99 Things You Wish You Knew Before™ Going Into Sales
Victor Antonio is proof that the American dream of success
is alive and well. A poor upbringing from one of the roughest
areas of Chicago didn't stop Victor from earning a B.S. Electrical
Engineering, an MBA and building a 20 year career as a top sales
executive and becoming CEO of a multimillion dollar high-tech
company.
Prior to being CEO he was President of Global Sales and Marketing
for a $420M company. He was tasked with building a global sales
force, establishing contract agreements, developing financial
pricing models and in charge of developing the corporate brand
and marketing the company's services for worldwide acceptance.
Before that he was Vice President of International Sales in a
Fortune 500 $3B corporation at the time. Within a two and half
year time period he grew their business from $14M to $98M in annual
revenue. During that time period his sales totals were $162M and
was selected from over 500 sales managers to join the President's
Advisory Council for excellence in sales and management.
This is a guy who loves to sell and teach others how to do it!
In his own words, "It wasn't until I got into sales that
I fully realized the opportunities selling afforded a person!
If you like independence, aren't afraid of personal accountability
and want to control your earning potential, then sales is for
you! All others need not apply!"
His success in sales and management also helped him establish
channels internationally. He has conducted business in Europe,
Asia, Latin America, The Caribbean, South Africa and The Middle
East.
Victor has shared the big stage with some of the top business
speakers in the nation including: Rudy Giuliani, Zig Ziglar, Dr.
Robert Schuller, Paul Town (Author of Rule #1), Paul Ortellini
(CEO of Intel), John May (CEO of FedEx Kinkos) and many other
top business speakers. He was also chosen by Time as one of the Top 25 Most Influential Hispanic Americans. http://www.victorantonio.com/
