Mark believes that trust is the cornerstone to long-term success in selling. Gaining, keeping and even restoring trust is at the heart of his consulting, sales training, speaking and strategic planning services. Trust-centered relationships can help bring honor to the sales profession and tear down what Mark calls “the invisible wall of distrust.”

Mark serves as a Contributing Editor for OnPoint Magazine (a trade publication for the office products industry) and also writes for The Independent Dealer Magazine (in the same industry).

He teaches Sales Management and Strategies to MBA students as an Adjunct Professor at Loyola College in Maryland.
