Placing a high priority on encouraging and recognizing outstanding service, support and market achievement by the dealer community, Toshiba America Business Solutions Inc.

"On behalf of Toshiba, it gives me great pleasure to congratulate DNT as a Toshiba Certified Innovation Dealer Award recipient, and we especially want to recognize Mike Golinvaux and Dave Wilson and their dedicated staff for their long-standing commitment to championing the Toshiba brand," said Bill Melo, vice president of marketing, services and solutions for TABS.

First announced at the 2008 Toshiba National Dealer Meeting, the Toshiba Certified Innovation Dealer Award program evaluates authorized Toshiba dealers on their active use of Toshiba's full array of marketing, sales and service programs. To qualify as a Toshiba Certified Innovation Dealer, organizations must be nominated by Toshiba district sales managers and regional sales directors, and are judged on 13 separate criteria in three categories: 1) Innovation in Customer Service; 2) Innovation in Marketing; and 3) Innovation in Market Achievement. Top scoring dealerships are awarded the Toshiba Certified Innovation Dealer designation, an Innovation Dealer Award trophy, and other elite benefits.
"Being an independent dealer, we work with multiple partners, and we recognize how important it is to collaborate with a manufacturer that will not only support you with quality products and solutions, but also reinforce your sales and marketing initiatives. Toshiba is one of the best at understanding the personalized market approach we employ," said Mike Golinvaux, co-owner/president of DNT. "After being an authorized Toshiba dealer for more than 10 years, DNT is proud to have earned the title of being a Toshiba Certified Innovation Dealer.
