Quirk Ford Sales Consultant Receives National Employee Excellence (e2) Award

May 25, 2010, Quincy, MA… Quirk Ford an award-winning new and used Ford dealer serving Greater Boston, today announced that its sales consultant Robert Wilhelm has received an Employee Excellence (e2) Award from the Ford Motor Company for scoring amongst the highest in the nation in customer satisfaction, sales and training. The award, presented to 658 employees at Ford dealers nationwide, and only six employees at Greater Boston Ford dealers, honors those whose great work makes a difference for their customers every day, from the sales floor to the shop floor, when their Ford owners need a helping hand.

“Robert is the embodiment of the value we bring to our customers each day, whether it is finding them the right new or used Ford car, truck or SUV at the right price, or helping existing owners maximize the lifetime of their vehicle through detailed service,” said Paul Zupofska, General Manager at Quirk Ford. “Employees like Robert are the reason for impressive Ford sales numbers in recent quarters, and they are largely to thank for America’s growing realization that Ford is synonymous with ‘high quality’.”

Fueled by increased sales at Greater Boston Ford dealers like Quirk Ford, Ford announced this month that its April U.S. sales were up 25 percent over a year ago, marking the fifth straight month that sales have grown at least 20 percent. Meanwhile, Ford recently achieved the largest gain of any automaker in Automotive Lease Guide’s latest Perceived Quality Score, showing a 7.6 percent improvement since fall 2009 and building on gains from the past two years.

“The Employee Excellence Award is an affirmation of our belief that Quirk Ford is the Greater Boston Ford dealer to turn to, not just for buying a car, but for a lasting relationship between owner and car dealer after the purchase,” said Robert Wilhelm, Sales Consultant at Quirk Ford. “It is an honor to be recognized by Ford for the value that my colleagues and I bring to our customers.”

In recognition of the superior experience that Wilhelm and the rest of the Quirk sales team provide their customers, Quirk Ford was selected as one of the few Greater Boston Ford dealers to debut the all-new Ford Fiesta this summer.
