Paul McCabe, 75, on July 20, following a battle with pancreatic cancer. A 35-year broadcast sales veteran, McCabe began his career in radio reporting to Patrick Grierson at Standard Broadcast Sales (SBS) in the early 1980s. From there, he joined Standard Broadcasting, selling the former CKFM-FM Toronto as a retail sales rep. A top performer, McCabe went on to become General Manager of a newly-created in-house national sales division in 1991, with a focus on business development for both CKFM-FM and Newstalk CFRB 1010. By 1995, he rose to the position of Vice President of Sales for Integrated Media Sales, as a result of the merger of Paul Mulvihill Sales and Standard Broadcasting. In spring 1996, he made the decision to follow his entrepreneurial calling and created his own sales training business, Compass Performance Strategies, focusing on sales, customer service, and leadership. McCabe also authored “Feed the Good Dog: Making the Choice to Succeed” on the key ingredients of a purposeful life.
