Skill set or characteristics that lead him to getting his best results?
He primarily attributes his success to listening. “I like people and I listen. When I’m listening, I’m connecting the dots to answer the question, “how can I help this person?””.

Additionally, he says he trained with Walter Halley, a Texas-based marketing and sales guru, eventually training others in the sales techniques he learned and adapted to the accounting industry.

When asked how he continues to find new clients, he says it is primarily through his speaking presentations. He will often speak to a large audience, and through that experience, will naturally acquire new clients from a variety of industries.

Ed’s tips to the younger audience?

  • Carve out a niche and create products around that niche sooner than later
  • Whenever you create 1 product, create 5 products
  • 1 Write a book that teaches something
  • 2 Create the audio book
  • 3 Produce a presentation based on the book
  • 4 Develop an on-line program associated with the book
  • 5 Design a “train the trainer” program for readers to teach others what they learned from your book
  • When you go into a project, keep the 5 in mind as you research and create
  • As a result of the pandemic, Ed modified his delivery method from in-person, to web-based, and he is poised for success. He has created an on-line program based on his rainmaking strategies, that he intends to offer world-wide.
  • Collaborating with colleagues on how to best serve others, post-pandemic.
