Every year, AAON takes pride in recognizing the outstanding efforts of our sales representatives who consistently deliver excellent service to our customers. The AAON Sales Awards shine a spotlight on these remarkable individuals and firms and honor the performance and expertise that set them apart in the industry.
To demonstrate our commitment to our reps and showcase how much we value their teams, we embarked on a journey across the country with a professional film crew. Together, we created videos about each award-winning firm, celebrating their unique successes and contributions to the HVAC industry.
“This project has been an incredibly rewarding journey. I've had the privilege to learn from each rep office, discovering what makes them truly exceptional. Their passion, innovation, and commitment are inspiring, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to share their stories.” — Derby Juez-Perez, AAON Field Marketing Manager
