VINART dealerships

• Ray Travaglio

• Ray has been a member of the Acura sales team since October 2009 so he is just celebrating his one year anniversary with the company and he is doing so in terrific fashion.  Not only is Ray an Associate of Excellence but he also represented the Acura store at an Acura Zone 2 sales contest meeting in Atlantic City.  Ray beat out his fellow sales associates to spend the evening in Atlantic City at a dinner where he had a chance to win various monies and other prizes for his sales efforts throughout the summer.  Ray has an incredible business background and it shows in his work ethic and his results.  He?s established himself as a top sales performer and he is terrific with customers.

• Linda Wheeler

• Linda has been a member of the Vinart Body Shop team so she is celebrating her 15^th year with the organization and in that time a lot has changed.  Linda has handled her body shop estimating responsibilities well over the years and has endured the recent changes we have instituted with the attitude and professionalism of an Associate of Excellence.  She is largely responsible for the Progressive Insurance Direct Repair account.  Body shop estimating is complex and insurance company policies and procedures with respect to claims can be tedious.  Linda, we?ve challenged her over the past year to change and adapt and she has performed extremely well.

• Dino Campbell

• Like his counterpart at the Acura store and fellow AOE honoree, Dino is also celebrating his one year anniversary with the company having started back in October 2009.  His performance is outstanding from a sales and customer satisfaction standpoint but probably his most endearing quality is his attitude and willingness to help out.  Dino was overwhelming supported for this honor by a broad cross section of associates from a variety of departments.  We think this speaks volumes about his character and commitment to the company.  We are happy to have Dino as a member of our team and we look forward to succeeding with him in the future.
