LAKE TAHOE, CA (November 17, 2017) – Centurion & Supreme Boats held their annual Dealer Meeting and Sales School November 12-14 . Dealers were invited to the spectacular Hyatt Regency Spa and Casino in Lake Tahoe to learn about the exceptional 2018 Centurion and Supreme boats and participate in sales training. Dealers collaborated on best practices while having fun with vendors and the Centurion and Supreme staff. Team Rider Grant Korgan, Founder of the Korg movement foundation, was the featured speaker of the 2017 Centurion & Supreme Dealer Awards Dinner presented by Extreme Custom Trailers & Wet Sounds. Korgan shared his wake surfing experience, faith, resilience, and inspired the group. The meeting was punctuated with the presentation of awards to outstanding salespeople and dealerships.
“I couldn’t be prouder of the work that was accomplished at the 2017 Centurion & Supreme Dealer Meeting,” acknowledged Paul Singer President of Centurion & Supreme Boats. “But my favorite part of the meeting was just being together. This meeting gave me the opportunity to get to know our dealers in a fun, productive environment and for that reason I am so unbelievably energized about the future of these brands.”
The Centurion & Supreme Team hosted classes, educating dealers about each brand and boat model, marketing initiatives, and analyzing the competition. The meeting was not all business, however, and many took the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful outdoors by hiking near the hotel, taking some well-deserved time in the Spa and trying their luck at the Wheel of Fortune machine.
Dealers, vendors, and the Centurion & Supreme staff strengthened business relationships and developed comradery during the event. Attendees participated in a Team Building Challenge, where they competed in a photo scavenger hunt running around the hotel taking silly pictures. Roswell Marine & Extreme Trailers hosted a Fireside Hangout, allowing salespeople to mingle with one another while enjoying Nacho bar and a campfire.
The last night of the meeting, Paul Singer, President of Centurion & Supreme Boats introduced guest speaker and team athlete Grant Korgan who spoke about faith and perseverance relating to his miraculous comeback from serious injuries. Amy Mauzy, VP of Marketing and Sales for Centurion & Supreme Boats, hosted the Dealer Awards, recognizing the remarkable sales, customer service, and charitable achievements of salespeople and dealerships of the past year.
