About Bill Rudow

I apply a passion for helping others, and innate work ethic, to build performance-based trust, and strong long-term relationships (working across the enterprise), building centers of influence, and consensus among CXO decision-makers, "the Business" and IT enablers seeking competitive advantage. I bring people together. I’m not perfect, but past customers, employers and peers would tell you I’m a guy who gets things done. I specialize in balancing the back-office operational and technical needs of my clients with the resource allocation and revenue generation needs of my employer. Selling technology to customers is simple when prospect and employer are completely aligned. No surprises. Understanding how to structure complex deals internally is my sport; working as part of the larger team focused on delivering value is my passion. As a result, I’ve documented a 90% at, and over, sales quota performance spanning 20+ year of complex sales among 200+ top-tier Property, Casualty, Life, Annuity and Health insurance companies, as well as, banking, securities, agency, broker, MGA and TPA distribution partners. Other customers have included data center, state government, trade associations, and eCommerce retail verticals. I run my business inside your infrastructure while managing expenses, margin and selling value within a repeatable process of pipeline stages. Once qualified, I seek ways to accelerate the sales cycle by responding quickly, overcoming objections, setting expectations, and fueling urgency for competitive advantage as a thought leader. Before selling technology, I sold insurance. Selling insurance limited me to helping one customer at a time. Selling solutions & IT services allows me to potentially help millions of customers simultaneously from the enterprise level. If my customers are successful, I’ll be successful. I do what technology can’t. I build trust.
