At the Annual Corporate Sales Conference for Eagle Communications, held Tuesday at Corporate Headquarters in Hays, KS, the North Platte Eagle Sales Staff received the first ever “Spirit Award” from its parent company.  The award recognizes the tremendous sales volume produced by the North Platte group in 2012.  The group narrowly missed the overall “Lead Eagle” market award, which went to the Hutchinson, KS sales staff for posting record sales in 2012.

As a whole, Eagle Communications reported its third straight year of record revenue and profit.  In addition, the company recently announced that it has completed purchasing the stock of founder and former owner, Bob Schmidt, of Hays, KS.  Eagle Communications is now one hundred percent employee owned.

Other awards made at the conference was Market Leader recognition for Connie Jurgens of the North Platte Staff.  Recognition was also given to Dianne Morales and Olivia Brown, both of the North Platte Office.

The winner of the Laura Osborne Award for new sellers was given to Shanna Christensen of the Hutchinson.  This award recognizes a seller who has made an immediate positive impact in their job, and honors the same qualities possessed by Laura Osborne, a former North Platte Sales Professional, who was tragically killed in an auto accident after only six months with Eagle Radio.
