billy goldberg.
Often referred to as "the Big Ten guy in an Ivy League room," Billy Goldberg has built a successful career by listening to client needs. Recently while leading a team at The Buckeye Group, inc. (www.thebuckeyegroup.com) he generated a significant amount of new revenue for the Miss America Organization. More recently he brought in 4 nationally and internationally recognized clients to the Buckeye Group.
While working as an agent at William Morris, he honed his talent for negotiating complex deals and selling concepts utilizing a conversational approach based on customer need, not overselling. His innate ability to connect with people and focus on finding the perfect solution also served him as a Vice President at Bank of America. By collaborating with the client, understanding their needs and customizing the perfect package for them Billy was in the top 10% of his team after less than one year, managed hundreds of millions of dollars in assets and became a member of the President’s Club. He used this same common-sense approach at Tennis Channel where he helped bring in clients such as Land Rover, Lexus, Acura, Nike, Kia and Paramount Pictures, which in 2007 represented 40% of the channel’s sales revenue. As the West Coast Manager of HighSchoolSports.net, he provided clients such as Nike and Universal Pictures with original, custom made ideas and successfully grew their business with the site and continued to do so at a national level upon Gannett’s purchase of the company.
A compelling speaker, Billy is a founding board member and lead fundraiser of Melissa’s House, a home for adults living with mental illness. (www.melissashouse.org) In 2008 he completed the AIDS/Lifecycle a 545 mile charity bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. (www.aidslifecycle.org)
Billy’s extensive experiences have combined to prime him for where he is today – a creative solutions provider able to provide fresh perspective, big ideas and valuable concept-based sales skills as a business development consultant.
