Thacker Caskets honors Bucky Stevens as 2016

Salesperson of the Year at National Sales Meeting

Bob Cullen awarded for 25

Years of Service

Bucky Stevens, 2016 Salesperson of the Year

CLINTON,MD—

From July 10th through July 13th,

Thacker Caskets

held its 2017 National Sales Meeting

in Frederick, MD. During the meeting, Thacker honored

various sales consultants, and awarded its Virginia sales

consultant,

Bucky Stevens,

2016 Salesperson of the Year.

The Sales Meeting featured not only educational train-

ing presentations from Thacker presenters, but also a key-

note presentation from industry expert,

Dan Isard

The

Foresight Companies.

In addition, Thacker sales consul-

tants had the opportunity for a question and answer ses-

sion with two local funeral directors and participated in a

tour of

Stauffer Funeral Home

of Frederick, MD. The

Thacker team had some fun with a company BBQ picnic

on Monday night and then the following night participat-

ed in an Escape Room experience.

On Wednesday, July 12th, Thacker held its Honors Din-

ner at The Wine Kitchen in Frederick. During the Honors

Dinner, Thacker presented five sales consultants awards.

Stevens was awarded Thacker Salesperson of the Year for

2016. “Bucky has been the definition of hard work since he

came on board with Thacker in September 2015 – he has

increased Thacker’s market share in Virginia substantially.

Bucky has also made a point to quickly and diligently learn

what is important to the funeral homes he serves and to con-

tinually educate himself on the industry and the issues his

customers face every day,” says vice president of sales and mar-

keting,

Danielle Thacker.

She adds, “The customers of Vir-

ginia are lucky to have Bucky serving their funeral homes.”

Bucky added, “I am humbled to be named as Salesperson

of the Year for Thacker. I would not be here without the

support of my loyal and committed customers. I am also

grateful for the hard work of the internal customer service

team as well as the insight of my sales consultant counter-

parts – teamwork makes the dream work!”

In addition to the Salesperson of the Year award, Thack-

er also honored

Bob Cullen

for his 25 years of service

as a sales consultant to funeral homes in the New Jersey,

Pennsylvania, and New York region. Bob started with the

company in 1991 and 2016 marks his 25th year with the

company. “At Thacker, every sales consultant is part of the

Thacker family, but Bob is the patriarch of the family. Bob

is not only committed to his customers, but also provides

valuable insight and mentorship to the other sales consul-

tants on the Thacker team,” said CEO

CJ Thacker.

There were three other sales consultants awarded for their

performance during the year of 2016.

Brittney Harris

Eastern Tennessee,

Laura Rosen

of Eastern Michigan and

Lori Anderson-Gordon

of South Georgia were all award-

ed Thacker’s “Top Performer” awards for their consistent

territory growth for the year of 2016.

CJ Thacker concluded, “I am proud to say that Thacker

has grown tremendously over the years, and 2016 only con-

tinued that trajectory of growth. The dedication, commit-

ment and hard work of our entire sales team, but specifically

the ones honored have fueled Thacker’s continued success.”

Thacker Caskets is the funeral industry’s leading family

owned funeral supply company since 1939. For more in-
