Rick is a terrific salesperson and an even better person. I had the pleasure of working alongside him at WIRED and witnessed a level of professionalism, client service and creativity from Rick that is as good as I have ever seen in business. Rick was a Salesperson of the Year at WIRED and he consistently found ways to invent business through his partnerships with clients. He is a senior, seasoned, sales and marketing professional and I can not recommend him strongly enough.Howard Mittman
Rick Bald is a total professional in learning his clients’ businesses, developing strong relationships with them and in getting the most out of the tools he’s provided by the organization he represents. He’s bottom-line focused and always hit his numbers. Was our Sales Person of the Year one year at WIRED and in contention for the honor most other years. He was also one of six media sales professionals nominated for a MIN National Sales Person Of The Year Award. I highly endorse Rick as a media sales professional.Jay Lauf
Rick worked with the key members of the Maui Jim team during the partnership between Maui Jim and the Vail Valley Foundation. Rick’s customer service and follow up skills are impeccable and he always went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that every logistical detail was organized so that every event was flawlessly executed and was promoted at the maximum level possible. I also always was very grateful to Rick for his expertise as a consultant to us at every step in the process, advising on best ways to promote and maximize dollars spent, specifics of location details, creation and dissemination of promotional materials, setup and any alternate and creative options for highlighting Maui Jim at events. He was continually presenting new event ideas and means of promoting the brand that matched the company mission and brand character. Rick was a pleasure to be around and truly partnered with us in every way. He truly cared as much as we did that every event was a success!Beth Discepolo
Rick is more than a great sales professional, he is a great business partner. He takes the time to understand his clients goals and objectives and then utilizes his wealth of experience in the outdoor lifestyle space to deliver smart, integrated platforms that move the dial. I had the pleasure of working with Rick on two occasions when my client, Nature Valley Granola Bars, sponsored NASTAR and Warren Miller Entertainment as well as the 2015 World Alpine Championships. In both instances Rick’s understanding of our brand enabled him to deliver compelling activation programs that were on-strategy and seamlessly tied the media he was selling to our overall sponsorship packages.Brad Smith
