Jim Sterne has spent more than 15
years selling and marketing technical
products. He began his career as a
professional explainer, helping people
understand Visicalc at a time when
"personal computer" was an
oxymoron. He successfully described
sales order processing systems to
people using hand-cranked
tabulators. He was at the forefront of the Computer Aided
Software Engineering (CASE) tool revolution and has clarified
the salient points of object-oriented programming to software
engineers across the country.
Since 1994, Jim Sterne has devoted all of his attention to the
Internet as a marketing medium. His insight and currency are
assured by his experience as a founding partner of a regional
Internet access provider and his activities as a consultant to
some of the world's largest companies and innovative
start-ups.
On Monday, September 27, 1993, the National Center for
Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) released the first public
version of its graphical World Wide Web browser, Mosaic. On
Tuesday, September 27, 1994, Jim Sterne launched the
world's first "Marketing on the Internet" seminar series. This
eight-city tour introduced the United States to the possibilities

customer service. In November, 1995, Jim Sterne's book,
"World Wide Web Marketing," was published by John Wiley &
Sons and his second book, "Customer Service on the
Internet," was published in October, 1996. His third tome:
"What Makes People Click, Advertising on the Internet," was
released in September, 1997 and the completely revised
