About Rick Wimberly

What a fortunate and eventful life I have! I've been able to lend my voice (often, literally) to fascinating work. As a sales and business advisor, I provide techniques that work to win contracts in complex and government environments. l help companies get better at identifying qualified buyers, build lasting relationships and accelerate their sales pipeline. I host the podcast "Myths of Selling to Government" and co-host the podcast, "5 1/2 Minutes to Sales Superiority"I'm an actor and voice artist-the older fellow down the street who's always good for guidance, help and a chuckle. Some call me Grandude (especially my five grandkids).www.voiceovergrandude.comAs Director of the TN Public Education Program, I help government and non-profit organizations with their statewide advertising.https://tabtn.org/member-services/public-education-program-pep/I'm honored to have been elected to serve almost 13 years on the board of a public school system outside Nashville that's among tops in the nation.***Folks say I'm a good listener and catch on quickly, which really comes in handy. You would think voiceover work would be more about talking than listening...but, it's really not. Same is true about public outreach, and selling. And, certainly true about education. Want to do it well? Then, listen well.Reach out to me anytime at rickwimberly1@gmail.com and let's do some good work together!
