In this new era of sales and marketing, success hinges on building meaningful relationships with prospects and buyers. We believe in leveraging the power of modern strategies, techniques, and technologies to foster these connections. This approach, often referred to as Modern Selling, encompasses leveraging digital and social channels to create demand and cultivate strong relationships with prospects, partners, and customers.

MMS #106 - Lead with Your Brand: Mark Hunter’s Guide to Sales and Leadership Success
In this episode of Mastering Modern Selling, we had the pleasure of hosting Mark Hunter for the second time, and he did not disappoint.
Mark, also known as "The Sales Hunter," shared his journey from struggling salesperson to a world-class sales coach, revealing powerful lessons that can redefine how you approach your prospects and close deals.
- Sales Mindset is Everything:
Mark emphasizes that your mindset going into a sales call determines your outcome.
A positive, customer-focused attitude allows you to genuinely engage and listen, leading to better results.
- Selling For People, Not To People:
Mark learned the hard way that selling isn’t about bulldozing through the customer.
Instead, it's about understanding, serving, and building meaningful relationships that offer real solutions. Always focus on the customer’s needs.
- Stop Selling the Product, Start Solving Problems:
The right sales mindset moves away from focusing on the product itself and instead emphasizes understanding the client's real issues.
Mark says, “Customers don’t want to buy, they want a solution." Shift your focus to discover and solve your client's problems, not just to push your product.
- The Power of Personalization:
Building rapport and demonstrating you know your prospect can be a game changer.
Mark shared how referencing personal insights (like the Pac-12 college sports league in a voicemail) can significantly boost response rates. It’s about showing you’re human, that you care.
- Quality Over Quantity in Prospecting:
Mark advises slowing down to move fast—doing deep research and reaching out thoughtfully will break through the noise.
He shared an example of a prospect he pursued with 46 touches over 18 months before finally closing.
Consistent, targeted follow-up beats high-volume, generic outreach every time.
Mark Hunter's insights remind us that successful selling isn’t just about techniques—it’s about the mindset, persistence, and genuine curiosity.
Crafting solutions for your clients and taking time to understand their unique needs not only closes deals but also builds lasting relationships.
Don't miss out—your next big idea could be just one episode away!
