Abe WalkingBear Sanchez- Abe WalkingBear Sanchez, Co-Founder of Profit InnerCircle™, LLC, began his credit career as a "repo-man" for a consumer finance company in Denver, Colorado in 1968. And since 1982, when he left his position as a corporate credit manager, he has worked with companies across a wide range of industries and has authored hundreds of business articles. Developer of the original Profit System, which is a proven set of methodologies that have revolutionized the way business managers think of and manage one of, if not their largest assets; WalkingBear believes that every business manager should be a Profit manager and that a business manager not focused on improvement becomes an administrator at best and a bureaucrat at worst.

WalkingBear's clients include Atradius, the Irish Institute of Credit Management, IBM, the Institute of Credit Management-UK, Colorado University, Colorado State University, and Texas A&M, just to name a few.

Simon Groves- Simon Groves, Contributing Editor of the "Best Kept Profit Secret..." Simon is an experiential Marketing Manager for Atradius, the leading global credit management company. Simon's career in credit management began 25 years ago, and his aim has always been to make the often unnecessarily complicated world of credit and debt management accessible and readily understandable. To that end, he's been instrumental in producing many of Atradius' business-focused publications and events – including those featuring his friend and mentor Abe WalkingBear Sanchez. He's also represented Atradius at many leading credit management conferences, in finance industry publications and on CNN Global Business News. To Simon, good communication lies in understanding the power of words - and of metaphor. It was WalkingBear who told him ‘Words are magic – they paint pictures in people's minds' and that's a lesson that has stayed with him ever since. When he's not beavering away for Atradius, Simon's first love is his family – his lovely wife Sue and three equally lovely daughters Zoe, Kirsty and Nicola. And his second love is his rock band Roosvelt for which he provides the steady backbeat from behind his exceptionally loud drums.
