Puppy Wins Award for Salesperson of the Month

Puppy Wins Award for Salesperson of the Month

Baxter, who works in the New York office of media company Gannett, was toiling away in middle management until a breakthrough last year. Now the dog leads the entire company with over $10 million in advertising booked and has just won his fifth consecutive salesperson of the month award.

What caused his remarkable rise? Coworkers attribute Baxter’s success to the company’s use of video conferencing.

“Once we installed a new video conferencing system in the sales office, Baxter’s numbers took off,” said Elise Montgomery, who works in the Gannett office alongside the pup. “No one can say no to that face.”

Baxter has had the most success with sports and lifestyle accounts, having closed major deals with Reebok, Under Armour and Bass Pro Shops.

“You’d think he’d be in charge of all our pet-related inventory,” said Montgomery. “But those people are immune to Baxter’s charms. I guess for them, another cute puppy is just another cute puppy.”
