As an entrepreneur, Wes Berry demonstrated a strategic style of management by building a multi-million dollar brick-and-mortar business. In 1995, his business expanded to the clicks of the internet, causing him to adjust and sharpen his marketing skills to where they soon proved exceptionally well-suited to the new and radically different online arena. He operated under several brands, including Flower Delivery Express, a $750-million-dollar world-class business servicing millions of customers in over 130 countries. Through the years, he's provided consulting services to over forty businesses, even while simultaneously establishing a retail franchise system that operated thirty units in five states. Wes is highly sought-after as a keynote and motivational speaker, both in the business and non-profit worlds. He is a qualified alumni of Steven Covey (7 Habits), Jim Collins (Good to Great), Dale Carnegie, (Win & Influence) and John Maxwell. He hosts his own podcast (migrated from terrestrial radio WDTK Detroit), which has two distinct segments. “The People’s Voice” features current events in a point-counterpoint format and “The Success Factor” segment focuses its spotlight on successful non-profits as well as corporate enterprises. As Wes himself says, “As the show’s host, I’m being guided by the principle that reasonable people can disagree without being disagreeable. Polite discourse of controversial subjects is fundamental to a civil society, and The People’s Voice is committed to providing a forum where opposing views can be respectfully exchanged.” You’re invited to review recent episodes at www.WesleyBerryGroup.com. Wes has collaborated on designing sets for both ABC and CBS television shows, has appeared as a guest on several talk shows, and has been interviewed countless times by broadcast and print media. His many media appearances include: NPR, The Wall Street Journal, The London Times, Entrepreneur and Time magazines, Fox News, Neil Cavuto, Geraldo Rivera, and John Stossel, to name a just few. Additionally, he’s served as Headmaster of a state-licensed private vocational school, and as a licensed real estate agent, having participated in over thirty commercial transactions. After a 40-year business career, and over $750-million dollars in sales, he divested himself of all business interests in 2016 and retired.
