While at Marion, Rich learned the power of a sales driven culture from Marion’s owner, Ewing Kauffman. Mr. K, as he was known, was one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time and Rich’s early thoughts about selling were shaped by this special leader. Rich spent 12 years at what is known today as Sanofi-Aventis Pharmaceuticals.

After Marion, Rich worked for another emerging pharmaceutical company called Andrx Pharmaceuticals. During this time, Rich was able to gain high level business development and marketing experience as a leading member of the team launching an initial public offering for a new division of the company.

It was then that Rich decided to pursue his passion and become a resource for other sales driven organizations. Rich purchased the Sandler franchise and began operations in Raleigh North Carolina. Rich is a sought after speaker, a talented communicator, and an exceptional sales person. He believes strongly that top quality sales people are a rare commodity. He is committed to changing this by helping others see how to achieve true greatness in the professional field of selling.

Celebrating Brossman’s third social media book, and McGaha’s first book, their door prizes included a social media consultation by Martin Brossman & Associates and a Kindle ebook reader. Catering for the event was by Catering by Design.

Brossman’s first book on social media, Brossman’s Social Media and Online Resource Directory for Business, had a North Carolina focus. It was very well received and helped hundreds of North Carolina small and micro-business owners get started.

Brossman, who has been using and teaching LinkedIn since 2006, and is the leading trainer of social media and business success for small businesses in North Carolina, brings fascinating insight and perspectives to the book. ”My personal and professional mission is to help individuals live lives so meaningful it moves them and others to tears,” Brossman said. “Extending out from that, it is to help micro-business thrive for a grassroots rebuilding of the American economy. This book sets out to give a solid and motivating push for small businesses to use social media and online marketing to be successful in business.”

The audience for Social Media for Business is both the newcomer to social media and online marketing, as well as the experienced practitioner. “Each reader will take out different insights based on their experience and needs,” said McGaha.
