GM Financial named Rawls Auto Auction, Leesville, South Carolina, 2014 Auction of the Year as part of the Company’s annual nationwide Auction of Excellence program.
After reviewing each of our 44 auction partners’ performance in customer service, marketing promotions, pre-sale activities and overall auction success, GM Financial has named Rawls Auto Auction as recipient of the 2014 Auction of the Year as part of the Company’s annual nationwide Auction of Excellence program. This is Rawls’ sixth GM Financial Auction of the Year award, receiving the recognition in 2006, 2009, 2010, 2012 and last year, making Rawls a three-peat winner.
Jimmy Rawls, President and General Manager of Rawls Auto Auction, accepted the award. “The reason we’re so successful is because everyone at Rawls wants to be number one. We all want it, and we all work hard to get it. Every single employee at Rawls puts his or her heart into being named Auction of the Year. After you’ve won that honor once, you want to win it again. We put a lot of emphasis on our GM Financial account knowing that if we treat it like our number one account, that choice will result in this type of success.”
The Auction of the Year winner was selected from GM Financial’s five top annual regional performers, designated as GM Financial’s Auction of Excellence winners. The year’s Regional Auction of Excellence winners are as follows:
- Midwest Region: Grand Rapids Auto Auction, Jenison, Michigan
- Northeast Region: Harrisburg Auto Auction, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania
- Southeast Region: Rawls Auto Auction, Leesville, South Carolina
- Southwest Region: Sparkling City Auto Auction, Robstown, Texas
- West Coast Region: Brasher’s Sacramento Auto Auction, Rio Linda, California
We recognize that many of these auctions' successes can be attributed to the extraordinary people who work the GM Financial lanes. That's why, in addition to recognizing our outstanding auction partners, we recognize an inside and outside coordinator who went above and beyond to move GM Financial vehicles through the auction process.
Gail Killian from Manheim Pennsylvania has been named Inside Coordinator of the Year, and Brian Proue from Manheim Texas Hobby has been named Outside Coordinator of the Year.
Congratulations to all of our winners!
