LAS VEGAS, NV — September 24, 2026 —RMX Network today announced that Kate Dunn, President and Founder of Evolve Sales Group, has been named the 2026 RMX Network Vendor of the Year. The award, chosen by popular vote from more than 60 RMX partner companies, recognizes the vendor whose innovation and dedication have made the most meaningful impact on the network. This is Kate's third time winning. Read that again.
In a community where showing up matters, Kate Dunn doesn't just show up, she transforms. Since first partnering with the RMX Network, Kate has embedded herself in the real challenges that wide-format print providers face: how to hire salespeople who actually sell, how to build a team that doesn't rely on the owner for every deal, how to grow revenue without losing the culture that made the company worth growing. She brings solutions, not slides. Implementation, not inspiration porn.
Her credentials are formidable. Fifteen years at Xerox, including Rookie of the Year honors and seven President's Club awards. A Vice President of Sales role where she took a personalized printing division from zero to more than $2 million in revenue in just two years. Seven years leading sales training at Keypoint Intelligence–InfoTrends, where she trained and coached more than 60 sales teams for OEMs and print service providers. A cum laude degree from Villanova. Over 30 years in B2B sales and not even one spent coasting.
“I’m incredibly honored to be named RMX Vendor of the Year, especially because the recognition comes from the partners themselves. I’ve never really felt like a vendor to RMX. I feel more like an extension of the leadership teams I work with — invested in their challenges, their people, and the businesses they’re trying to build. I’m very grateful to be part of a community committed to learning, solving some of the age-old problems of this industry, helping one another and, ultimately, growing profitable revenue.”
— Kate Dunn, President & Founder, Evolve Sales Group
That philosophy, personal, specific, accountable, is exactly why RMX Partners keep voting for her. Kate doesn't offer a generic playbook, she sits in the room with print companies, learns their markets, understands their teams, and builds a path that fits the real business - not some theoretical version of it. Whether she's facilitating peer groups, running sales coaching sessions, or stepping in as a fractional sales manager, the result is the same: measurable change.
The RMX Network Vendor of the Year Award is not selected by a committee. It is not handed out for sponsorship or longevity. It is voted on by the people who work with these vendors every day - the owners and operators building their businesses inside the network. The fact that Kate Dunn has now won that vote three times, across different years, different markets, and a rapidly evolving industry, speaks to something no award can fully capture: she has earned the trust of this community, over and over again.
"Kate doesn't just teach sales — she lives it. Every technique she brings to our partners has been field-tested by someone who has sat across the table from a buyer. That authenticity is why our community keeps coming back to her, and why this honor belongs to her again in 2026."
— Mike Hobgood RMX Network President
