"Ted Box has dedicated his career to creating exceptional Customer experiences"

I'd like to take a moment to express my gratitude. I've dedicated my career to investing in ventures that improve our world starting with how we market and sell products and services to what we use to get from point A to point B. I choose to reach out and contribute rather than sit on the sidelines so, when I express my opinion, please understand that the intent is part of a constructive effort to improve our lives, our experiences with products and services, and our returns. For those who choose to run with our pack or join our tribe and especially those who provide me with honest feedback, I offer you my most humble gratitude; you are an important influence in my life. I am especially grateful for the opportunities and the relationships I have with my clients, my partners, my team, my mentors, my family & friends. Although I may not always wear my emotions on my sleeve, I care about you deeply and I'll do my best to be there for you.

Thank You.

Speaking Engagements / PodCasts / Interviews etc

I'd love to but please understand that:

I rarely speak with a passive audience because I prefer to engage people and help them tackle some of their most pressing issues
I will not be pitching a specific product but, I may suggest a few to add to your stack to improve your results

(the time it takes from first contact to closing a deal)
especially relevant in the WFH scenario
Five powerful ways to engage your audience
How to garner insight from your target prospects
How to identify your best prospects
How to know what your audience is really interested in?

My best selling book covers several of the above topics...

Highlights

Lessons learned

You've probably heard the saying
'In God we trust, all others pay cash' Well, I've had my fair share of expensive lessons. In fact, I've had to deal with disingenuous people for decades and it still irks me that I wasted so much time, effort, and money on people who simply never intended on living up to their handshakes. Yes, you could call them poor investments. Well, here is a story that I like to read once in a while to remind me that I can't win every game I play. Some battles need to be sacrificed if you want to win the war.

Imagine you have 500,000 gold coins. You live your life to the fullest. You enjoy travel, food, events with your family and other great activities surrounded by the people you love. You have a great time with your family and you treat everyone respectfully.
You buy a boat, you buy a nice house on the outskirts of your favorite city. Your kids go to a nice school and they enjoy spending gold coins with you too. Your day starts with reading something compelling and drinking fresh juice. You enjoy your work, you enjoy your free time, in the evening you teach your kids valuable lessons and in the night you spend quality time with your wonderful wife.

At a certain point in time, you only have 300,000 coins left and you wonder if that is going to be enough for you during your golden years.

One day while you're out shopping, you see an ad for a money cloning machine. You check it out and discover that the machine is free to use and it claims that if you put your gold coins in it, the machine will clone them.

You can only put 24 gold coins into the machine each day. You figure, what the heck, let's do this.

You start putting coins into the machine but, it doesn't work. No clones pop out at all. It simply takes your money, makes a strange noise and then stops. You're not one for quitting so, you put more coins into the machine to see if it will live up to the promise made in the ad but, it still doesn't clone your coins. It simply eats them instead. You call the store's customer service people, and complain about the machine. They tell you to keep putting your coins into the machine - it should work eventually.

You think to yourself, you're only spending 24 gold coins per day. There is no harm in that. You have plenty of gold coins left. So you start putting 24 gold coins into the machine every single day. After a month... nothing!
3 months... nothing!
6 months... nothing!

You begin to lose yourself in this quest and it turns into an obsession. It drives your friends crazy. They tell you to stop since you have not had any success. The thing is, you have invested so much into this endeavor that there is no turning back. You have to make it work. You get dark circles under your eyes, you lose your job. Your wife is very upset. Your children are concerned. Your boat is up for auction. Your house is falling apart and requires maintenance.

Why am I telling you this story?
Those 500,000 gold coins represent the 500,000 hours in a life of 60 years. That machine has hurt you, played with your ego, insulted you and is basically making a fool out of you. You want to make it work or you want your gold coins back from the machine, but all that is happening is that you are losing more and more precious time.

Your hours on this earth are limited my friend. If you don't ignore that dang machine, you'll likely lose more than just time.

Regardless of the difficulty in making the decision, the machine has to go. Your peace of mind, your life, your future and your family are counting on it.

Focus on things that work. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Reasonable Exits

Investing is an art. DD more of a science.
I prefer a combination of both.

"What I'm executing now"

I believe in a world where words, ideas, images, sounds, and motion can all come together in one place - a place where people can be connected through effective, and fluent communication that helps individuals achieve their goals.

By creating exceptional customer experiences, I'd like to offer people the opportunity to cut through the clutter and find what they are looking for - a place where they can actively discover things that truly engage their imagination.
