ATLANTA, GA — Takeuchi honored Bill Smith of Cobb County Tractor as the Dealer Salesperson of the Year at the Dealer 360° Awards reception during CONEXPO/CON-AGG in Las Vegas, Nevada. Smith ranked No. 1 in Takeuchi sales throughout North America, making him the Salesperson of the Year for the seventh time — more times than any other Takeuchi dealer sales representative in the U.S. has ever achieved.

“Bill continues to set a high standard,” said John Vranches, Eastern Division Sales Manager for Takeuchi-US. “He understands his customers’ needs and consistently delivers the right equipment solutions for their projects. That kind of experience and consistency is not easy to find. We congratulate Bill on yet another very successful year, and we look forward to seeing what he accomplishes in 2026 and beyond.”

Cobb County Tractor also won a Dealer 360° Award for excellence in sales performance, facilities, training, accounts receivables, marketing/parts, and service.

“Our success starts with strong dealers and salespeople, which is why we created this awards program,” said Jeff Stewart, President of Takeuchi-US. “It sets clear operational standards that help deliver a consistent customer experience and support long-term growth.”
