'Accumulated Sales of 4,000 Units' Park Seongryong, Kia Motors Sales Manager, Rises to Grand Master

[Asia Economy Reporter Su-yeon Woo] Park Seong-ryong, Sales Manager at Kia Motors Jinju Branch, has achieved cumulative sales of 4,000 units, earning the title of 'Grand Master.'

On the 17th, Kia Motors awarded Manager Park, the 15th Grand Master, with a plaque and a reward vehicle, the K9. Park joined Kia Motors in 1997 and has sold an average of about 180 units annually, surpassing a total of 4,000 units in 23 years.

The 'Grand Master' is an honor given by Kia Motors to outstanding sales employees who have achieved cumulative sales of 4,000 units while working at Kia. Only 14 people had earned this title before, making it a challenging record to attain.

Manager Park revealed his sales secret, saying, "I made efforts to keep even small promises to build trust with customers," and added, "Not losing the initial mindset that trust is equivalent to ability greatly helped my sales activities."

Kia Motors operates various reward systems, such as the Long-term Sales Honor Award System and the Star Awards, to encourage sales employees who do their best in the field and to promote healthy sales competition. The Long-term Sales Honor Award System grants the title and rewards as follows: 'Star' upon reaching 2,000 cumulative sales, 'Master' at 3,000, 'Grand Master' at 4,000, and 'Great Master' at 6,000 units sold.
