Finnish Cultural Institute

We began in 1973 as the only organization in the world whose sole purpose was to attract, train, and place women in Executive Sales. At that time, there were very few women in the profession. In fact, most women didn't even know about executive sales jobs or how suitable they would be for them. Most women didn't understand why business-to-business selling had many more career advantages than retail or showroom or real estate sales. Our business concept was to educate women about "Executive Sales", a new term we coined in 1973. Our main focus was free training in the form of seminars. We offered up to 14 3-hour seminars including "Why Sales?", "How to Select a Career Path in Executive Sales, " "How to Sell at the Business Lunch, " "How to Construct and Give Sales Presentations, " and "How to Sell Advertising Space". No one else had ever done this before, so someone wrote a newspaper article about us in The Chicago Tribune. Then someone else wrote another newspaper article. And then there were several more. Next, magazines wrote about what we were doing for women, including Family Circle, Essence, Women's Day and close to 50 others. Our founder, David King, wrote a book in 1979, The Best Way in the World for a Woman to Make Money and it warranted personal TV appearances on "Good Morning America, " "AM Chicago, " "Detroit, " followed by appearances in Cleveland, Toronto, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Honolulu, and more. Now past our 35th anniversary, although we no longer give seminars, we have placed more than 50, 000 women and men in Executive Sales, Marketing Advertising, and Public Relations jobs from our New York and Los Angeles offices.
