My Page

I want to start out by thanking everyone that has followed me from my old site on Wordpress to this site. Now that I am re-launching and re-branding my site I felt it was appropriate to introduce myself to everyone again and also fill people in a little bit on what I am trying to accomplish on the new platform I am using and where I see this new site going.
I am a forward thinking professional that is a bit opinionated, and that means that I enjoy writing but not about myself! Still, it is important that you know a bit about me so here I go…
I believe that inside every person is an exciting and dynamic individual that is dying to get out. My mission as a leader is to help transform average people into sales professionals, and develop my organization’s leaders for tomorrow; and this sales and management blog / network is an extension of that mission.
I have had an eclectic but successful career that spans several industries including, but not limited to military service, multi-level marketing, financial services, and proprietary education. I have done B2C and B2B as both an inside and outside sales person. During my career I have worked with hundreds of sales people, some good and some bad. The important thing is I have learned many lessons from all of them and it is my mission to share them here on this site.
My education background includes a BA in Business and Economics from The Evergreen State College, a MBA from the University of Phoenix, and several corporate and military leadership programs. I am currently the Director of Recruitment for a major for profit college in Washington State where I manage the schools marketing and recruitment efforts.
I like to work hard and play harder. I have a wife Kristi, and a three year old daughter Sophia. Together we enjoy running, hiking, snowboarding, sea kayaking, 4-wheeling, camping, cycling, and karate. I also collect comic books and am a video game geek. I Love my Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii! On top of all that I am a voracious reader and I love to debate topics of all types.
Now that you know a bit about me, I hope you will enjoy this site. I will try to make it insightful, honest, and encouraging. I look forward to reading your comments, blogs, forum posts, and e-mail so that I can provide the best service and content possible. It is my goal over time to develop this site into a place where professionals can chat, swap ideas, and seek advice on a number of topics. I look forward to seeing you host your own blog, interacting with others, and starting groups so we can all network and grow together. I would appreciate your comments and suggestions to improve this site, so please feel free to e-mail me any time by leaving a comment on my profile or shooting me an e-mail at bmtrnavsky at msn.com

Thanks for visiting!
