Close Every Sales Call

About the Author Edward C Rich

     Born and raised in the Akron, Ohio I spent my early years with Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.  After college, they took a chance on me and moved me to St Louis, Mo. to represent them selling plastics packaging to the supermarket industry and covering Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, as well as parts of Iowa and Illinois.

     After moving to Tulsa Oklahoma I joined Mobil Chemical Company, a division of Mobil Oil selling Industrial Plastics in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and parts of Missouri, Texas and Kansas.  I was promoted and moved to Detroit where my team introduced and sold plastic handle bags to the supermarket industry.  While in Detroit I covered Michigan and Ohio.

     Moving back to Akron, I joined MCI Telecommunications as Branch Manager of the northern tier of Ohio where I managed a large team of salespeople, their supervisors and a customer service group selling long distance to companies spending large amounts each month.  I lead them from last place to first place in the country in less than 3 years.

     I moved from telecommunications over to courier service and air freight.  After my time with TNT Express International as Branch Manager in Cleveland, I was recruited to join Roadway Global Air as Branch Manager and built a completely new organization in Cleveland where we quickly became one of the top air freight branches in the new company.

      After RGA, I joined Crain Communications in Detroit and sold and managed advertising for 26 years eventually becoming Director of Sales traveling the world as my team and I sold our international trade shows.

      The one true constant in my life has been Sales and my ability to teach and manage Sales Skills.
