Pensacola Business Radio Spotlights Steve Speaks – Business RadioX

December 29, 2015 by angishields

PENSACOLA, FL–(Marketwired – December 29, 2015) – On November 18, 2015, Pensacola Business Radio welcomed to the studio Professional Speaker Steve Wilmer. Host Keith Hoffert sat down with Wilmer to learn about his passion for public speaking that led to the development of Steve Speaks.

As founder of Steve Speaks, Steve Wilmer has built a reputation around being passionate, motivated, energetic, inspiring, practical, talented, humorous, relevant, and enthusiastic. Wilmer energizes the room when he walks in and all eyes and ears are tuned to his message. He captivates his audience and has them sitting on the edge of their seats to hear what’s next. Wilmer’s humor and quick wit has audiences laughing out loud while delivering a message that is clear, practical and relevant to any audience.

After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps and as a law enforcement officer, Wilmer started his own business with Ameriplan Health and Dental. It is here where he discovered that his true passion was team building and motivating others to achieve their goals. He was later recruited by State Farm Kizziah Agency and quickly rose through the ranks as one of the top insurance producers in the state.

Wilmer then decided to branch out on his own with his speaking and presentation experience and started Steve Speaks. “When I decided to start the company,” said Wilmer, “I sent an email to 20-25 people who had heard me speak before and asked ‘What would you say about me as a speaker’ and that’s what I’m going to use in my bio and promotion.”

Wilmer has spoken to audiences from 5 to 500. From inspiring independent business owners to achieve their goals to training employees on team building and what it takes to win in business, his presentations are true investments in success. Wilmer currently travels the country coaching and training insurance agents in the art of the sales process and is highly sought after in this field.

To learn more about Steve Speaks, listen to the entire interview on Pensacola Business Radio.
