About William Bernhard

First and foremost, I am a Christ Follower. My faith drives all the decisions my family and I make. In fact, a group of buddies and I started a podcast to talk about this call Fishing For Men: https://open.spotify.com/show/23bXBWIZZEXweVOYutvfVo?si=mPBpaIuETR62i4SaaqW0jQ Growing up playing sports, I never understood what the coaches meant when they said a lot of what we are teaching you in this game will translate to your professional life. As a young kid and teenager, you think,\"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say, coach.\" Then I took my first job as a digital development rep at HP and light bulbs started going off as I encountered different situations. Sports teach us many valuable attributes, especially for sales professionals. Attributes such as, teamwork, determination and humility.Baseball was my sport of choice and I believe it uniquely relates to the professional world very well. It teaches us accountability, adaptability, goal setting, leadership, self-discipline, self-awareness, loyalty, time management, coach-ability, ethics, competitiveness, patience, and so many others. These translate to a sales environment very well and create future leaders in the business world. These are the kinds of attributes I look for in my colleagues and will look for in my sales team.Aside from being an obvious sports fan, I am also a huge family man and very involved in our church. I have been married since Dec \'14 and have a wonderful daughter who was born in May \'17 and a son born in Sept \'19. I believe we often do a lot of pouring into other people and forget that we need our cup filled up too, so my cup gets filled up by my family and spending time with the Lord through serving. I enjoy meeting new people and have an awesome career that allows me to do that every day.Feel free to contact me via InMail.
