A poor upbringing in one of the roughest areas of Chicago didn't stop Victor from earning a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, an MBA, and building a 20-year career as a top sales executive and CEO of a multimillion-dollar high-tech company. Prior to being CEO, he was President of Global Sales and Marketing for a $420M company.
As Vice President of International Sales in a Fortune 500 $3B corporation at the time, he was selected from over 500 sales managers to join the President’s Advisory Council for excellence in sales and management.
Victor Antonio is one of the most dynamic speakers on the subject of sales influence and persuasion. He is the author of 14 books on sales and motivation. His most recent book "Mastering the Upsell", focuses on how you can increase your revenues by selling more to prospects or existing clients. He is also the founder of the SalesVelocityAcademy.com, an online sales training platform with over 60 courses.
