William SerGio & Co., Inc.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) / Sole Owner
4/1977 - 8/2003
CEO & Sole Owner of this over $500 million a year TV Marketing Company
selling a wide variety of products on National TV using over 100 Famous
Celebrities I hired & directed.
My company was 50/50 partners in hundreds of companies with BILLIONAIRE
David Geller of David Geller & Associates, Inc., NYC. New York. David
Geller was famous in the mail order business because he and I literally
controlled the print mail order business in America. David owned the
remnant space (i.e., unsold ad space) in 13,000 newspapers and magazines on
99-year contracts dating from the 1940s. David Geller's cost on a full-page
ad in the N.Y. Times was $6. If you bought a full page directly from the
N.Y. Times it would $250,000. You could never make a profit at this price,
but if you paid David Geller 50% of what your ad grossed, then you would be
guaranteed a profit.
I worked with all the ad agencies in New York City taking direct response
ads that would never make a profit-and I re-worked the layouts and ad copy
using my background in Cognitive Psychology so that ads would pull as much
as 10 times more money and I have applied this knowledge and experience in
laying out thousands of full-page ads to my work in website design.

Quicken. I got my friend, actor, Bill Bixby, to host an infomercial I

70 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS in C++ and bundled them with an Apple IIE computer
and I gave away Quicken as a bonus-Scott Cook gave me Quicken for FREE and
PAID me to help launch Quicken. It was the most successful infomercial
ever produced in the history of infomercials, pulling over $76 in sales
for every $1 of TV time per day.
. Designed and built inbound and owned and wrote all the software for
outbound 800 telemarketing operations in Utah, California, and Nevada.
Sued AT&T for not reporting call blockage and collected $5 million
settlement. Got federal legislation enacted to force AT&T and all phone
companies to supply a "Call Blockage Report." Orders tripled, and income
over $5 million a month for EACH infomercial.
. Installed Dialogic Boards to automate 800 order processing that increased
sales by $20 million.
. Convinced chains like Kmart, Walmart, GNC, etc. to purchase our products
for cash up front before delivery with a no return policy because
infomercial time is so effective in driving sales.
. Pioneered use of Famous Celebrities in Infomercials to market a wide
variety of products. Personally negotiated with and hired over 100 Famous
Celebrities and cut out their agents.
. Successfully developed deals with governments of Dominican Republic,
Mexico & Latin America to market my products. My wife's uncle was Joaquin
Balaguer, President of the Dominican Republic which allowed us to

Emilio Azc rraga, CEO of Grupo Televisa in Mexico.

Stars are singing hosannas

Mostly, it's not to bolster

infomercial might put it,
"to maximize hidden earning
potential."
Infomercials began in 1984,
when the government ended
its 12-minute-per-hour limit
on TV ads. Six years later,
the "shows"(for which the
infomercialist buys the
airtime) were raking in
over
$500 million a year in
sales for one
infomercialist, William
Sergio, a major producer of
celebrity infomercials.
William Sergio is the

writer, producer and

infomercials airing on
national television that are
raking in the big bucks.
Sergio's super successful

been featured everywhere
from PrimeTime with Diane
Sawyer to the Johnny Carson
Show.
