Dan Williams is the founder of The Networking Community. He is the visionary and leader for advancing networking with the purpose of enabling companies and individuals to more effectively meet the marketing challenges of the 21st century.
Williams’ success as a technology and telecommunications sales executive began in the late 1970s and grew dramatically until the bust of early 2000. Williams led global sales teams for such companies as British Telecom that enabled AOL and other startups during those explosive years of the Internet, to build their foundations for growth. When the tech bubble burst, like many, he went from being worth millions on paper to being unemployed overnight.
During a three-year stint as founder of a micro-enterprise in the mid 1980s, Williams had developed a powerfully simple system for tracking sales and marketing initiatives. While he successfully used this system in business during the 1990s, Williams discovered its true worth when he applied it to his own networking efforts after the economic downturn began. He soon realized a need for a solid networking methodology in the marketplace - one that would enable virtually anyone to network more effectively.
Through recognition on Linkedin, he is the highest endorsed individual in North America (amongst a total of 3.5 million professionals) and is the acknowledged in the media as the thought-leader for networking in America.
In founding The Networking Community, Williams has made his networking know-how available to all; through his local and national live radio shows, his audio CD book Tales from The Networking Community, his weekly e-columns, and speaking engagements.
