Nick Ruggeri, Residential Inside Sales Consultant and three-time Exceed winner

Each year Windstream recognizes its top performers in C/SMB in our Exceed program. Employees may earn a spot on the Exceed incentive trip by excelling in sales and customer service as demonstrated by their bottom-line results, customer feedback, and quality assessments. Culture Champions who embody our Windstream values are also chosen to participate in recognition of their important contributions to the organization.

In addition to fun and relaxation, participants have the opportunity to spend quality time with corporate leaders and to meet their counterparts from other parts of the company, building cross-departmental relationships to foster future success.

“The Exceed program challenges me to perform at the highest level. Not only do I enjoy the luxury trip as a reward, but I also get excited by the chance to interact with other leading performers from throughout the company and top executives. Every year, I come back charged up to make sure I qualify for the next year’s trip!”
