the year, including a Gold Stevie Award for Janek’s flagship sales training program, Critical Selling Skills®, as well as having been named a Top 20 Sales Training Company by Training Industry and a Top 20 Sales Training Company for the seventh consecutive year by Selling Power.
“Organizations around the world highly value Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards – so much so that we received a record number of applications in the middle of a global pandemic,” said Rachel Cooke, Brandon Hall Group COO and leader of the HCM Excellence Awards Program. “The awards provide valuable recognition and validation of best practices in all areas of HCM at a time when they have never been more important to both employers and employees.”
Award entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts and executives based upon the following criteria: fit the need, design of the program, functionality, innovation and overall measurable benefits.
“2020 has certainly been a year with a unique set of challenges – not just for us, but for organizations and industries globally,” added Nick Kane, Managing Partner at Janek Performance Group. “But we continue to thrive and innovate as an organization, despite the current circumstances. Business and commerce must go on, and we have quickly adapted to the changing marketplace by offering virtual training delivery of all our training programs, as well as launching a brand-new curriculum, Selling Virtually™, which has been very well received by our clients over the last several months. This award is a great opportunity for our leadership team to thank our employees as well as our amazing clients like Blue Shield of California for the trust they put in us.”
