LISLE, Ill., Aug. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- IC Bus, the
leading school bus manufacturer and subsidiary of Navistar, today
announced Joel Landry of Western
Canada Bus as the grand champion of the inaugural 2018 IC
Bus® Walk-Around Competition. Landry was one of six IC
Bus dealer salespeople who had been named regional winners. The six
received an all-expense paid trip to attend STN Expo in
Reno, Nevada, where they were
required to demonstrate their walk-around skills in front of a live
panel of experts.
"The walk-around process is an essential selling skill and when
executed at a high level, allows you to truly differentiate
yourself and the IC Bus product," said Trish Reed, vice president and general manager,
IC Bus. "The competition was designed to give every dealer sales
professional the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in the
technical and creative presentation of the CE Series product."
To participate in the competition, each sales professional had
to submit a personal video conducting a 10-minute walk-around of
the CE Series, focusing on the bus's product features, advantages
and benefits, as well as value-added items as provided by the
dealer.
While only one champion was crowned, IC Bus also recognized
Ashley Hailston from Cumberland
International as the People's Choice Award winner–voted on by IC
Bus and International® Truck dealers and Navistar
