Top performers from across Mitsubishi’s 97 dealerships were recently honoured at the Triple Diamond Awards Gala, an annual event that allows Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada (MMSCAN) to recognize the top dealership managers and staff.
The recognition comes in four categories: Fixed Operations/Service Managers, Financial Services Managers, Sales Managers, and Sales Consultants. Out of 52 recipients, four people received the best result in each category and were named National Diamond winners:
- Ghyslain Périgny Verville, Parts and Service Manager, Trois-Rivieres Mitsubishi, (Québec);
- Rachel Fortier, Finance Manager, Sherbrooke Mitsubishi, (Québec);
- Barry Harrison, General Sales Manager, Kross Mitsubishi, (Edmonton); and
- Aaron Glena, Sales Consultant, Kross Mitsubishi, (Edmonton).
“We had record sales in 2023 and that reflects the work of all of the staff at our dealerships across the country,” said Kenji Harada, President and CEO of Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada, in a statement. “The group we celebrated at the Triple Diamond Awards event represents the best of the best in their fields.”
Harada credits much of the success that Mitsubishi Motors has witnessed over the past few years (up 62 per cent in total retail sales from fiscal year 2022-2023) to a dealer-first focus. The company said this focus has improved communication between OEM and dealer partners, and helped boost brand confidence on the part of the dealership teams.
“We’re heading into 2024 with momentum, but with a variety of challenges facing the industry once again, we need to rely on dealership leaders like the ones we honour through the Triple Diamond Awards to keep that progress moving forward,” said Harada.
