“Our Dealer 360° awards program outlines a unified standard of operation that promotes consistency among Takeuchi dealers,” Jeff Stewart, president of Takeuchi-US told attendees. “We obviously want our dealers to be successful, and it’s our job to support them and provide the tools to make that possible.”
Parman Tractor & Equipment of Nashville, Tenn., earned the Dealer of the Year Award for 2023. The dealership focuses on providing top-notch service and machine expertise, making them a trusted partner customers return to again and again for their equipment needs.
“We’re incredibly pleased with the performance of our growing dealer network over this past year,” Stewart said. “Their dedication and commitment to excellence have helped Takeuchi continue to increase its market share in North America..”
Also at the Dealer Summit, Bill Smith of Cobb County Tractor in Marietta, Ga., received his unprecedented sixth consecutive honor as Takeuchi’s top-performing dealer salesperson in North America.
“Bill continues to challenge himself to be our top dealer salesperson, year after year,” said John Vranches, Eastern division sales manager for Takeuchi-US. “His customers say he has an uncanny way of knowing exactly what equipment they need to tackle their projects. He’s always able to identify the best possible solution, and that kind of experience isn’t easy to find. We congratulate Bill on yet another successful year, and we challenge him to outdo himself yet again in 2024.”
