Bill Gluth, Biography

Bill Gluth is “Your Talent in Business Expert” and a professional speaker, trainer and consultant. He is the first person to specialize in developing “talent” as a competitive business strategy.

Bill brings clear, simple and focused action steps to any business building program. He spotlights unleashing your talent in business so that you can learn how to be unique in a commodity driven world.

Since the inception of Develop Your Vision in 2001, Bill has helped a variety of businesses achieve balance, satisfaction and profit with freedom by understanding what makes their business stand out in a crowded market.

Once differentiation points are uncovered, Bill demonstrates how to leverage creativity and focused action to successfully reach a tightly defined audience.

Bill Gluth has a unique ability to blend the creative mind with business strategy. He has held creative, “in-the-trenches” and executive level sales and marketing positions; providing him with an inimitable perspective.

Throughout the 1990’s Bill Gluth worked as a front line sales person, marketing advisor, Vice President of Creative and Vice President of Sales and Marketing. He has researched and applied innovative business building concepts, like Guerrilla Marketing and Rainmaker selling strategies extensively.  

As a public speaker, Bill has been featured at national conventions in both New York and Los Angles. In addition, he has developed and facilitated training programs in all of the major markets in the United States as well as in Canada. 

Bill was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. He first “discovered” creative endeavors the age of fourteen, when he began playing drums in a rock band. Within a few years, his love of music and the creative process grew. He cut a record in the late 1960’s and went on to use music as a creative endeavor and passion for the next decade.

His interest in marketing began in the late 1970’s. As an advertising “people” photographer, working in Chicago, he had the opportunity to create successful campaigns for major advertising agencies, design firms and retailers. 

“I found I enjoyed the strategy or “creative thinking” part of the ad creation process most,” Bill recalls.

In 2001, Bill found himself in a position many baby boomers experience. The company he was working with sold and Bill was forced into a job search for the first time in ten years. He had too much experience, was making too much money and was over qualified for the positions available.

With few options, Bill decided to utilize his love of creative thinking, past experience, knowledge, skills and interest in cutting edge business ideas to launch Develop Your Vision.

Today, he uses his ability to balance creativity with business strategies. He develops systems and step-by-step training programs for businesses that need new ideas and inspiration to grow.

From his perspective Bill Gluth concludes, “When you stop seeing life as an adventure and journey, your vision becomes clouded with limitations instead of cleared by unlimited possibilities.”

Bill conducts seminars, training programs, convention presentations and consulting, nationally.

Current projects in development include a new book and training program incorporating golf with the development of the creative business mind.
