Speaker MARK STEVENS Subjects author, sales      Video Clip

 
Mark Stevens is a bestselling author, CEO of MSCO, a results-driven management and marketing firm, and a popular media commentator on a host of business matters including marketing, branding, management and sales.  Mr. Stevens is known for delivering business insights with blunt truths and unconventional wisdom.

In his latest book, "God Is A Salesman: Learn from the Master" (Hachette Book Group USA/Center Street; January 2008) Stevens advocates transforming the current culture of sales from transactional and superficial to one based on faith, trust and relationships.  Based on the principles of the world's great religions, Stevens delivers a life- and career-altering guide for anyone who sells anything-and everyone sells something.  Mark Stevens shook the marketing establishment with his Business Week best seller, "Your Marketing Sucks" (Random House/Crown Business, 2003), and redefined the rules of management with "Your Management Sucks" (Random House/Crown Business, 2006).  He is the author of 24 business-related books including the best sellers: "The Big Eight"; "King Icahn"; "Sudden Death: The Rise and Fall of EF Hutton" (a Wall Street Journal bestseller and Library Journal "Business Book of the Year"); and the enormously popular "Your Marketing Sucks."

Stevens' incisive understanding of critical business issues is geared toward achieving extraordinary growth and success for his clients.  His firm, MSCO represents a stellar roster of clients including Nike, Starwood, GE, Guardian Life, Intrawest, Estee Lauder, The MONY group, Environmental Systems Products and many others.  Through integrated marketing campaigns, MSCO focuses on achieving results for its clients instead of awards that serve egos.  Mark Stevens possesses an innovative and iconoclastic view of the business world, having served as a journalist and nationally syndicated columnist and having held management positions at several global corporations. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for Speed Emissions.

Mark Stevens is an in-demand speaker at organizations from Siemens, Virgin Air, Nike and Oracle to the American Chamber of Commerce Executives.  A frequent guest commentator, Stevens lends his insights and opinions on a wide variety of topics, from Tom Cruise's image (Fox News Channel/"The Big Story with John Gibson) and Kate Moss's personal crisis (The New York Post/Page Six), to ‘Why Successful Business People Don't Sleep' (The New York Times) and how to "Be a Better Boss in 2007" (Forbes.com). 

His wildly successful blog, "Unconventional Thinking" is in the top 1% of all published blogs (out of 95 million blogs).   He has just launched a new blog focused on sales called Invisible Selling, and is a regular guest blogger for Brandweek.com and the Digital PR blogger for PR News Online.
