Internet Program Manager for Worldwide Training

As a business growth strategist, author, and former Apple exec, I facilitate a 90 day process that transforms overwhelmed managers into admired leaders who are eager to grow the business and develop their team/dept/division.

What’s Going On
😖  Have you noticed that the regular tempo of productivity you rely on has taken unexpected dips and dives?

😖  Are you under pressure to produce growth while you’re barely getting by each week, performing heroic saves, yet unable to get to the longer-range planning & strategic steps?

😖  Are you surprised at all that your direct reports have not stepped up to claim more responsibility? Are you wondering who is interviewing for other opportunities?

💥  Senior managers – especially in the high tech, privately held firms that I work with –  want to see improvements in the business operations, processes, and relationships improve, not just suffer and endure.

💥  Business leaders are struggling to right the ship. Without an approach that addresses the underlying causes, behavior change initiatives fail more than 70%. 

💥  Half-hearted efforts produce not just poor results, but perhaps backlash from your people. It doesn’t have to be that way. 


When We Work Together
📈   You get the levels of engagement that are good for morale and measurable via market growth, reduced costs, improved profit margins, and lower turnover.

💪 You can see results for yourself in 2-weeks. 

👊  Stop settling for results that are below what you know your people are capable of producing.

👊  Escape the trap of solving your manager's problems and give them the support to become more effective.

What Other Senior Leaders Say
💬  "I highly recommend Bill for any company who is looking for a talented person to help them with things such as marketing strategies, product positioning, company presentations, and overall good judgment regarding personnel and the organization.”
Bret Dunlap, CEO/President • Advanced Mobile Solutions

💬   “Whenever I was stuck, I knew Bill would be able to listen, ask a few questions, and come up with insights that really made a difference, whether it was with a strategy decision, go-to-market opportunity, or de-risking a new venture. Bill is an invaluable asset to any technology leader.”
Nitin Khanna, CEO • Archer Insights

I show entrepreneurs and small business owners how to sell with confidence, and get hired.

Do you struggle to keep your calendar full of amazing, paying clients?

In my 25 years as a psychologist and  entrepreneur, I've figured out how to attract and serve a full roster of ideal clients. What it takes is simple: a good niche, knowing how to prospect, and creating systems for continued success. But it isn't easily mastered alone.

Even the most talented, service-minded people stumble on sales calls, either because they are unsure of how to sell effetively or by accepting "no" too quickly. I can teach you how to overcome these obstacles to make more money with confidence and ease with my AlikeAbility(TM) System. You learn how to understand and communicate like your buyers. As a result, you become a magent for your dream clients, gain confidence in selling, and become fully booked.

WiseHer Sales Expert

Wellness Wiz

Independent sales representative for water ionizer systems. Using the principles offered through Rapport Builderz I quadrupled sales in 90 days.

Owner

I served as Education Coordinator and I was on the Membership Committee. This group serves as the "HR" function for the organization. We screen applicants, evaluate members, uphold standards, and stimulate growth within the chapter. I'm using my communication skills and knowledge of human behavior to guide these activities.

Leadership Team

Business Network International

I identify and support business owners who are seeking to form a new chapter of BNI, Business Network International. If you see the value of growing your business through word-of-mouth referrals from other like-minded business owners, contact me to get started.

Launch Director

Global B.A.N.K. Academy

Sales Trainer and Coach with the B.A.N.K. Personality Sales Training System. Organized the first East Coast B.A.N.K. Code Breaker Summit. Featured Speaker at the B.A.N.K. Summit. Main Presenter at the Small Business Expo, 2013. Coach at the B.A.N.K. Certification Training, 2013.

International B.A.N.K.er

Springfield College

In a nontraditional, accelerated program for working adults, I designed and delivered courses for both undergraduate and master level students on Entrepreneurial Practice, Leadership, Organizational Development, Public Speaking, and Research Methods. Because the students took classes for 8 hours continously,  I incorporated interactive material to entertain and stimulate their learning. As a Master Teacher with this program,  I also taught abroad in the Masters track in Sweden modifying the curriculum for English as a second language adult students.

Associate Professor

Mount Auburn Hospital

As the only marketing agent, I tripled revenues and expanded the EAP so that it became a full service occupational health program. As Director I spoke to thousands of employees and hundreds of managers and executives on various topics concerned with workplace productivity through effective communication skills. I worked with manufacturing companies, bio-technology, high technology, and health care and human service organizations.

Director, Employee Assistance Program

Salem State University

Chaired Department for 2 years and taught courses in research, substance abuse, family violence, and community organization in an accredited Social Work Program. Was instrumental in developing masters program.

I never set out to be a sales advisor. In fact, I actively avoided sales—pursuing human services because I loved helping people communicate effectively. But after earning a doctorate and how to implement mental health programs in the workplace, I quickly learned something no one had taught me:

👉 I couldn’t deliver those services until I sold them.

That moment changed everything.

I began my journey not just to understand sales but to redefine it—on my own terms. 

I studied what made people say yes, discovered the Platinum Rule (treat others how they want to be treated), and developed the AlikeAbility™ System. This proven process helps values-driven solopreneurs sell ethically, confidently, and effectively.

I partner with brilliant, mission-driven professionals who cringe at traditional sales approaches. Together, we transform uncomfortable sales conversations into authentic connections without rigid formulas or manipulation—using approaches that reflect your authentic self.

✔️ You gain clarity on your ideal client
✔️ You learn to facilitate authentic sales conversations
✔️ You convert 50% (or more!) of your prospects
✔️ Best of all, you discover genuine assurance, clarity, and self-trust in your approach.

My clients call me The Sales Whisperer™ because I help them sell with integrity, intuition, and connection. 

When not writing and presenting, I'm a student of spirituality and volunteer with the Imerman Angels (people diagnosed with cancer) and The Farm Dog Rescue.

✨ If you're ready to align your sales with your values—and grow your business with ease—let’s connect.
