Do it Best names new Regional Sales Manager

FORT WAYNE, IN—Do it Best Corp. has announced the promotion of Mike Melchi to Regional Sales Manager, effective immediately. Formerly a Territory Sales Manager, Melchi will now be responsible for leading a team of retail professionals who are dedicated to working with member-owners in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio to increase their sales and profits. 

Melchi got his start in the industry while working as a part-time sales associate at a lumber and building materials home center while attending Purdue University. He joined Do it Best in 2004 as an Associate Sales Consultant, earning promotions as a Member Services Supervisor and Territory Sales Manager. These experiences provided him with a deep understanding of the challenges store owners face as well as the opportunities they have to support their local communities.

“Mike loves working with our members,” said Nick Talarico, Vice President of Sales and Business Development. “The extensive experience he’s gained at Do it Best has allowed him to provide solutions to grow their businesses and offer guidance and resources to help them compete and win in their markets.” 

“I’m looking forward to enhancing communication and interaction throughout the region,” added Melchi, “so member-owners can share best practices, innovate and profitably grow their businesses.”
