I am an author of three books on selling, a keynote speaker on sales, marketing, and leadership, and in my later years, enjoy being known as a ‘sales philosopher.’

My passion is helping people land the job of their dreams and assisting salespeople in exceeding their goals and supporting their families. I enjoy leading experiential workshops on sales and leadership.

I began my career in the information technology industry in 1972 on the Help Desk for Xerox Computer Services. I was their top new business salesperson in 1975, managed the “Branch of the Year” in 1979, and was promoted to Manager of Field Sales in 1980. I founded my Solution Selling business in 1983.

I currently live on Orcas Island, Washington. I enjoy ‘awe walks’ in nature every day and you can email me directly at mtbent@gmail.com. I have a B.S. in Business Management and Marketing from California State Polytechnic University.
