Jessica Marquardt and Julian ParrisJessica Marquardt and Julian ParrisJessica Marquardt and Julian ParrisJessica Marquardt and Julian Parris, the virtual event took us around the world to hear from sales management who shared insights into what the year looked like from their perspectives. The comments were as kind as they were clever, sharing credit across groups and geographies and praising people who took time to help others in this unprecedented year. Said Adrian Turner, “The resourcefulness that you’ve demonstrated in this past year has been outstanding.”
Of course, the winners for regional sales awards as well as the Elite Sales Circle were announced. Even though we didn’t get to hear applause as winners were revealed, the Zoom chat lit up with celebratory and congratulatory comments.
With great pride, Bryan Yan thanked the entire APXJ team for their significant achievements, for their hard work, and for their

Explained host Jessica Marquardt, JMP leaders spoke in their native tongues so that they could be as comfortable in front of the camera as possible, and as effusive as they wanted to be about their teams. English subtitles made this possible.
“You kept connecting with prospects and customers, even as we had to move online only,” said John Sall. He commented that our division achieved $100 million in sales, two years in a row. “That’s solid growth even in the middle of the worst pandemic in 100 years.”
Brady Brady said, “As 2020 showed us, JMP makes a product that helps customers solve their most important problems.”
