The Business of Sports: Ray Pinney Explains That Trusted Relationships Are Vital To Success

Portfolio.com speaks to athletes turned entrepreneurs to reveal the unexpected differences and parallels between life in the arena and at the office. This week they profiled Ray Pinney who was once part of one of the most successful dynasties in N.F.L. history, protecting quarterback Terry Bradshaw and opening holes for running back Franco Harris ... as an offensive lineman he won two Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Twenty-one years later, Pinney is a senior vice president at Wells Fargo Insurance Services, the fifth largest insurance-brokerage firm in the world and the largest bank-affiliated insurance brokerage in the United States and he's taken the same approach to selling insurance as he once did out on the field.

Aside from building trusting relationship ... Pinney tells us to " Come Early and Stay Late".
