I am looking for sales manager.

Why is Marc Cranney the best sales manager that Ben Horowitz has ever met?

  • In Ben's post titled "Through the Looking Glass:  Hiring Sales People", he references A16Z Partner and colleague, Marc Cranney, as the best sales manager he has ever met.  What makes Marc so exceptional as a manager of top sales producers?

  • Answer:

    In The Hard Thing About Hard Things Ben describes why he hired Cranney and his huge respect the man. Check out the book for more detail but here are a couple of quotes: "I later realized that for me to ask Mark Cranney to describe the proper way to train sales reps was like a laymen asking Isaac Newton to explain the laws of physics. Where to begin?" "...he mastered sales to a level that far exceeds anybody that I have ever known"
