Background: Victor Antonio G.

From food stamps and welfare to being the CEO of a multimillion dollar company, Victor Antonio G. is proof that the American dream of success is alive and well.  A poor upbringing from one of the roughest areas of Chicago didn't stop Victor from earning a B.S. Electrical Engineering and an MBA.

Prior to being CEO he was President of Global Sales and Marketing for a $420M technology company.  He was tasked with building a global sales force, establishing contract agreements, developing financial pricing models and in charge of developing the corporate brand and marketing the company’s services for worldwide acceptance.  Before that he was Regional Vice President of International Sales in a High-Tech Fortune 500 corporation with annual sales of $3B at the time.  Within a two and half year time period he grew their business from $14M to $98M in annual revenue.  During that time period his sales totals were $162M.

He was selected from over 500 sales managers to join the President’s Advisory Council for excellence in sales and management.  International Experience: His success in sales and management also helped him establish channels internationally.  He has conducted business in Europe, Asia, Latin America, The Caribbean, South Africa, Australia and The Middle East.

Coaching and Planning

In 2002, Victor began donating his time to the Small Business Administrations (SBA) coaching and mentoring arm, S.C.O.R.E. (Senior Corp of Retired Executives).  The mission of SCORE is to help business owners and entrepreneurs define and refine their business proposals, sales and marketing strategy and the overall implementation of a plan.  As a member of SCORE Victor had the good fortune to be exposed to many different types of business plans and implementation strategies in a variety of market niches giving him a well-rounded understanding that different markets have different needs.

Beyond the business plans and marketing strategies, Victor provides the motivation and leadership that an individual needs who is in the process of starting their own business or simply thinking about it.  A big part of Victor’s success as a coach has been his ability to help the other person create a step-by-step implementation plan for achieving their goal.

What makes Victor the ideal coach? 

Victor has seen the business world from a corporate perspective as an employee and executive in a corporation.  And, as an entrepreneur who started his own business, he understands the ‘bootstrap’ mindset required to make things happen on your own with minimum support.

As a coach, Victor brings four critical components to bear on the success of an individual or a company:

1. His technical background allows him to meet the technological challenges business people face in choosing and implementing the systems to run their business.
2. No business can exist without sales.  Victor’s experience in selling is a critical lynchpin in the development and success of any business venture.  From setting quotas to implementing a sales strategy to delivering sales presentations that sell, Victor can help you put together a realistic plan of action.
3. As markets fragment and the commodification of products and services occurs, differentiating oneself in the market becomes that much more difficult.  How you attract or drive the necessary traffic to your business hinges on a well thought out ‘go-to-market’ strategy.  Victor will help you decipher and select which marketing strategies which will be more effective for your product or service.
4. As an author and speaker on motivation and leadership, Victor understands how critical it is not to get discouraged in the face of adversity and inevitable setbacks.  Victor’s words of encouragement and personal experience in business will serve as a support system to help you stay focused and motivated on what needs to get done in order to succeed.

Victor’s street-savvy upbringing, corporate experience, entrepreneurship and positive staying power make him the ideal coach, mentor and motivator in developing tomorrow’s new business leaders.
