The Vernon Company Names Jim Heurung Supplier Account Manager of the Year

The Vernon Company, Newton, Iowa, has awarded its second annual “Supplier Account Manager of the Year" award to Jim Heurung, regional sales manager, Hit Promotional Products, Largo, Fla. Heurung was honored during The Vernon Company's annual national sales meeting held in Albuquerque, N.M.

The Vernon Company began honoring individual supplier sales representatives for outstanding service and dedication to The Vernon Company and its account executives in 2014. The company strives to recognize those people who continually go above and beyond expectations.

“This award recognizes a supplier representative who always gives just a little bit more than expected," said Vicki Palm, supplier relations manager for The Vernon Company. "No one does that better than Jim Heurung. Jim plays a key role in a very successful Vernon-Hit partnership. He takes care of any individual account executive need that comes his way. He is in contact daily (sometimes numerous times daily) with Vernon account executives, providing quotes and product ideas, and solving any issues that may arise. He makes Vernon a priority all day, every day.”

“I am proud to accept the Vernon Account Manager of the Year award on behalf of all of us at Hit,” said Heurung. “It means that the group effort at Hit is paying dividends. We strive to take care of each and every order the same, regardless of size, because it is important to our customers that every order is done right the first time. At Hit, we know we have to change to keep up with the competition within our industry. Winning this award is like the icing on the cake. It means our efforts are getting recognition. With that said, sales always seem to follow."
