Scott Zimmerman helps companies make more sales with less effort. By combining proven one-to-one marketing, sales & customer service training with proprietary communications technology, Scott’s clients enjoy measurable advantages over their competition.

During the past 20 years, Scott has studied graphic design, branding, positioning, psychology (as related to influence) business-to-business selling and one-to-one marketing.

In 1989, he started a full-service marketing/communications firm: Zimmer Graphics, Inc. In 2001, he unveiled the first web-based contact management system (called “Cyrano”) that could automatically deliver customized messages to prospects and clients on behalf of salespeople and rainmakers. One-to-one marketing immediately jumped from theory to reality when The Cyrano Marketing System was released. Zimmerman promptly changed the name of his company to The Cyrano Group.

In 2003, Zimmerman began searching for ways to match marketing messages to recipients’ personality types. His research led him to Dr. Tony Alessandra (one of America’s foremost experts in applied human behavior). They began looking for ways to combine Zimmerman’s new technology with Alessandra’s proven psychology. In 2005, they formed and became become partners in Platinum Rule Group LLC.

Also in 2005, they co-authored “The Platinum Rule for Sales Mastery” with Dr. Joseph La Lopa. “The Platinum Rule for Small Business Mastery” was released in 2006 (with Ron Finklestein). In 2007, “The Platinum Rule for Trade Show Mastery” (with Steve Underation) became an Amazon.com best seller.

Scott has appeared as a guest on several video shows for TSTN.com (The Success Training Network). In 2008, Scott was asked to join the exclusive faculty of iLearningGlobal.tv to share his knowledge of leveraging psychology and technology for creating high-trust relationships. Scott is listed as one of the Founding Experts in the CanDoGo knowledge base for selling skills, personal development and motivation.

As a speaker, trainer and consultant, Zimmerman is known for his lively, humorous delivery while he gently leads people into a new way of understanding interpersonal relationships, the power of persuasion and how to leverage new technologies.
