2024 Sales Manager of the Year - Tracy Yeadon


Tracy Yeadon, recognized as 'Sales Manager of the Year,' has been instrumental in driving True Homes' success through her innovative sales strategies and exceptional leadership qualities. “Our approach to leading sales, a part of the business many see as so variable that they treat it as a black box, has always been to break down each individual part of the sale, put a written strategy in place, build training, infrastructure, tools, support and then observe and coach to ensure execution,” says Yeadon. “A key ingredient to execution is to hire really good salespeople and coach them to their highest potential. We are so blessed to have such an incredible sales team down to each individual team member. After that my personal philosophy is to love them fiercely and hold them accountable to be the best they can be. Love is our secret sauce.”



2024 Online Sales Team of the Year


The 'Online Sales Team of the Year' award highlights True Homes’ innovative approach to digital marketing and customer service, significantly enhancing the home buying experience. "I took over the Internet Sales Team almost 4 years ago. I was very fortunate that my predecessor had laid a terrific foundation for the department during his tenure as their leader," says Adam Martin, Senior Manager of the Online Sales Team. "Over the last 4 years, we tested new scripts, systems, processes, compensation plans, and accountability tactics in the pursuit of efficiency gains. In 4 years, we have managed a roughly 35% increase in production with the same-sized team. I am so proud of everyone member of this Internet Sales Team. Their grit, determination, and resilience are second to no one. I look forward to continuing to push the upper bounds of what we are capable of as a unit."  The company's online sales team has been pivotal in collaborating cross-functionally and implementing cutting-edge digital strategies that cater to the evolving needs of modern homebuyers.
