Mark Volansky, director of Sales for Winkle Industries Inc., Alliance, Ohio, has announced the appointment of Tim Vargo as Winkle’s regional sales manager in the Midwest, a territory that includes Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and part of Nebraska.
“Tim is a self-taught, hands-on kind of guy who brings 18 years of experience to his new position,” says Volansky. “Winkle’s broad product line and services are a perfect fit for his past customers, and he can now offer them ‘one stop shop’ convenience.”
“In the past, I sometimes had to step over opportunities and walk away from business to get to my product,” says Vargo. “As a Winkle representative, I can provide my customers with everything to meet their needs – a full range of industry-leading end-to-end products, installation and service, plus engineering.”
Vargo says that the company has the right staff in place, including customer service people, engineers and buyers, which enables him to focus on onsite sales and service. “Customers purchase on trust, and you must earn their confidence with your knowledge,” he says. “Knowing your product and markets gets both of your feet in the door. After that, it’s all about building.”
