Marin Bikes announced the promotion of Aaron Tieman to national sales manager and said it hired new staff to bolster its inside sales department.


Tieman takes his new position after working at Marin for four years as Inside Accounts Manager, specializing in new business acquisition with IBD’s. Tieman’s previous experience is split between working in the multi-sport retail channel and with finance in the mortgage industry. An avid cyclist, Tieman’s strong financial background delivers added-service to dealers by developing sales programs that focus on margin and delivery.


Former Sales Manager, Steve Glazer, gave the nod to send in Tieman upon his decision to step down from his role of VP of Sales and Marketing after 10 years with Marin to pursue opportunities outside of the bicycle industry.
 
Alexis Colin has been hired to join Marin’s Inside Sales Department. Alexis comes to Marin with a retail background in cycling and specialty sports. An accomplished road and mountain bike racer, Collin will service dealers in the Great Plains territory from North and South Dakota east through Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois in addition to southern states and Florida.

“I’m excited with the opportunity to work with our revamped inside staff to pursue new business partnerships and grow our existing relationships within the Marin Bikes family,” stated Tieman. “We’ve worked hard over the past few years to grow our sales and solidify our Sales Program with our current dealers. Dealers have been increasing their assortments and I want to bring this momentum to new retailers.”
