Billy Cox teaches techniques proven over two decades of experience in sales, management, and leadership, and consulting. He has truly lived the American dream. Starting at age 17 as a part-time salesperson in a direct sales company, he worked his way to the top of every sales and management level available. By age 30, he had earned his first million dollars. Two years later, he became president of an international sales and marketing company taking on leadership of a nationwide team with over 500 sales associates. It was an enormous challenge, as sales were in a slump, down almost 50 percent. In less than three years, he and his team had turned the company around, increasing sales to record-breaking levels.
