Richard Abraham is a speaker, writer and consultant widely sought after by many Fortune 500 companies. When not consulting or writing his syndicated column, Mr. Abraham conducts workshops and seminars and speaks on the topics of relationship selling and maximizing the sales encounter. Mr. Abraham supplements these speaking engagements with his publications, including the highly acclaimed book, "Mr. Shmooze: The Art and Science of Selling Through Relationships". In it, Mr. Abraham presents a composite character of the most successful and gregarious salespeople in America. The essence of the book, like the essence of Mr. Abraham himself, is a quality message presented in a fun and familiar style.
Mr. Abraham brings tremendous credentials and experience to his work. Before dedicating his time to speaking and publishing, he served as CEO of Prime Group Realty Services, was president and co-founder of The John Buck Management Group, as well as president of CB Commercial/Koll Management Services - where he had oversight responsibility for a 300 million-square-foot portfolio of office, retail and industrial properties throughout the United States. Mr. Abraham now delivers the combination of sensible street smarts and serious strategies he employed at these firms in the seminars and speeches he gives regularly -while always conveying his message in an enjoyable, lighthearted way.
"Selling is like breathing," he believes. "When done well, it is easy and natural, and no one even notices it is happening."
Mr. Abraham engages his audiences in print and in person with the same blend of energy and ease. The result is a winning formula for success - entertaining, motivational and highly informative!
The life of our business depends on selecting and deploying top performing salespeople. The DriveTest is the most powerful and accurate tool I have found in my twenty-five years of recruiting people in the financial services/insurance business. It separates the fire-eaters from the pretenders and identifies those with what I call the “burn in the belly.” I will never hire a salesperson again unless he or she passes the DriveTest.
