It has been a great honour for me to serve as the Panel of Judges for the 53rd Distinguished Salesperson Award (DSA) Programme. I am deeply impressed by the level of professionalism of the participants and appreciated their contribution toward bringing the sales profession to the next level. I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to all the winners and share their joyous moment of harvest.

Selling is one of the most important parts of a business. In today's tough economic times, business focus is shifting away from sales figures to customer experience and long term value relationships. The sales professionals in this programme have demonstrated top-notched salesmanship skills and the passion to their profession.

The DSA has been very successful over the years and this annual event has made an important and profound impact not only on people in the sales profession but also on our business community. More and more companies from both traditional and emerging industries have come to participate with their top performing staff to compete for the honours.

The DSA has certainly been one of the very important events over the years in stimulating businesses to invest into training their staff and elevating their professional sales skills. We have been witnessing continuous improvement in the professionalism of people in the trade and this has benefited consumers and businesses alike. This is also one of the many facets of Hong Kong that has helped us compete successfully both regionally and globally.

I wish for the very successful conclusion of this year’s event, and a bright and successful career for all our awardees.

The unique and important role of salespersons is to bridge the gap between the potential customer’s needs and the products/services that the organization offers. Sales & Marketing is in fact an essential element of every sector that has a public interface and the salespersons do play a key role in the building of loyalty and trust between customer and business.

The HKMA SME Club Distinguished Salesperson Award (DSA), often dubbed the "Oscars" of the sales profession, is the premier honor to acknowledge excellence and provide community-wide recognition for the city’s top salespersons. It is my great honour to be able to serve as the Panel of Judges of the Award for year 2021. In the course of judging, I have been deeply impressed by the elites who demonstrated their service expertise, flexibility and adaptability, strong work ethic, customer intimacy, and commitment to continuous improvement.

I strongly believe that professional and ethical salespeople should be recognized for their hard work and dedication to the industry. I look forward to your nominations and wish all participants every success in their professional and personal undertakings.

It has been a great pleasure to serve as the Panel of Judges for the 53rd Distinguished Salesperson Award (DSA). On behalf of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, I wish to extend my heartfelt congratulations to this year’s winners.

The DSA Programme is an ideal platform for disseminating best practices in customer service and for salespeople to share their experience. Good customer service is essential for building enduring customer loyalty. In a consumer-driven and service-oriented economy like Hong Kong, customer loyalty is an important element of continuing development and success in business.

For businesses to stay competitive amid the current challenging environment, sales professionals need to be not only diligent but also agile. Besides possessing the required expertise about their products and services, they should respond to the changing market conditions and update their skills, for example by embracing digital transformation.

I would like to thank the Hong Kong Management Association for organizing this annual Award. It is inspiring to learn about the professional salesmanship and achievements of the awardees this year, which have set a fantastic example to their peers and will motivate them to strive for excellence.

May I also convey my best wishes to the Association in its future endeavors to promote the pursuit of excellence in customer service. This will ultimately benefit Hong Kong by strengthening its reputation as a cosmopolitan, global and welcoming city.
