Gokongwei-led firm Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC) did it again! RLC, one of the country’s biggest property developers, successfully celebrated its 2005 yearend sales and marketing campaign with a big bang. The bigwigs of the corporation were so happy with another sales record-breaking year, that they booked the trendy Royale Tagaytay Country Club for a hearty out-of-town party and sumptuous feast for RLC’s entire sales force.
The highlight of the night was a speech made by the visionary
Frederick Go, RLC’s EVP and chief operations officer, who was all praises for the passionate contributions of his dedicated sales force. He was ably assisted by the equally hardworking
Danilo Ignacio, RLC High-Rise Buildings GM. During the grand evening, the Annual Grand Sales Champions were saluted, highlighted by the awardees for Top Sales Director, Top Sales Manager and Top Account Managers. Also recognized and given honor were the members of the Millionaires’ Club — men and women who had proven themselves time and time again.
Congratulations and here’s to more sales!
