    • Jan 2007 - Mar 2010

    I help people understand the concept of networking vs marketing and how BNI can link them up with other high performing people to help grow each other's business. Most people think networking is selling, but networking is very different that selling. Selling is like hunting, where networking is like farming. Learning to farm vs hunt will dramatically change your business. My role in BNI is to help people get the most return on their investment that they can get, through knowledge and implementing strategies that work.

  A&B Sound

  • Asst Manager

    • Aug 1999 - Jun 2004

    I was responsible for hiring, training and managing the salesforce for our location in Nanaimo BC. We had a staff of approximately 20 people at any given time. Some were very experience and just needed tweeking, some where brand new to sales and needed training from the ground up. My approach was to train people and find those that could move up to management roles and build the structure for a self supporting team of sales people that met and exceeded their goals on a consistant basis. I am proud to say that I met some of the best salespeople I have every worked with at A&B, I am still in contact with many of them and count them as personal friends today. It was a sad day when the A&B story came to an end, a great loss for all the client who loved them. Alas, music downloading eventually killed them off.
