Welcome to the Business Growth Trailblazers Podcast! In this episode, we uncover that selling is about so much more than closing deals—it's about connecting with people, understanding their needs, and delivering solutions that truly matter.
Phil Whitebloom is a seasoned sales expert and dynamic leader with over 40 years of experience in sales, sales management, and executive leadership. His illustrious career began immediately after college and includes notable highlights such as his 23-year tenure at Sony, where he rose from a salesperson to Vice President of Sales for Government, Corporate, and Education sectors. Phil's outstanding performance at Sony earned him the prestigious Samurai Award twice, the company's highest honor.
Throughout his career, Phil has managed sales teams across North America and Latin America, achieving remarkable success. He also served as Vice President of Sales for various small and medium-sized businesses in the U.S., France, and Israel. His impressive clientele ranged from the White House and major broadcasters to universities and Fortune 500 companies, spanning hundreds of markets and thousands of applications. Under his leadership, Phil and his teams have generated career sales exceeding $1.5 billion. He takes great pride in the diversity of his sales organizations and their high employee retention rates.
After retiring from the corporate world, Phil launched BeenThere Consulting Services, LLC, a firm dedicated to sales coaching. Leveraging his extensive experience, Phil helps businesses and individuals improve and grow through one-to-one coaching, group coaching, workshops, and motivational speaking.
