Before starting his own firm, Eric spent 20 years in leadership positions with technology companies, including a 12 year run as President of an educational software company in Philadelphia. Eric has many years of direct sales experience and has managed both in-house and independent distributor sales organizations. He is anxious to participate in what will surely be a fun, light-hearted hour of radio.

This episode of the show airs live on Thursday, April 16 at 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. A recorded podcast is available about an hour after the show concludes.
“Our audience of senior sales professionals can always benefit from a solid sense of humor,” said Cohen. “Sharing their funny or bizarre sales experiences with the rest of the audience can help lighten people’s sales activities during a very difficult economic period.”

“As an effective sales leader and team coach, Todd has already recognized how podcasts would extend the reach of his training and management expertise to a global audience of sales practitioners with portability and convenience,” said Steve Lubetkin, managing partner of Professional Podcasts. “Todd is now taking his expertise into the next channel of social media, Internet talk radio, to broaden the exchange of information with his colleagues in a real-time live Internet conversation.”
