How do you introduce yourself to people you meet in business?
FTF, Video, Phone, email or my LinkedIn profile, which follows:

The passion that drives me is helping others pursue and achieve excellence. Whether it’s an organization or an individual I can help.

By definition I'm a HeadHunter, serial entrepreneur, author, publisher, big biller, speaker, recruiting coach, social media and recruiting industry consultant. I believe everybody has the ability to achieve success in life and my goal is to help others succeed. LinkedIn is one of the tools that has changed my business and my life.

I’ve published two books focused on recruiting excellence. LinkedIn For Recruiting about using the LinkedIn network and Big Biller, about million dollar recruiters. Both books are available at http://www.bigbiller.org.

I went from sales and marketing management with fortune 500 companies such as Revlon, Max Factor and Helene Curtis, to the computer and software industries where I launched a chain of computer stores and participated in taking a software company public. I joined Management Recruiters International (MRI) in 1986 and was their National Rookie of the year in 1987. For the last 20 years I have run my own retained executive search business and along the way created a software company focused on software for recruiting and staffing firms, and founded Recruiters OnLine Network (RON), a top 100 site. I sold my software and web businesses in 2002.

I have been a founder and board member of the Pinnacle Society recognizing achievement in the staffing industry, a national speaker for NAPS, served on the Board of Directors of The Texas Association Staffing Services (TAPS), was an officer with the Metroplex Association of Personnel Services (MAAPS) as well as a founder of the local Dallas Independent Recruiters Group (IRG) and a lifetime member of the USMC Force Recon Association (FRA)

Bill,

I apologize for the delay. I am on so many of these "networks" that I have trouble keeping up, and given all that you are into, I would think you do too, but obviously you are far more organized than I am.

Anyway, as always, if you feel I can contribute to one of your many ventures, just let me know and I'll be happy to try.

Hard to believe that we hit our 20th anniversary this year.
