Robinson and Associates work with companies that believe that people are absolutely essential to the success of their company.
We then, through an assessment information gathering process, help those companies put the right people in the right jobs and use that information as a means to coach, train, manage and motivate all of their people to greater success, greater productivity and greater profitability.
Bill Robinson has worked for large corporations for most of his career. Starting out as a Sales Representative in Montreal, he worked his way up the corporate ladder to Sales Manager, General Manager and then General Sales and Marketing Manager for a division of one of Canada's Fortune 500 companies, Canadian Pacific Forest Products.
Managing a small plant of 75 people, was an ideal way to learn manufacturing, finance, human resources, safety and business management.

While in this position, he also assumed the position of Corporate Trainer. This included assisting in the hiring process and developing and delivering sales & employee training programs.
