PRIOR TO HIS SPEAKING CAREER, Rick Barrera had an exceptional selling career. His experience includes retail and business-to-business sales. Based on his experience in sales and as a sales trainer, Rick coauthored two business-best sellers, “Non- manipulative Selling,” and “Collaborative Selling.” He also wrote “The Dollars and Sense of Exceptional Service Delivery.”

RICK DISCOVERED THAT CLIENTS STRATEGIES were often fundamentally flawed causing good people and good companies to obtain “less than optimal results.” In response, he developed “Fast Forward” to help them understand how their marketplace was being changed by customers, competitors and technology. Rick Barrera then developed “Warp Speed” to show them how to change their business models to compete and win at the speed of light.

BEST SELLING AUTHOR: Rick Barrera is co-author of the business bestseller, Non-Manipulative Selling, published by Prentice Hall. The book and its ideas have since grown into the dynamic sales training philosophy, Collaborative Selling, published by John Wiley and Son.
