Bryant Heating and Cooling Systems has announced the 2009 Medal of Excellence regional winners.

Fifteen Bryant Factory Authorized Dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada were selected for the prestigious award and were to compete for the Dealer of the Year title at Bryant’s Indy 500® Dealer Rally on May 28.

“Bryant has always been committed to providing dependable, worry-free comfort, but we couldn’t do that without our dealers who sell the products, install them and keep them running smoothly,” said Tom Archer, Bryant brand manager. “The Medal of Excellence regional winners do ‘Whatever It Takes’ to grow their businesses, while maintaining the highest levels of customer satisfaction.”

Applicants are judged on overall Bryant branded product sales growth, high-efficiency and indoor air quality equipment sales growth, customer satisfaction and participation in various dealer programs and promotions. There is also a self-assessment component to the scoring. The applicants with the highest overall scores are chosen as regional winners.

The 15 regional winners come from five different geographic regions, with each region having three tiers of winners. Tiers are based on total annual sales volume.
