Mickey Tumlin is the First ActionCOACH in Alabama

Las Vegas, NV, August 28, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Mickey Tumlin was a pharmacist, the owner of five pharmacies, and a pharmaceutical consultant and supplier to nursing homes and treatment centers for 22 years. He decided to retire, but his retirement only lasted for two months.

“Being busy is what I enjoy,” he said. “Building something from the ground up is challenging to me, and I love that quest.”

He returned to working, and became a Senior Executive Director with Excel Communications, becoming the youngest to achieve that position in the history of the company. Tumlin was named to the President's Eagle Team, comprised of leaders who discussed the company's vision, growth strategy, and goals with the Founder/CEO Kenny Troutt, one of the Forbes Wealthiest 400.

"I have the unusual gift of communication and genuinely care for people at all levels of life,” Tumlin said. “Troutt has observed me speak to the cook when no one else took the time, sit on the floor and talk, laugh, and play with his children, and then return to my seat and carry on a very in-depth intelligent business conversation with him.”

When he was approached by ActionCOACH, Tumlin was in the transition of going back into business for himself. He received an email from ActionCOACH, and upon answering their email survey, he received information about ActionCOACH and what it does.

“I became really excited about the possibility of being able to unite my past business experiences, my personality and my desire to help others and deliver ActionCOACH with zest, confidence and positive results to businesses,” Tumlin said.

As he went through the screening process, it was apparent that ActionCOACH was not only a fit for himself, but also for his good friend Jimmy Nipper. They met while playing college football, on their school's 1971 National Championship team at Samford University, located in Birmingham, Al.

“Since we are both former college football players, we understand the value of a team as well as that of leadership, and that both these things are necessary to be successful,” Tumlin said. “I believe ActionCOACH will not only allow me to help businesses in my area, but also impact many of my friends by bringing them into the business, as well.”

Tumlin and Nipper are setting up their office in Birmingham, Alabama. Their Master Licensee is Bill Dupuy. “Bill has been nothing but marvelous throughout this whole process,” he said. “I like the way Bill conducts business and the team he has formed is going to allow us to get off to a great start in Alabama.”

Tumlin is excited to start his new business venture with his friend Nipper. “I get the opportunity to utilize all those 'creative juices' that I once had when I opened my very first pharmacy, only this time, I’m wiser in my business development,” he said. “I thrive on helping other people and I want to help others change their lives with reducing their stress and worry. ActionCOACH will help me achieve this.”
