ABOUT US
OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
A Brief History
We have been training medium and large business sales teams for over 40 years. Over time, with the demand for more prospect training, TK Enterprises increased its attention to focus more on cold call training. Slowly small businesses came onboard and were requesting this training as well when they realized that cold calling was the best way to grow sales.
Our Cold Calling and Appointment Setting Division has grown larger and spans many industries from IT to Financial, Consulting to Tech and beyond.
In 2014, we launched our Telephone Event Marketing Division, with a focus on telephone calls from high end retailers to their existing consumers. Driving traffic to in store events for jewelry stores, high end apparel, furniture and other retailers helps drive sales. We are co-op eligible for many high end jewelry brands such as LeVian and EFFY.
With our calling facility across from Detroit MI, we are able to accommodate calling campaigns across all time zones.
Meet The Team
Heidi Kaufmann
Heidi joined the company in 2013 after several years of running a successful transportation company and as an Inside Sales Representative for a North American staffing agency. Her previous work with BMO Nesbitt Burns and their US counterpart, Harris Bank, gave her a solid understanding of cross-border relationships and corporate processes. Her work for them focused on contingency and system implementation. In addition, she has over 27 years of customer service behind her. Her relationships with our clients and her attention to detail made her the obvious choice as CEO when her father retired.Tom Kaufmann
