It’s been nearly three months since RPH Irrigation Services was singled out with Reinke Pride awards as the highest selling dealership through North America – an achievement that’s propelling the Strathmore location to continue with its 30-year strategy and strive for greater success this upcoming year.
Every year, Reinke Manufacturing Co., the world’s largest privately-held manufacturer of centre pivot and lateral move irrigation systems, hosts the Reinke sales convention to distinguish superior achievement levels among dealerships.
RPH Irrigation Services, which has three locations in Alberta – including Strathmore – and one in Montana, received the award previously including last year. In October 2017, the company was also recognized as the number one highest selling dealership in the Northwest Territories, top parts dealer and top sprinkler retro dealer. In addition, RPH Irrigation Services locations were recipients of the Diamond Reinke Pride award and the Gold Reinke Pride award.
“It shows us, especially over a number of years, that we’re keeping our level of work up to keep getting that award because we have to keep our sales up to receive the award,” said Doug Davies, owner of RPH Irrigation Services in Strathmore.
“Over the years there’s been competition in this area and we’ve worked hard and with the job we’ve done we’ve pushed the competition out. I think we’ll follow the same path we’ve had for 30 years. It’s worked really well for us.”
The Reinke Pride awards are based on a dealership’s interior and exterior maintenance and housekeeping, safety, retail environment, indoor and outdoor displays, professionalism, promotion and event participation, market share and merchandising.
“Congratulations to RPH Irrigation Services on receiving these top awards,” said Reinke Vice president of North American Irrigation Sales Mark Mesloh. “We appreciate the dedication that they show to their agricultural community and are happy to have them representing the Reinke brand.”
The sales convention attracted 108 dealerships from across Canada and the United States on Oct. 5.
