They are the high achievers, the business developers, the moneymakers in your organization. According to Ed, “Anyone can be a rainmaker: the owner and executives who provide strong leadership, the sales team that brings in revenue, the employees who build client connections.”

His energetic, engaging, and entertaining style is only one reason why Ed’s strategies improve performance helping individuals manage change and increase revenue regardless of economic obstacles and challenges.
