“During my 45-year tenure as a Sales executive, I hired hundreds of salespeople. Very few were remarkable, but Ed Baldry truly stood out. After I interviewed Ed, a bright, young recent college graduate, I decided to give him a chance. He told me he would give me three years but his ultimate goal was to get into the financial industry. He wanted to learn everything he could about Sales.
Ed took off from the start. He had a great work ethic and was very determined to win. And he did win by becoming the number one sales rep in the country, over the entire salesforce of 1,000. He stayed true to his word, almost three years to the day, he resigned and moved on. Ed continued to have huge success in several companies before starting his own very successful company. Today, I cherish our 30-year friendship, as there are few individuals that I hired, that I can say that about.”
