LEWISTON – Based on such factors as sales performance, adherence to a business plan and efforts to reduce employee turnover, the Business Technology Association recently named Budget Document Technology of Lewiston as one of three recipients of the organization’s 2005 “Reseller of the Year” awards. The awards were presented Feb. 4 during the annual BTA membership meeting, held at the Imaging Technology Education and Exposition show in Las Vegas.

The award is based on four key performance categories: finance, including average sales per employee, gross margin, inventory turnover and average collection period; operations, including effectiveness in reducing employee turnover, customer-focused programs, business plan goals and objectives, and 2004 business growth pattern; vision, including marketing innovations related to selling future technologies and adherence to a formal vision statement; and involvement, including industry recognition and community involvement. The dealerships were selected as award winners based on a comprehensive candidate evaluation profile and verification of vendor and client references.

BTA is a member organization representing over 2,500 independent dealers of office equipment.
