[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] On the 16th, Yoomunsoo, Sales Manager at Kia Motors Unjeong Branch, achieved a cumulative sales record of 4,000 units, earning the title of Kia Motors 'Grand Master.'


The 'Grand Master' is an award given by Kia Motors to outstanding sales staff who have achieved cumulative sales of 4,000 units while working at Kia Motors. It is a difficult record to achieve, with only 12 people having earned the title until now.


Becoming the 13th Grand Master, Manager Yoomunsoo joined Kia Motors in 1990 and sold an average of about 140 units per year, surpassing 4,000 units in total after 30 years of service. On this day, Kia Motors presented Manager Yoomunsoo with a plaque and a reward vehicle, the K9.


Manager Yoomunsoo revealed his sales secret, saying, "I sincerely participated in various gatherings and volunteer activities and tried never to let go of the bonds formed once." He added, "It also helped that I deeply highlighted the advantages of our vehicles based on understanding the competitiveness of rival products to appeal to customers."
