Diversified conglomerate Sunshine Holdings PLC announced that 13 members from their sales teams have been recently recognized at the SLIM National Sales Awards (NSA) 2023, winning 02 Gold, 06 Silver, 04 Bronze and 01 Merit awards.
Sales forces have become invaluable, especially in the competitive business environment. They are vital to the growth and sustainability of any business. They act as the bridge between products and the customers and play a key role by being the ambassadors of brands, the custodians of customer relationships, and the growth drivers of businesses. Especially during the last two years, the exceptional efforts of sales teams have enabled Sri Lankan companies to navigate tough macroeconomic conditions.
In such a context, the awards won by members from Sunshine Consumer Lanka and Sunshine Healthcare Lanka (Pharma and Medical Devices) sales teams are a testament to their dedication and resilience during these unprecedented times. Furthermore, each member’s passion, courage and perseverance have ensured exemplary performance to drive sales in tough competition and volatile market conditions.

This recognition reaffirms our commitment to fostering a culture of inclusivity and excellence. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to each member of our sales teams for their outstanding performance and contribution to Sunshine Holdings’ success,” Govindasamy commented further.
The candidates were judged by an esteemed panel of judges, who evaluated their abilities to drive business in volatile market dynamics, strategies implemented to achieve targets, innovativeness in execution, potential to grow in the sales field and ability to conquer the marketplace.
