Steve Weinberg has spent his life selling and helping others sell better, more, and faster. He is an expert at building, guiding, and sustaining high caliber sales teams, and creating exemplary standards in account management. He has authored Above Quota Performance to transfer his knowledge to others that want to improve their sales results.
Steve has closed over $500 million in new business. His sales have included many leading global corporations, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, eBay, PayPal, Google, Facebook, Prudential, and Costco.
He has over three decades of leadership experience in sales, including Vice Presidencies at Dun & Bradstreet Software, AC Nielsen, Solcorp (then part of EDS, now HP), and at Deloitte and Touche.
