The role of ringman is vital to the auction sales process, and fleet services provider ARI has publicly recognized two such employees with its Ringman of Distinction Award.

The award from ARI, which recognizes the outstanding contributions of ringmen at various vehicle auctions, was recently presented live in the auction lanes to Art Mecias of ADESA Los Angeles  and Zach Massey of ABC Birmingham by ARI remarketers.

“The ringman is integral to the sales process and is invaluable in netting the highest possible returns for our clients,” said Bob Graham, ARI vice president of vehicle remarketing.

“Every week, we see first-hand how special Art and Zach are,” he said. “They are both clearly passionate and persistent and have made a tremendous impact for our clients.”

ARI partners with several auction outlets throughout North America to maximize potential sales opportunities for clients’ vehicles.

While auctioneers control the sale of a vehicle, ringmen support them by spotting and identifying bids, signaling them to the auctioneer and helping to put sales together.
