Auto Solutions’ Somers Smith has been recognised by Suzuki Caribbean as one of the region’s top three sales representatives for the second time in a year.

The 27-year-old Bermudian sales associate received the honour from the regional distributor’s Rewards & Recognition Programme for the fourth quarter of 2022, repeating his success of the first quarter of last year.

The awards are based on customer satisfaction surveys and Mr Smith ranked in the top three among sales representatives working for official Suzuki dealers in 26 countries.

Tim Petty, assistant sales manager at Auto Solutions, said: “These awards are testament to Somers’ hard work, can-do attitude and exceptional people skills. Customers have warmed to his personable manner and they appreciate that he truly listens to what they need.”

Mr Smith, who has been with the company for two years, said: “During my first week, all my colleagues had contracted Covid-19, so I was a one-man show by necessity.

“I had to educate myself very quickly on the cars and the procedures. Overcoming the challenge of that first week gave me the confidence to become a successful car salesman.”
