IRG Creates a New Entity to Better Serve the Aviation Industry

Ken Cage, President of Operations for International Recovery Group, announces the creation of a new corporation to better serve the aviation community.  The company, Aviation Sales & Consulting Group, Inc. will focus on sales and marketing opportunities globally that require our type of niche services and strategy.
 
IRG recognizes our special service need in the aviation marketplace and has consistently been able to sell distressed aircraft for well above asking prices throughout our history.  IRG attributes this success to three factors. First is the notoriety the company has received from Cage’s role in the hit television show “Airplane Repo” on Discovery channel.  Secondly, being the first company to hold the national aircraft and vessel contracts with the federal government simultaneously has increased IRG’s brand awareness in this marketplace. Lastly, but most important, IRG implements a tested and successful marketing strategy to sell these assets in a timely manner.   
 
“This new idea came to us when I posted recent sales results on social media” said Cage.  “Retail brokers commented that our results were too good to duplicate.  We continued to track our results and saw that we were consistently achieving results other brokers said we could not.  Based on our results, we felt a need to expand our services.”
 
Cage says it isn’t just the sales prices that industry people are impressed with.  It is the incredible turnaround time on the sales that has opened eyes.  “Our last 12 sales, for example, have achieved 137% of the asking price on average.  More importantly, every sale was completed in 20 days or less,” says Cage.  “No other company can compete with such quick results. These quick and effective results also save the aircraft owner the unwanted expenses associated with properly maintaining an aircraft.”
 
ASCG, Inc. will implement a more aggressive sales process than the typically passive broker approach.  “Our aggressive approach comes from knowing our vast network and we will use our global recognition in aviation brokerage to gain quick results. People in every country know IRG and know Ken Cage,” says Bob Weeks, President of Sales for ASCG, Inc. 
 
Weeks says ASCG has begun working with several clients on their aircraft portfolio. “These clients recognize a need to improve their aviation sales performance and they are excited to get started with our strategy,” said Weeks.  
 
“With the formation of Aviation Sales and Consulting Group Inc., IRG will tackle the perception that comes with a ‘repo company’ selling primarily bank owned or distressed aviation assets. By creating this new entity to primarily sell luxury assets using our tested and proven process, I am confident that we will quickly shed this negative perception.” 
 
ASCG, Inc also announced a partnership with Airborne Services, a Dallas, TX based company that provides aviation services to companies all over the globe.  Airborne has developed a large clientele in Latin America and has targeted that area as an area of need for ASCG’s services.  “I have known about IRG for some time from Discovery Channel’s, Airplane Repo. I immediately thought they would be a good partner for Airborne,” said Airborne Business Development Director Marcus McCarty.  “They are outstanding at selling aircraft, in particular, and that is the one service we wanted to offer to our clients. This is a way for Airborne to continue offering the best service possible to our clients. Ken and Bob’s willingness to make the adjustment that our clients want shows why IRG is the trusted name in specialty repossessions.”
