Konica Minolta announced its recent dealer award winners, recognizing accomplishments during its 2023 fiscal year (April 1, 2023 – March 31, 2024). The company honored top performers for revenue growth and excellence both overall and in the areas of production print and digital transformation (DX) during its dealer events this week.
This year, Konica Minolta has been hosting smaller, more intimate events with its dealers. The focused events allow for a deeper dive into new technologies, opportunities and sales strategies, as well as the opportunity for more one-on-one conversations. This past week, the company hosted its midwest and west communities of mid-market dealers, followed by its top 25 performing dealer partners, with both events being held in Chicago, Illinois.
