Business partners Fernando Barron and Rober Aphang started their WSI franchise operation back in 2005. Coming from the energy industry, they both wanted to start a business related to technology, with sizable growth potential in their country, Peru. They decided to go ahead with the WSI opportunity and never looked back. Having done their market entry in 2005 has allowed them to build a position today with a proven track record of success stories with local companies, in a moment where more and more local companies need the kind of services they provide (Peru is one of fastest growing countries in Latin America). Last year they almost tripled the sales amount and number of customers compared to the first year, and this year they are in pace to duplicate the sales figure from last year. Rober Aphang recalls an opportunity where he was discussing with one big prospect about their organization, and when they asked him how they promoted their WSI business, how big their sales force was, he answered: “well, we have almost fifty sales people”. Knowing that the prospect was surprised by this, he completed: “our customers are our sales persons, and of top of promoting our business, they pay us”.
Before working with WSI, Rober Aphang worked more than ten years in different companies of the Shell Group in France, the Caribbean and Peru. Regarded as an expert in project management, business and financial planning as well as operations management, he is an Industrial Engineer from the Universidad Catolica del Peru (Lima, Peru) and has a Master’s degree in Engineering and Technology Management from the University of Tulsa (Oklahoma, USA).
Now Rober Aphang devotes his experience and commitment to their clients’ success, including companies in a wide variety of industries such as restaurants, corporate security, travel agencies, customs agencies, car dealers, jewelry, universities, apparel, market research, etc.
As an Internet Marketing expert, Rober has given several conferences for local universities and network groups, has submitted articles to local magazines, and has been interviewed in radio and television programs.
See Rober Aphang interview in Rumbo Economico, business program aired in a well known cable tv channel in Peru.
One last recognition that shows Rober’s commitment not only with local business but also with the welfare of society was his recent designation as member of the Directors Board of Aldeas Infantiles SOS, an important non profit organization, who gives poor orphan childen a true home.
