His early years centered on his love of animals and music and becoming either a veterinarian or radio disc jockey. Instead Bill joined his hometown radio station to sell radio ads. Later on he took his sales skills and moved into the IT industry.

After working with dozens of individuals who were unemployed after 9/11 due to one of the worst economies in decades, it dawned on Bill that SALES was the one career field that offers great employment opportunities regardless of someone’s past experience.

One of the reasons I chose to evangelize about sales careers when I retired is the wonderful life a career in sales gave me. When I was at the lowest point of my life, a new sales job allowed me to rebuild my life, and go on to help others.  A job in sales is the one job that you can land, even if a company isn’t hiring!
