Marc Vayn, Founder, Chairman, and CMO of American Technologies Network (ATN) Corp, an innovative industry leader and manufacturer of night vision and thermal Smart Optics. 

 Marc started the tech optics company in 1995 and has transformed the brand into the leading high-performance digital optics company for civilians, law enforcement, and the military.  

Like almost every successful business, ATN started from a small space the size of a garage in Silicon Valley. The early years were difficult for Marc as the optics industry was not only a niche market, but it was challenging to attract attention to night vision commercially and not only to law enforcement and the military.

Doug C. Brown is the CEO of CEO Sales Strategies and a Sales Revenue and Profit Growth Expert. He is the creator of the Top 1% Academy, where he trains on how to sell to buyers, whether they be CEOs, business owners, or entrepreneurs, and how to be in the top 1% of sales earners doing so.

Doug has coached, consulted, and advised companies and thousands of people in business including Enterprise-Rent Car, Nationwide, Intuit, Proctor and Gamble, and CBS Television. Doug also served as an independent President of Sales and Training for Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes, and Russ Whitney, where he raised the close rate of the sales presenter teams by 157%, as well as increased sales for one product line by 4150% in his first six months of taking over, which resulted in tens of millions of dollars in extra sales over time.

His sales acquisition and sales revenue growth skills have helped him to:

• Sell music equipment to bands such as Aerosmith, Boston, and The Eagles.
• Become a top-selling sales representative for a 2-billion dollar company.
• Increase a company’s close rate by 862% and their revenue growth by 116% – all within four months.
• Generate over $700 million in sales for himself and his clients.
• Generate revenue of over $1 million yearly in his sales acquisition coaching/advising business.

Today, Doug helps people become better at influencing, persuading, and selling to others (regardless of what their product or service is) and at a level that they never thought was possible. He demonstrates what the tools, behaviors, and traits of the top 1% earners are and how to implement them into daily activities. He believes that most people have the personal power and potential to be at the top 1% of earners, but lack the tools and knowledge of how to achieve this. 

Just for the Listeners of the BGST Podcast , Doug C Brown is giving away his new book!

"The Art and Science of Being a Nonstop 1% Earner Through Selling." 

It is unexpectedly still in the process of finalization, so he would like to have listeners email regarding the e-Book at YouMatter@CEOSalesStrategies.com with the title "Doug Mitchell - 1% Earners eBook".
