Adapted Growth Helps
Salespeople Be Their Best
The world needs salespeople; it’s as simple as that.
However, as much as we need them, salespeople are rarely trusted, not always supported, and often minimally trained.
John “Small Mountain” Hill wants to change that.
Through Adapted Growth, John helps salespeople, founders, and entrepreneurs build processes and improve their selling abilities, leading to more clients and revenue. He utilizes his knowledge of personality types, communication styles, and vast sales experience to make selling easier and more accessible for anybody willing to do the work.
Selling shouldn’t be complicated, and salespeople don’t have to struggle alone.
As a sales consultant and coach, John can guide and support you and your team by showing you how to sell with empathy, authenticity, and trust. With time and practice, you’ll bring in more qualified clients, earn more revenue, and build a happier, healthier business.
John "Small Mountain" Hill's Foundational Beliefs for
Sales Consulting and Coaching
- Great selling requires an open mindset, superior communication skills, and a willingness to improve. No manipulation tactics needed!
- Quality > Quantity — Most businesses only thrive with a solid client base of people who:
- fit the target market,
- are aligned with your values and policies,
- and have needs and expectations that you are comfortably able to meet.
- Salespeople can be fundamental to the company’s development when they can ask the right questions and follow a repeatable process.
- True growth and improvement, both of the company and its people, only happen when you track and share the right metrics with the whole team.
Everybody Starts Somewhere
“After years of selling in different industries, I thought I knew what I was doing. I consistently hit quota and made enough money to keep my family comfortable.
But when I eventually moved into medical equipment sales, I struggled like never before. I had no idea how different B2B was from B2C. Prior to this job, I’d never dealt with gatekeepers or had to bring lunches to offices just to get my foot in the door (and often, nothing more).
I quickly realized that I didn’t know as much as I thought.
Eventually, a close friend offered me a lifeline: a new job, a personality assessment, and a sales coach.
And that’s when things changed for me.
While some people find selling easy, many others (like myself) don’t come by it as naturally. But anybody, and I do mean anybody, can find a way to make it work for them.
That’s what I do at Adapted Growth; I figure out what a person needs to make selling easy and approachable for them. Once they can look at things differently, their confidence grows—and success follows.”
