Richard is the author of Unleashing the Power of Consultative Selling and has a proven track record in the development of pioneering techniques when he literally rewrote and created a new sales methodology Sales Mapping “The Process of Connecting the Dots and Winning Customers for Life®”. 

He is a sought after leadership speaker, workshop leader and advisor. His clients refer to him as the “Motivational Teacher not as a Motivational Speaker.” He has been able to masterfully blend his extensive background in proven business processes, personal transformation with his cutting-edge knowledge of peak performance techniques and training in real world settings into his programs. 

Richard is a recognized expert in his field and Unleashing the Power of Consultative Selling is a required textbook as part of the International Project Management course offered by Groupe ESC Clermont an elite Graduate School of Management. His book is also used by eHow.com as the source to explain consultative selling.

He found after studying the top performers and in his own coaching and mentoring practice to achieve success requires both a personal focus combined with professional techniques. He has collected these strategies into programs for achieving success in consultative selling, marketing, leading high performance teams and most of all “Creating a Better YOU.” 

Richard used these strategies to pursue a passion...becoming a race car driver. Racing taught him many skills that he incorporated in his coaching, speaking and training. It takes a “Spark” to create “Acceleration”...and this is what MOTOvation is all about discovering the “Spark that Motivates YOU to Action.” These strategies helped him to write and publish his book, become a speaker and trainer, achieve success as a senior executive, create and trademark a sales methodology, lead hundreds of life transformation workshops, start a business and most of all become a better person. 

His latest  program is “The MOTOvation System” that combines what it needed to “Increase Personal and Professional Effectiveness” in life, consultative selling, marketing and leadership.

He lives in Birmingham , Alabama with his wife of over 28 years and has three grown children and two grandsons.
