Bio
John Barrows is the practitioner's practitioner of B2B sales. Where other methodologists operate at the strategic or theoretical level, Barrows works at the execution layer, providing specific techniques, templates, and processes that reps can deploy in their next call or email. His training has been adopted by many of the most recognizable SaaS companies in the world, and his influence is felt most strongly in the daily behavior of individual sellers rather than in organizational design or strategic frameworks.
