Top Salesperson of the Year Award
This year the coveted #1 ‘Top Salesperson’ achievement was awarded to Matt Ingram from PRD Bendigo. This was Matt’s first year winning the title, an achievement that Matt reflected on in his speech.
“It might be an individual award but it’s not an individual effort. I really must thank the whole team for their support and all their hard work… Looking at where we are now it blows my mind. Thank you to Tom Isaacs (Principal of PRD Bendigo), he has been an absolute mentor to me… He has given me so much support, there’s been so many ups and downs, and he’s rooted for me, and he’s turned me into a better human.”
