The top scoring FiFi Awards winners of 2012!

Diana Lopez, Nordstrom, Topanga, California and Martina Jones, Nordstrom, Mall of America, Minneapolis worked hard to win this prestigious prize and were both honored by the crystal statuette in New York against thousands of sales associates that completed the Certificate Program for Fragrance Sale Specialists.

Twenty companies including Bath & Body Works, Parfums Christian Dior, Clarins, Dillards, Nordstrom, Sephora, Victoria's Secret Beauty and more, participated in the 2011/2012 program. These on-the-ball merchants know a thing or two about selling skills and wouldn't consider wasting their valuable resources on a program that doesn’t work.

"At Nordstrom we're passionate about helping each customer look and feel their best. Our customers are savvy and we need to make sure we're constantly educating ourselves to better meet their needs. Participating in The Fragrance Foundation's Certification Program helps us to achieve this goal by equipping our Fragrance Specialists with extensive knowledge about fragrances." Jennifer Kovacs, Merchandise Manager, Fragrance, NORDSTROM

Mary Ellen Lapsansky, Vice President, The Fragrance Foundation, has been instrumental in guiding the Certification Program to its highest level yet with the input and expertise of the Certification Advisory Board. "Without a doubt, none of this could have been achieved without the help and support of all these incredible fragrance authorities."

This proves that the two women certainly know how to ensure a perfect consumer experience while increasing market sales! Congratulations!
