Employee Spotlight: Bill Funcheon

April 17, 2026 2:25 pm

Regional Director of Sales Bill Funcheon has a proven track record of success in his first six months with Russell Cellular. In January, Verizon’s Atlantic North market recognized his team, among other RC teams in the market, as the January agent of the month.

spotlight - bf26Bill knows success comes from within. He begins each workday the previous night by looking over assessments of his team’s performance, which helps him decide which store he will visit the following morning.

There is a variety in Bill’s field work, from conflict mediation to showering deserving stores with praise to hiring new District Sales Managers. Bill’s self-motivation is what propels him through the day, and RC encourages this, helping him grow after he left a different company. “Self-motivation is being a part of a company like RC,” he says. “The history, the family ownership, the family mindset – when I chose what my next job was going to be back in September, that was super important to me.”

He chooses to instill these same values in his team. “Folks see potential in you, and they think you can do more; they want you to do more,” he says. “You want to be in an environment where, constructively, you can be challenged and you can grow. All those are true here at Russell.”
