This is probably most appropriate because he has spent his whole life in direct commission sales. He started as a teenager as a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman and closed out his career as CEO of an investment real estate firm he founded in 1980. All five of his children are ‘commission only’ salespeople, as all self employed people truly wind up being.
Becoming an effective salesperson is learning to be a story teller.

Bill has made thousands of in home sales, which coincidentally with the Shabaikai novel, included sewing machines. In creating the Shabaikai story, Bill called upon his decades of sales experience to create one of the lead characters and his fascinating business career doing business in another era long forgotten by most people.
Bill has been married to his third wife, Susan, for twenty seven years and she became to CEO of the family owned firm when Bill retired to become a full time author.view less
