Raz Chorev’s Summary

Personal Marketing services, sales coaching, Social media enthusiast. (Always wanted to be an expert, but social media changes too often. Fascinating though...).
I enjoy connecting people, and sharing my knowledge and experience.

My Background story:

Being interested in starting up businesses, I found my weakest point was being shy and reserved. I forced myself to go into sales, and overcame my shyness. I was fortunate to be guided by the right people, learning to become an ethical and honest salesperson, who puts the clients' need infront of my own.
Having the broad perspective of business, I am able to find the right solution for my clients, which also work for my company.
An eternal student, always looking for self improvement.
Serving 4 years in the army's special forces, taught me that everything is possible, if I believe it is.

Years later I heard the famous Henry Ford line: "if you think you can, or you think you can't - you are right".

I have a regular column (Business Coach) in Mortgage Professional Australia magazine; I'm a regular contributor to My Business and CEO Online magazines, writing about sales, marketing and customer retention strategies.

I'm also an enthusiast blogger, and keeping and updating two main blogs:
1.Sales Essentials (http://razchorev.wordpress.com) - where I share my experience with sales tactics, customer service, and more...
2.The institute of Effective Communication, (www.razchorev.com) - where I write about communication & networking (online and offline), marketing and personal branding.

I'm currently contributing to the Sales Rescue Team on the Dunn & Bradstreet blog (http://www.allbusiness.com, http://www.q4sales.com & http://www.salesrescueteam.com). All for a good cause - help small businesses prosper!!

Because we live and work in a world of change…a world that is changing, and a world that needs changing!

‘Change’ means we are immigrants into a new time. There is no instruction manual. There are no clear signs on where to turn, or what to do. This is truer in 2009 than in 2008. And this is truer today than it was yesterday.

Different attitudes and skills are needed to flourish in a world of change;

* Flexibility and adaptability,
* Confidence and bravery,
* Enterprise and imagination,
* The conviction to back yourself no matter what.

RE:THINK will bring together Australia’s and the World’s greatest THINKERS to ask questions and provide answers on the challenges facing us all, as we look to RE:THINK our future!
