Payment card processor was named the "Best Sales Organization in America"

Recently the American Business Awards, or as it is usually called - the Stevie Awards (the only award for the business industry) have honored Heartland Payment Systems, one of the leaders of plastic cards industry, with the 2008 Award for being the “Best Sales Organization in America.” According to the sponsors, it was not an easy decision as they had to choose from more than 2,600 entries from the businesses of all possible sizes and fields.

“This award is an honor because it not only recognizes Heartland, but also a part of the company that is a particular point of pride for us – our sales organization. For Heartland, our success is directly attributable to a strategic sales effort that not only values growth, but also relationships with our customers throughout the country. This is a credit to the members of our dedicated sales force who have committed themselves to the success of Heartland Payment Systems. They are the driving force behind our continued growth,” said Bob Carr, a chairman and CEO of the company.

Stevie Awards is not the only organization that has noted the excellence of the company. Earlier in December of 2007, Heartland was recognized by Selling Power magazine as the "Financial Services Sales Organization of the Year," and Executive Director of Sales and Service Irina Haydon was named "Sales Director of the Year."
