'Cumulative 4,000 Units Surpassed'... Kia Sales Manager Choi Kwangseop Becomes 'Grand Master'

Average Annual Sales of About 120 Units Since Joining... Cumulative Total Surpasses 4,000 Units in 34 Years
'Honor' Awarded to Outstanding Sales Employees

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Kia announced on the 27th that Choi Kwang-seop, Sales Manager at the Uijeongbu branch in Gyeonggi, has been awarded the title of ‘Grand Master.’

The ‘Grand Master’ is an honor given to outstanding sales employees at Kia who have achieved cumulative sales of 4,000 vehicles. Before Choi Kwang-seop, only 18 people had reached this difficult milestone.

Choi Kwang-seop, the 19th to become a Grand Master, joined Kia in 1988. He set a record this year by surpassing 4,000 vehicle sales after 34 years with an average annual sales volume of about 120 cars.

Sales Manager Choi Kwang-seop said, “The passion I had when I was a rookie, meeting over 100 customers daily and working late, has continued, and now I have reached the honorable position of Grand Master. My late father was proud and boasted that his son was doing well in sales and receiving awards, which motivated me to work hard.” He added, “I will continue to put my heart into returning the warmth I received from customers.”

Kia presented Sales Manager Choi Kwang-seop with a plaque and awarded him a large sedan, the K9, as a prize.

Kia operates various reward systems such as the Long-term Sales Honor Award System and the Kia Star Awards to boost the pride of sales employees and encourage healthy sales competition. The Long-term Sales Honor Award System grants titles and prizes upon reaching cumulative sales milestones: ‘Star’ at 2,000 units, ‘Master’ at 3,000 units, ‘Grand Master’ at 4,000 units, and ‘Great Master’ at 5,000 units.

Additionally, the ‘Kia Star Awards’ are held annually to celebrate the achievements of top-performing sales employees.
