cold closers founder & managing partner- Edward E. Williams III

I began my telesales career nearly 20 years ago at Cincinnati Bell as an Inbound Service Representative for the AT&T Winback Project and discovered a love for cold calling. Over the years, I have sharpened my cold calling sales skills with Fortune 500 organizations like: Reynolds & Reynolds, NCR and MCI. Currently, I execute tactical cold calling and sales development programs for a host of companies around the country (see our Partners page) Additionally, I have held various sales leadership and management roles including:

Inside Sales Manager, Contingent Network Services
Business Development Manager, Meta Marketing
Telemarketing Team Leader, DMR

I create valuable relationships at every level within an organization and provide expert sales leadership, technical competency, positive and winning attitude, a consistent and persistent action habit and a willingness to go the extra mile- to each partnership agreement. My driving philosophy is, "I will persist until I succeed, because no only means, not right now".

I am a Christian family man (wife and 3 boys) and reside in a northern suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio where I maintain diverse interests such as business mentorship LTD- Leadership Team Development, reading, blogging, weight training, playing basketball and the saxophone.
