In episode 580 of “Making Waves at C-Level” (formerly the “Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do” podcast) we talk sales with Mark Hunter, The Sales Hunter. Mark has just released a new book “A Mind for Sales” (which you can buy on Amazon).
In this interview Thom asks him about all the reasons sales matters to a company and how leaders can attract and retain great sales talent.
About Mark Hunter
Mark Hunter never intended to work in the sales industry but when the last name on his birth certificate read “Hunter,” a sales career was meant to be.
His journey in sales included multiple sales and leadership roles with three Fortune 500 companies. Those experiences provided the foundation for him to create the name, “The Sales Hunter” more than 20 years ago. That is when he began his lifestyle of consulting, speaking and writing about sales.
Today, Mark Hunter is humbled by the many faces he has meet as he travel the globe. His resumé says he specializes in business development, guiding organizations to find and retain high-quality prospects; however, it really boils down to relationships. He considers it an honor to connect with people each and every day.
Mark’s passion for helping, training, and leading others has given him the an opportunity to travel the globe and teach people how to find more success in sales. When not on the road, his home is in Omaha with his wife, Ann Marie.
