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

☂ Beverage Consulting
☂ Beverage Mentoring

I started my entrepreneurial journey selling and developing products simultaneously. Fortunately, I had a great mentor and partner, Marshall (RIP), who partnered with me to launch a consumer packaged goods company from San Diego. Soon, we sold nationally.

I Created over 1,000 impulse buy consumer packaged goods, or CPG, to sell into convenience stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, and other retailers, including:
•	7-Eleven
•	Circle K
•	Valero
•	Wal-Mart
•	Target
•	Walgreens
•	Krogger
•	Independents
•	Etc.

Everything I learned about wholesale distribution, combined with procedures from my former career as a software company executive, allowed me to scale this business to 17,000 retailers, using my own trucks and training wholesale distributors to do what I was doing. 

Falling in love with beverages was easy. I started as a beverage distributor using the infrastructure I had then, and soon, I was outselling the largest beverage distributors in San Diego. This is how I became a beverage consultant. Brands started hiring me to train their staff and then their distributors on how to sell beverages.

Beverage Consulting and Mentoring
I now work with a few founders and companies as their mentor, co-founder, or Chief Marketing Officer.

GKIC Insider's Circle

The CMO to the marketing gurus.  Most of the famous American marketers came from GKIC. This is why I was so excited to be the CMO to the marketers.  

As CMO I spearheaded all the marketing and branding of the company, products, and services, created the business model, marketing plan and trained staff on marketing best practices. I also did the same for members and their companies in masterminds, coaching groups, as well as keynote speaking on live events.

The company trains executives and business owners in marketing and business modeling. My job was CEO and Executive Member, a team of four the ran the company. Here I created the marketing plan, financial model, and introduced new coaching programs.

Yes, I was the marketer to the marketers... primarily establishing best practices that allow exponential growth. Many members already have entrepreneurial success, but lack the structure to grow, to hire talent, and to stop being the most intelligent person on their conference room table.  

As CMO I had all the usual duties, expectations and responsibilities. I was also part of the executive team, a team of four that ran the company.

Besides developing and executing campaigns for the company, my role was also as a trainer and speaker to the ten thousand members of the community. This was done at live expos, mastermind and coaching groups.

GKIC is the largest, oldest, and most prestigious business training community. Using direct response marketing to get more leads and better customers, the kind that will change your business forever. 

How does it work?
GKIC helps entrepreneurs break into the kind of financial security and independence that many dream of, but few truly achieve. GKIC offers an array of direct response marketing systems in the form of coaching, books, products, services, conferences and more.

GKIC Mexico

Ayudando a los negociantes de habla hispana a crecer sus negocios.

Presidente, conferencista y coach de negocios y mercadotecnia

As co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of GKIC Mexico, I developed and delivered marketing material to the members. Members are executives and entrepreneurs looking to use marketing best practices to scale their business.

As CMO I also traveled delivering direct marketing, social media, and branding keynotes as well as training to small, medium, and large audiences of members.

As Chief Marketing Officer I had to develop not only the best practices and training materials, but also implement the same structure internally, changing the entire customer experience and the way members interact with the company.

Co-Fundador and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)

CMO and President at GKIC Mexico. Acting as San Diego CMO, Los Angeles CMO, and for the national Spanish people community.  

This was a unique type of company. I got to get on the stage to change people's life's with business strategies. As CMO and President, I was responsible for all sales, marketing, event planning, and development of curricula for our training courses and events.

GKIC's mission is to empower entrepreneurs to grow their business using direct response and best practices to go after perfect consumers for their products and services. It's a mathematical approach to business, a repeatable set of strategies that can be transferred to management.
