Vicki Wiederkehr of Southern Indiana began Cardinal Selling Services, LLC in 2006 with advertising, marketing and selling classic cars for local clients. She knew that local people had great classic cars, and the web would allow many of those cars to sell best. She develop a strategy to list those vehicles that would allow for a mix of information to ensure confidence for buyers who would be coming in from a distance, or having the vehicle shipped. Buyer confidence she soon realized was the key to selling big ticket items using e-commerce methods.
Over time, many other items were sold in the automotive sector such as RV’s, boats and motorcycles. As the business continued to evolve, marketing and selling big ticket items such as equipment was added as income streams. The same principals of honesty in vehicle transactions which worked so well with all valuable items. The Cardinal brand has become a signature stamp of online integrity, as much as a stamp for our clients of financial returns. It’s a fine balance that Cardinal Selling Services has perfected, best return for clients along with satisfied buyers across the globe.
10 years later, the business has evolved into a complete service company working with small businesses to Fortune 500s. Residential assets, if valuable are still sold through their processes.
Her education and past experiences paved the path for the Cardinal success she has found. Ms. Wiederkehr attended a private college in Owensboro, KY where a business administration degree was obtained in 1994. Many courses from Harvard School of Business were channeled into her curriculum as a test for the new Master’s program at Brescia College.
Her corporate career was in the accounting/credit/finance area as well as Data Processing. She purchased her first retail store in 2000 and began teaching entrepreneurship and Business Law courses at a local community college while running her small business.
After leaving the retail business behind, Ms. Wiederkehr became an author educating students about personal finance, time management, goal setting and income creation through small business start-up.
