Ray Hansell - Chairman and Co-Founder

Ray Hansell
Chairman and Co-Founder

Ray Hansell, the Chairman and CEO, charts the direction and strategy of A Better World. Earlier in his career, Ray was a sales and marketing executive with both ADP and NCR. It was his experience with these companies that was key, while running RMH Teleservices, to enable him to land accounts with Fortune 500 companies such as Discover Card and J.C. Penney. Ray also drew upon his early experience in acting, where he realized the parallels between the company and a Broadway show. The telemarketing representatives were like the “performers” in having to express themselves in a convincing manner in order to make sales. The trainers were the “directors” who taught the sales and customer service representatives how to “play their parts”. Finally, the management team was akin to the “producers” who put on the play every day for their customers. Training was implemented along these scenarios.
