# Belkins celebrates Brian Hicks' achievement

Published: 2024-04-17

We are thrilled to announce that Brian Hicks, VP of Sales at Belkins, has been honored with the prestigious [Bronze Stevie® Award](https://stevieawards.com/sales/2024-stevie-award-winners#SalesIndividual) as the Worldwide Sales Executive of the Year.

This accolade was presented during a gala event at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada, attended by over 400 professionals from across the globe on April 12.

The Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service recognize outstanding performances in professional sales and customer service. They are part of a globally respected series that includes the American Business Awards® and the International Business Awards®.
This year's Stevie Awards saw over 2,300 nominations from organizations in 44 countries, spanning every industry imaginable. Brian's recognition comes in a highly competitive field, with winners chosen based on the average scores from more than 200 professionals worldwide who served on seven specialized judging committees.
Brian Hicks became a pivotal part of Belkins' journey towards industry dominance when he joined us in 2020.
At that time, we were already a prominent name in lead generation, ranked among the top 5 with a robust team and impressive revenues. Since then, his exceptional skills in sales strategy and execution have significantly boosted our trajectory, establishing Belkins as the [leading lead generation agency recognized by Clutch](https://clutch.co/call-centers/lead-generation/leaders-matrix).
His remarkable consistency in performance and ability to exceed quarterly KPIs by 120-130%, along with his effective client management, have sustained and enhanced our growth and client retention. In 2022 alone, Brian’s efforts directly contributed to a revenue increase of $2.1M from new clients.
Brian's journey at Belkins has been both inspiring and transformative, marked by personal challenges. His resilience and dedication have shaped him into not only a top-tier sales executive but a beacon of strength within our team.
