Whether you're an entrepreneur or early sales hire trying to build a company from scratch, or a sales rep or manager at a large corporation trying to compete, this book is for you.
Max Altschuler has been an entrepreneur his whole life and learned sales at an early age from his father, David, who was a pioneering Certified Financial Planner.
His entrepreneurial journey led him to San Francisco to work for an online education company called Udemy, in which he was the first sales hire and built the process that launched the Instructor side of the marketplace. Udemy recently raised a $32 million dollar series C round of funding with a valuation in the hundreds of millions.
After Udemy, Max helped build the AttorneyFee marketplace as the Vice President of Business Development and departed after their acquisition by LegalZoom.
He started Sales Hacker, Inc. to help other startups with fewer resources to sell their products and services to large corporations. This book is a product of the community and we're excited to see the growth and innovation that comes out of it.
