The Open Dor is a new company that is helping Cannabis Entrepreneurs open up stores across several states, and reduce the first time business owner mistakes. Will Chelsea Mulligan become the Ray Kroc of Cannabis? Maybe.
info_outlineAfter many years in business, Ray decided to take his learnings about networking to sales organizations around the world.
Ray Abram’s message comes from his realization that everyone has heard the term know, like, trust. However, no one ever tells you how to “do it”. We’re all taught from childhood, that people either like you and trust you or they don’t. So we just focus on the “know” part of the phrase and let the cards fall where they may. Ray wants to change this misconception and has dedicated his career to doing just that.
Known as “The Connection Coach”, he provides audiences worldwide with interesting and thought-provoking ideas around new ways to define and build your network quickly and efficiently.
Ray earned his BA in Speech Communications from Hampton University in Virginia and is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and sales professionals. He is the author of the bestselling book, “Connect Like A Boss”.
He hails from the Tidewater area of Virginia and currently lives in Atlanta, GA with his Wife and Three Sons.
