ABOUT ME
My name is Raz Chorev, I’m your personal marketer! As we know, People Buy People, therefore I concentrate with my clients on the people side of their business, themselves, their employees, and of course – their customers.
Raz Chorev
Being interested in starting up businesses, I found my weakest point was being shy and reserved. I forced myself to go into sales, and overcame my shyness. I was fortunate to be guided by the right people, learning to become an ethical and honest salesperson, who prioritizes the clients’ needs.
Having the broad perspective of the business, I am able to find the right solution for the client, which also work for the company.
An eternal student, always looking for self improvement. Reading and listening to books, lectures & attending seminars are routine for me.
Serving 4 years in special forces, taught me that everything is possible, if I believe it is.
Years later I heard the famous Henry Ford line: “if you think you can, or you think you can’t – you are right”.
I have a regular column (Business Coach) in Mortgage Professional Australiamagazine, and I’m a regular contributor to My Business and CEO Onlinemagazines, writing about sales, marketing and customer retention strategies.
I’m currently contributing to the Sales Rescue Team on the Dunn & Bradstreet blog (http://www.allbusiness.com). All for a good cause – help small businesses prosper!!
I’m involved in many interesting projects, but to name a few:
Time To RE:THINK – a global effort to change the way people think of their existence, an their role in the world
JobCamp – a National effort to help the unemployed and underemployed find employment, and rethink the definition of a job, to be something which is fun, meaningful, and contributing to society.
Specialties

I can help you too – if you let me….
Raz, I’m glad to have met you and really enjoyed the conversation that ensued! It made me proud to hear the things you stand for. What you are doing for ‘marketing’ and ‘branding’ ~ redefining and refining ‘concepts’ that for many are a superficial veneer and have regretfully now become things people often speak of in contempt… almost ‘dirty words’. We are so in need people of people who not only set high standards but hold themselves to them, who stand by their values and who walk their talk, so thank you firstly for your endeavors to show how, and more so for having the integrity to walk the talk yourself! It’s commendable and I’d recommend you to anyone who wanted to successfully market themselves from integrity and by truly adding value!
