O’Reilly Auto Parts Honors DuPont Nason Team for Training and Tech Support
The DuPont Nason team has been named Supplier of the Year for Training and Technical Support for vendors under $4 million in sales by O’Reilly Auto Parts. The award was presented at O’Reilly’s National Managers Conference in Tulsa, Okla. on Feb. 23.The DuPont Nason team was instrumental in the highly successful rollout of Nason products in O’Reilly stores in 2003.
Darren Shaw, O’Reilly merchandise product manager, said that Nason product point-of-purchase sales showed a dramatic increase in 2003, due in large part to the training and sales aids provided by the Nasonâ team.
“They really stepped up to the plate,” Shaw said. “They did a tremendous amount of field work, making joint shops calls and conducting training. And they put together product kits and a reference guide that were invaluable in helping our people to understand the Nason product line and how to fit it to our customers’ needs.”
Members of the DuPont Nason team are: Jerry Pater, Central Regional manager; Bill Matthews and Robert Clements, account managers; JoAnn Zehrung, coordinator/support for training and marketing, and Pat Horan and Tammy Adjunta, store support/training.
O’Reilly has more than 1,100 stores in 17 states, with total sales of about $1.3 billion in 2003. Some 550 of the stores sell paint.
