Who is this guy, Todd Bingham?
Todd Bingham has been in the art gallery business since the late 1970's. In 1985, while on staff
with Galerie Michael on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, he began conducting sales training workshops
for many outside galleries who were cooperating with Galerie
Michael's

by dealers, prompting Bingham to offer it as a stand-alone training program.
