We enjoyed working with Tim. He was outstanding in handling our account. He was always punctual, had great ideas, and was responsive to questions. You will find him a great help in your marketing endeavors. Best of luck to you Tim. We miss you.

Tim Kolling had been our radio rep for four stations in Salina, Kansas for several years.  I can honestly say he is one of the best reps I have ever worked with!  I have been negotiating spot radio and television contracts for more than 15 years and he is a superb rep.  What makes Tim different?  The phrase, “I am a partner with your business,” is mere lip service from most sales people.  Tim worked hard to know my client’s business; regularly visiting the store, keeping me apprised of market conditions/changes, making sure we were a “first call” for interesting and inventive station promotions, and finally, I have lived/worked in several cities since starting my relationship with Tim and he was VERY conscientious about staying in close contact with me – not always the easiest of jobs.  Anyone getting Tim for an AE is really fortunate – he is a real advocate for his accounts.

In a fast-paced business environment, I have learned that it is very important to be able to depend on and trust business associates.  Our business has known Tim for just over four years.  We have always bragged to other business owners about Tim’s ability and skill handling our advertising.  I have owned businesses in three different markets, and have yet to find someone that operates as effectively under his or her own volition as Tim.  Every time Tim came to our business we felt as if we were his only clients.  He always came prepared with new ideas and promotions to increase our sales.  As franchisees of a national chain, we were able to extend Tim’s ideas and creativity to benefit hundreds of other business owners.  We have always appreciated Tim’s professionalism and will continue to brag to other business owners about how good this guy is no matter what he does.

Tim and his people were creative in coming up with promos, he made sure his “i’s” were dotted and his “t”s were crossed, and he was always diligent with the details (which I really appreciated, as I worked for an event committee and I wanted to be able to explain why I’d purchased advertising to them.) This event no longer takes place, but I miss working with Tim. He made it easy and pleasant and I appreciated that!

Nobody knows the radio advertising climate of Topeka and Shawnee country quite like Tim. Tim provides a level of expertise, experience, and creativity that is rarely found. He is able to create incredible solutions that include multilayer interactive marketing opportunities, providing added value through his own servicing of clients. Working with him is awesome because of his emphasis to educate clients about getting the most out of their advertising dollar. His knowledge of publics and markets ensure that he is putting your message in front of the right people, at the right time, creating win-win situations that make profitable experiences for both clients and your company.

I have worked with Tim on projects through WIBW radio and I have to say that every time has been a pleasure. Tim is a great mind when it comes to advertising and I would recommend him to anyone that is interested in marketing.

Tim is not in his chosen business for a quick buck. He, refreshingly, understands that if he helps businesses succeed in a small way, that their success will drive his. He is willing to start small and help a business grow into a good client for his stations. So many advertising people push to sell what will make them the most money now - even if they know it isn’t the most effective thing for the client and may bury them financially. Bad advertising and poorly conceived plans are simply extra bills to the advertiser. Advertising that is well planned and properly executed is an investment that pays back many times over and Tim understands this. I think that makes him very trustworthy in a field often occupied by hucksters and con men. Tim - you are no Herb Tarlek!! And I mean that sincerely. Keep up the good work!

There isn’t enough room to list all of the benefits that come from working with a professional like Tim. If every manager had an employee like him at their side, their jobs would be much easier. I have total confidence that Tim absolutely knows what he’s talking about. With all the other work-related responsibilities I have, it’s nice to know I can depend on Tim to always provide me with the best ads possible with little effort on my part. He never fails to promote McElroy’s with the best advertising available. He knows his job like the back of his hand and he’s one of the, if not THE, best in his field.

He is creative, dependable, thorough and so much fun to work with!  He keeps us on track with our monthly specials to assure that our ads are up to date and pertinent for the listeners.  We love working with Tim and thanks to him and WIBW, we receive a lot of exposure and new patients!
