In a surprise announcement today, Leonard Wright of MSSM was named “Rookie of the Year” by Weatherby executives at this year’s Annual Principal’s Meeting in Paso Robles, California.  Leonard received a coveted “Flying W” belt buckle along with an all expense paid trip to the annual Weatherby Writer’s Conference later this year.

Being in the outdoor trade business for years, Leonard isn’t really a “rookie”.  His title comes from the fact that Weatherby awarded the MINK states territory to MSSM (and Leonard) only months ago.  Congratulations to Leonard for his success with Weatherby.

In this time of uncertainty and tough economic conditions, there is one thing that remains unchanged and consistent: MSSM continues to deliver excellence and superior customer service. That fact was validated at this year’s annual 2009 SHOT Show in Orlando, Florida.

In recognition of that, CRKT awarded Mountain States Sports Marketing it’s coveted Sales Agency of the Year Award for the second year in a row. MSSM also received the Million Dollar Club Award for it’s stellar efforts in 2008.

To top it off, Steve Smart (pictured left) was presented with the Salesman of the Year Award by CRKT for his fantastic accomplishments.  Pat Haudbine (not pictured) presented the award and remarked that Steve has represented CRKT since it’s beginning and “continues to represent our company with great enthusiasm.”
