It all started in 1999
Don & Linda Locke
Don spent 24 years in broadcast sales management working to optimize inventory and revenue. Frustrated with the lack of sound science-based reasoning in the field, he began researching economic principles and game theory. He poured all of his research into a massive and complex spreadsheet designed to consider the varying factors that come into play pricing media inventory. An entrepreneur at heart, he and his wife Linda took the leap that turned that spreadsheet into software in 1999 and established
ShareBuilders grew from a basement operation to the largest media pricing and forecasting software company in the US. Initially staffed only with family members, ShareBuilders now employs nearly 30 dedicated professionals in a new office space in Washington, Illinois.
In 2016, ShareBuilders purchased media CRM company Efficio Solutions, bringing on 13 additional employees working remotely across the United States. Those teams are working as one to combine the power of their legacy products into new tools and systems to benefits sales teams. In 2022, Efficio was rebranded as ShareBuilder CRM as part of that effort.
The products offered by ShareBuilders have assisted countless sales managers in grappling with the difficult decisions Don once faced in sales management. Linda, sons Austin and Justin, and the ShareBuilders team continue Don’s legacy of creating time-saving, analytical solutions and offering exceptional customer service.
