The first Hyundai Motor sales grand master in the Jeju region has emerged.

On August 20, Hyundai Motor announced that Kim Kyungbo, Sales Manager at the Jeju Beonyeong Branch, has become the first person in the Jeju region to achieve a cumulative sales record of 5,000 vehicles, earning him the title of sales grand master.

Since joining the company in 1993, Kim Kyungbo, Sales Manager, has sold an average of 147 vehicles per year over approximately 34 years. He had previously reached cumulative sales of 3,000 vehicles in 2013 and 4,000 vehicles in 2018.

In addition, he was selected a total of three times in 2009, 2010, and 2012 for the "National Sales Champion" award, which recognizes the top 10 employees nationwide each year based on annual sales volume.

Regarding his achievement of cumulative sales of 5,000 vehicles, Kim Kyungbo stated, "The figure '5,000' cannot possibly contain all the countless meetings, precious relationships, and the accumulated sweat and effort leading to this meaningful result," adding, "What is even more valuable than the 5,000 vehicles are the 5,000 connections and trust built with each customer."

He went on to say, "Rather than thinking of selling cars, I have always approached customers with heart, sincerity, and passion," emphasizing, "In the end, the secret to selling 5,000 cars was not just sales, but winning people's hearts."

Meanwhile, Hyundai Motor operates an "Honorary Sales Award System," awarding special prizes and titles according to cumulative sales achievements: those reaching 2,000 units are named "Sales Master Craftsman," 3,000 units "Sales Grand Master," 4,000 units "Sales Great Master," and 5,000 units "Sales Grand Master."

In addition, to encourage the efforts and achievements of employees who do their best at the front lines of sales, Hyundai Motor also recognizes annual outstanding sales employees with awards such as the "Master of the Year" and "The Class Awards," aiming to elevate their honor and pride.
