Gray Dobbins was honored with Gensun Casual Living’s Sales Representative of the Year Award at this year’s Chicago International Casual Furniture & Accessories Market™. The award is presented annually to a Gensun Casual Living sales representative for achievement in sales, customer service, communication, dealer and market growth, and business ethics.

Dobbins has been selling Gensun Casual Living lines since 2004 in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Growth in the territory has been nonstop, over the years, and was an astounding 44% in 2013–2014. Dobbins has spent his entire professional career as a casual/outdoor-furniture representative, starting with (and learning from) his father, Harry Dobbins. Dobbins was also a finalist for the 2014 International Casual Furnishings Association’s award for sales representative of the year.

Jan Trinkley, executive vice president of Gensun Casual Living, says, “Gray achieved this honor with flying colors. He excels not only in sales achievement, but in working with his customers in the areas of training, product display, customer service, marketing, and ethics. His communication skills and knowledge of the industry are additional assets to his customers and to Gensun Casual Living. We are very proud to have Gray on our team.”
