AIS is pleased to announce another successful year having surpassed the sales goals set by the company thanks to a top-notch sales team and bolstered by new product launches, exceptional service, and ease of doing business.

The national sales meeting, held annually, welcomed just over one hundred from around the country and their central Massachusetts headquarters to celebrate another record-breaking year of growth. The meeting took place over three days in early February with presentations from teams across the company to celebrate successes, share information, recognize sales achievers, and provide a glimpse of what to expect in 2024.

AIS’ two senior vice presidents Ben Maxwell and Doug Bowen lead the meeting which featured a jam-packed agenda with nightly gatherings. The event culminated with the announcement of four promotions to members of the sales team: Justin Brzostowski, Anthony Heim, Chelsea Snow, and Modesto Montemayor.

“The AIS sales team is focused on our dealers, and it shows. Our internal teams become an extension of our dealers’ teams as they work to meet the needs of their end users. So, when we elevate members of our sales team, it’s because of their ability to develop these partnerships for the benefit of all involved. We are fortunate to have these, and all of the members, of our sales team,” said Ben Maxwell.
