#69 Communicate With Confidence with Bill Kurzeja

Bill Kurzeja is the Owner and founder of Professional Success South, a professional sales training and business consulting firm. Bill’s career began in the United States Army where he learned discipline and the importance of strict attention to detail. Over the next 8 years he made his way up the ranks to sergeant where he learned not only leadership, but the importance of clear, effective communication in training. This made his next move as he transitioned out of the military in 2001 obvious; he would enter the retail automotive industry. Beginning as a salesperson, he quickly rose through the ranks through finance, into sales manager, and finally into the GSM and GM positions. Bill now follows his passion in training and coaching, specializing in the basics of communication and how paying attention to details will build a strong foundation. He is always working to bring knowledge to as many people as possible whether through his clients, on social media, or through his weekly Podcast, Get Focused with Bill K and Gina Faye.
