AUSTIN, TX – At an intimate gathering in Austin on March 26, High End Systems National Sales Manager Craig Burross was presented an award from his peers and company founders for his achievement of $200 million in sales of High End Systems products. The Lifetime Achievement Award for $200M revenue is the culmination of Burross’ 17 years of sales leadership and contribution to High End Systems.
In addition to High End Systems co-founders Lowell Fowler and Richard Belliveau, Vice-President of Worldwide Sales Renaat De Wilde, members of the HES sales team and other key employees were also in attendance for the evening’s festivities.
Burross joined High End Systems in March 1991, and was instrumental in the company’s sales of Intellabeam HX, Trackspot, Cyberlight, Studio Color and other products in the US.
Burross commented, “I am incredibly honored to receive this recognition from my colleagues. I had never calculated the amount of gear sold over the years, so this award took me completely by surprise; I recall it was very enjoyable selling these fine products, and I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything. My life’s been wonderful with High End Systems, and I’m proud to be a part of the HES family. I’d like to thank my customers and the lighting designers that had faith in our products, the members of our team and the company’s owners for their support, and the many mentors that have helped me through the years. It’s impossible to name them all, but Sonny Sonnenfeld, Don Stern, John McGraw, John Huddleston, John Wiseman, Aidas Gimbutas, Terry Cain, George Studnicky and many others all influenced my sales mentality and drive in this industry.”
Lowell Fowler points out, “Craig Burross is a guru of sales. He has great technical ability and a passion for his industry and products. Craig’s people skills are unsurpassed, and his customers appreciate every opportunity to work with him.” Richard Belliveau adds, “I met Craig Burross walking up to High End Systems in 1989. He was working in the professional video trade. He also was an accomplished musician and was determined to work at High End. He was (as he is now) full of energy and determination. Who was going to tell him no?”
Burross adds, “This award is pure motivation for my continued passion for our goals. I think we led the industry with our product stability over time, and 2013 is a very exciting year for High End Systems. With the recently introduced Hog 4 line taking the world by storm, and a host of truly innovative new products such as Cyberlight 2.0, TechnoArc and SolaSpot LED, I look forward to my next $200 million, and being a part of this cutting-edge company for years to come!”
