The prestigious “Stevie” award for sales excellence was taken from the name Stephen, which is derived

from the Greek for "crowned." Since their inception in 2006, the Stevie Awards have been considered the world's premier business awards that honor and generate public recognition for the accomplishments of sales, customer service, and call/contact center professionals worldwide. "I am pleased for us to be

honored in this category for the second year in a row," said Paul Rittman, VP of Sales for TN. "This recognition is the direct result of the strong teamwork, superior performance and patient focus of our sales force, and the ongoing support from our field and home office partners. Congratulations to everyone…this was truly a team effort."
