About the Author

Bill Becker was just like everyone else growing up. He never dreamed of ever becoming a salesperson. 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.

The Job Nobody Dreams Of doesn’t teach you HOW to sell, rather WHY you should make sales your career choice. It’s a “how to” guide, offering real life advice on how to land your first sales job. In addition to Bill’s experience and tips, the book also features real life stories of sales people from a variety of industries. You’ll discover why they love sales and their advice on how to start your own sales career.

Sales Careers…Best option for Reentry individuals!

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!
