In 1987, Vickie Sullivan left the field of politics in search for more fulfilling work. So when she found a 10-hour a week job promoting a personal growth speaker, it was a temporary assignment until she "found a real job." Well, fate had other plans; one week later she was hooked. Three weeks later, she was promoting two speakers full time and Sullivan Speaker Services was born.

Vickie got the attention of the local speaking community when she tripled the income of one speaker within six months. To set up shop, she sent 100 letters to local speakers offering to help them. Within 24 hours, her phone started ringing and her schedule was filled within three weeks. Ninety days later, SSS turned a profit and has grown steadily since.
