Advanced Equipment Company is proud to recognize Brian Hester as our 2024 Salesman of the Year.
This marks Brian’s third time earning this honor, an impressive testament to his dedication, expertise, and enduring commitment to his clients and team.
“Wow, what an honor it is to be the 2024 Salesman of the Year,” Brian shared. “First, I want to thank AEC for this incredible recognition. It means the world to me. I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the amazing partners that helped make this happen. And to my clients: your trust and partnership are the heartbeat of everything I do.”
Brian’s success is rooted in more than just numbers. “This award isn’t just about deals closed, though I’ll admit I’ve had fun chasing those! It’s about building relationships, solving problems, and bringing a lot of passion to every interaction. I love what I do, and I’m grateful to do it in a place that values that passion and hustle.”
AEC President Darin Boik added, “Brian is a great example of the qualities we value in our team. He is dedicated, responsive, and trusted by both customers and coworkers. His technical skills, deep product knowledge, and commitment to service have earned him strong, lasting relationships that continue to grow. I have known Brian since 1995 and have full trust in him. One thing I don’t understand is how he still manages to keep his golf game sharp too.”
Congratulations, Brian! We’re grateful to have you on the team and proud to celebrate your continued success.
