The Mentor of the Year award recognizes Peppler as the program’s most outstanding mentor, as voted on by the program’s students. Peppler was chosen from over 110 mentors currently participating in the program.
“I am extremely honored to be recognized by this award and by these exceptional students,” said Bill Peppler, Associate Vice President of SkillStorm. “My door is always open for them for whatever they need; we even had about 20 or so students come by the SkillStorm office to check out our sales team in action during the course of the program. This year’s class has been truly impressive.”
The UCF Professional Selling Program, previously known as the Sales Track Program, is a prestigious, specialized course offered by the UCF Marketing Department and College of Business Administration.
