Sam Parker

Sam Parker
Sam cofounded Give More Media (formerly known as MaxPitch Media) in early 1998 after selling for more than a decade in several different industries – financial services, pharmaceuticals, joint replacements, office products, and software. Today, he continues his role in serving the subscribers, partners and employees of Give More.

He's also the author of 212° the extra degree®, Smile & Move™, and SalesTough™ (coauthored with Jim). He has a degree in marketing from James Madison University (1987), speaks to groups occasionally, tweets, blogs, and does his best to smile & move daily.

He frequently thanks Jim for being the master of business administration so he doesn't have to.

Jim Gould
Jim cofounded Give More Media. Before Give More, he was in sales and management for an international finance company (9 years). In 1997, he caught the web bug with an Internet banking company (before online banking actually used the web).

Jim coauthored SalesTough™ and guest lectures to university classes on sales, entrepreneurship and online marketing. He graduated from James Madison University (1988) with degrees in finance and international business and earned a masters in business administration from George Mason University (1997).

He secretly wishes Sam would have become a master in business administration as well.
