Bill Lee is
president of Lee Resources, Inc., a consulting and training firm
that works with owners and general managers who want to earn optimal
bottom line profits and with salespeople who want to increase their
sales and improve their gross margin.
In 2003, Bill
published his first book, Gross Margin: 26 Factors Affecting
Your Bottom Line. In 2005, Bill published his second book,
30 Ways Managers Shoot Themselves in the Foot.
Bill is also
a columnist for LBJ Journal, a US publication and Centre Magazine,
a Canadian publication. Each month, Bill’s ezine articles
are read by thousands of managers and salespeople.
Since 1987,
as a speaker, trainer and consultant, Bill has worked with over
300 companies and with over 30,000 owners, general managers and
salespeople to grow their business and improve profitability.
After graduating
from Emory University in Atlanta, Bill joined New York-based GAF
Corporation where he became the youngest sales manager in that company’s
history. In 1969, Bill became a part-owner in the startup organization,
Builder Marts of America, Inc. (BMA). By 1986, Bill’s last
full year with BMA, he and his partners had grown BMA from a startup
to over $640 million in sales.
In 1987, Bill
sold his interest in BMA and founded Lee Resources, Inc.
In 1993, Bill
earned the designation, CSP (Certified Speaking Professional) from
the National Speakers Association. He is also a charter member of
Master Speakers International.
Today, Bill
is a highly sought-after speaker, trainer and business consultant
who sees too many of his clients earning 6% to 8% profit margin
before taxes not to believe all businesses can achieve an optimal
bottom line.
One of the best
received segments in Bill's presentations is the module on Benchmarks
and Productivity Indexes. "Achieve these benchmarks and optimal
profitability automatically follows," says Lee.

national clients include: Ace Hardware, Amarok, American Wholesale,
Andersen Window Corporation, BMA, BMC-West, BSC Corp., Budget Car
