About the Owner, Jerry Winkley

Growing businesses & teaching Continuing Education classes has been a passion for Jerry Winkley since 1988. Jerry began his original cleaning & disaster restoration business in 1988 by knocking on doors and calling on businesses. As Jerry developed and grew his team, he also began teaching Insurance Continuing Education classes to help address the educational requirements of the region’s Insurance Professionals.

In 2014, Jerry sold his business and expanded his Continuing Education classes. In 2016, Jerry, his wife Lisa, and daughter Wendy, started another business – Store In A Wink. Jerry became a General Contractor as their storage business expanded and Wendy kept “prodding” him to build more. Building Store In A Wink has been a fun family experience as Wendy uses her skills with customers and Lisa manages the bookkeeping (while still playing piano at church and school).

Over the decades, Jerry’s Continuing Education classes have logged over 25,000 attendees and invitations have taken him from one corner of the U.S. to the other, although he primarily focuses today on Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri.

Jerry holds an Associate of Arts degree from Hutchinson Community Junior College along with a Bachelor of Arts from Calvary Bible College. Jerry is a lifetime Kansan, is still a farm boy at heart, an experienced diesel mechanic, and a resident of Valley Center with the love of his life, Lisa. They have five children and four grandchildren. Jerry enjoys making his training practical and useful because he loves to help people excel and develop their God-given talents and abilities. Jerry firmly believes that success is never by accident – it is always by Design.

I would highly recommend Jerry being involved with Sales Training. He has a track record of successful teaching and development of CE Classes that I know myself, co-workers, insurance agents, insurance adjusters, and many others have learned and benefited from.

As a mentor, Jerry is always available to answer any and all questions that may arise with business decisions and marketing tactics. He is a very dependable responsible person and I feel that he would make a great addition within your department in the company.

Patty Nocktonick

On behalf of ServiceMaster Cleaning and Restoration Services by AAA in north east Kansas I would like to highly recommend Jerry Winkley as a continuing education instructor. We have worked with Jerry for many years and our agents, adjustors and staff truly appreciates the work he puts into his classes to make them interesting and educational. They can honestly say that when they leave one of our classes they take more valuable information with them than they do in any online class where they have to memorize a bunch of theories just to regurgitate it back onto a test and then forget it.

Jennie Bowen

Jerry has always displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility, and ambition. He is definitely a leader rather than a follower. In addition to his excellence scholastic accomplishments, his strong commitment to his faith, he has proven leadership in marketing and direct sales. His ongoing teaching and direction toward insurance agents, adjusters and sales coaching is top notch.

Tom Planmann

I always saw an uptick in business after Jerry taught CE at my facility. He is a genius at building relationships with insurance agents, diffusing difficult questions during class, and making them desirable to come back for more. Jerry always set me up as the local expert in my town when helping me.

Tim Howell

His willingness to help people is exceptional. Jerry Winkley is why our CE classes are so successful. Our agents and adjusters love his classes. Not only is he knowledgeable, prepared, and personable, but he strives to make the classes hands on and interesting.

Janice Trammell

I can highly recommend Jerry to other franchisees, and indeed have, for support in their business teaching agents and adjusters. He provides a high level of expertise and professionalism that helps us build relationships with these people, and creates a stronger bond that is useful when calling upon them for work. Our CE classes are always given fantastic reviews with Jerry as the instructor.
