Richards Honda Sales Consultant Philip Cash Recognized by American Honda for Top Sales-Volume Achievement

Baton Rouge, LA, April 9, 2010 – Sales Consultant Philip Cash from Richards Honda in Baton Rouge was recently honored by American Honda Motor Co., Inc., for achieving one of the highest sales volumes in 2009 while meeting rigorous standards for customer satisfaction and product knowledge. Cash is one of only 33 out of more than 12,000 Honda Sales Consultants nationwide to receive recognition for this achievement. This prestigious designation was awarded as part of the Honda Council of Sales Leadership program, which promotes professionalism among Sales Consultants in Honda dealerships across the country. 

To merit the Top Sales Volume award, Cash had to first qualify for the 2009 Council of Sales Leadership by exceeding an annual sales objective, receiving exceptional customer satisfaction scores, and demonstrating expertise in Honda product knowledge. By excelling in these categories, Cash was judged to have the ability to best serve Honda’s customers. This is the fourth year Cash has earned membership in the Council of Sales Leadership.

In recognition of his top-ranking sales, Cash received a special plaque at a Council of Sales Leadership awards banquet and other recognition awards.

American Honda Motor Co., Inc., today announced that it has received three Residual Value Awards from ALG. ALG's 11th annual Residual Value Awards, for the 2010 model year, honored the vehicles in each industry segment that ALG predicts will retain the highest percentage of their original price after a three-year period.

The Accord won the award in the Best Midsize Car category, the Fit was the winner in the Best Compact Car category and the Odyssey prevailed in the Best Minivan category. Since 2001, the Honda brand has earned 20 model awards and six overall brand awards from ALG.

"In a challenging economy, residual value moves up on the list of buyer considerations," said John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "These ALG awards once again recognize Honda's commitment to offer high-quality products with long-term value."

ALG determines the award winners after carefully studying the competition in each segment, historical vehicle performance and industry trends. Vehicle quality, production levels relative to demand, and pricing strategies are among the key factors that affect ALG's residual value forecasts.
