John Boggs

John Boggs graduated from  Portland High School and attended Indiana University in Bloomington as an honors chemistry pre-med student. His pursuit of a medical degree was interrupted by marriage which led him by default into a career of sales and sales management. As general manager of WPGW, he brings a both large and small market experience.

John discovered the advertising industry through selling advertising schedules to local businesses for a new radio station in Bloomington. He continued in radio in the Indianapolis market, moving on to sales and general management in radio in Fort Wayne and then on to the South Bend market before returning to Indianapolis in 1991 ending up in both radio and television management. In 1998, John entered the print advertising business with a publisher in East Central Indiana, allowing him to move home to Portland. He spent eleven years as a magazine publisher with niche publications focused on the senior market and women’s special interest publications.

John and his wife, Debbie live in Portland where he continues to mentor salespeople as well as companies wishing to increase their sales revenues with common-sense solutions. A ten-year member of American Mensa, he continues to refine his sales metrics in the form of his service-marked Sales Performance Tracker which isolates the critical sales metrics that leverage the selling effort and accurately forecasts sales strategies. John provides this sales management system free to anyone who asks. He continues to update his stories of the good, bad and the ugly in local advertising on his Blog http://ADviceByJohnBoggs.Com/Blog/
