Hoka One One, designers of oversized cushioned running shoes and a division of Deckers Outdoor, announced it has chosen Venture Sports as its 2013 Sales Agency of the Year. Chosen for overall brand growth in the South East, the sales group was presented with the award at the recent HOKA ONE ONE sales meeting.
The Venture Sports team, led by principle Al Tunstall, and backed by Roger Jones, Kris Versteegen, and HOKA ONE ONE Field Service Rep, Cora Harms, captured top honors for its exceptional customer service with key accounts, enhanced regional marketing efforts and events, and strategic distribution management. The Venture Sports team covers Virginia, West Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi.
“Over the last year, Venture Sports consistently supported its customers by looking for ways to maximize growth opportunities,” said Jim Van Dine, president of HOKA ONE ONE. “They are a champion of our retail partners and a true asset to the HOKA ONE ONE brand.”
“This is an extraordinary accomplishment for the Venture Sports sales team especially since it’s the inaugural year for HOKA ONE ONE under the Deckers umbrella,” said Tunstall. “This year has been a perfect storm of great product, superb management and exploding customer awareness, all of which makes our jobs both fun and rewarding. Quite frankly, HOKA ONE ONE is a brand whose time has come.”
