What does great hospitality look like? For guests, it may be a clean room, a stocked breakfast area, fresh linens or a well-run front desk. For AVM Enterprises, it starts earlier—with the sales, service and follow-through that help hospitality businesses stay ready to deliver.
The John “Art” Phillips Sales Institute at the Gary W. Rollins College of Business is proud to welcome Chattanooga-based AVM Enterprises Inc. as its newest Silver Level Corporate Partner.
Founded in 1982, AVM is a wholesale distributor specializing in hospitality and janitorial supplies. From its base in the Chattanooga area, the company serves customers across regional, national and international markets and helps hotels and other organizations stay stocked, efficient and guest-ready.
Having access to that customer-centered approach to sales is invaluable. AVM gives our students a window into sales work that is fast-moving, customer-centered and built on follow-through. This partnership gives our students opportunities to connect with AVM professionals, explore careers in distribution sales and see how hospitality accounts are won, served and grown.
“This is such a unique opportunity to influence how sales professionals are prepared before they enter the workforce,” said Nisha Daniel of AVM Enterprises. “We’re excited to work closely with the team and students to build and launch the next generation of sales professionals.”
That kind of access is central to the John “Art” Phillips Sales Institute experience. Students build their skills through hands-on training, corporate engagement and real-world learning designed to connect, train and launch future sales leaders.
Partnerships like this show what sales education can look like when classroom learning is connected directly to industry. They give students clearer pathways into the profession while strengthening the connection between emerging talent and companies that value service, relationships and growth.
Please join us in welcoming Nisha Daniel, Biju Daniel, Bob Dollinger and the entire AVM team to the John “Art” Phillips Sales Institute community.
