I'm Not Selling You Anything

Mark Cranney


Listen Later

In his book, The Hard Thing About Hard Things, Ben Horowitz credited the hiring of Mark Cranney to a line from the great Colin Powell: “You must hire for strength, not for lack of weakness.” … and I think I see what he meant.

Back in June I asked Adam Aarons who I should interview next and without hesitation he grinned and said: Mark Cranney. Not knowing any better I went ahead and just… texted him. You’d be surprised what you get if you’re not afraid to ask. 

From farming in Southern Idaho to hands-on operator at some of the most successful companies in technology, Mark has seen what it takes to achieve outsized success. It is my immense pleasure to bring you my conversation with this legend of the sales game; and you better listen up good because as it turns out he doesn’t do many of these. Lucky me means lucky you!
