Here’s a guy who’s hard core when it comes to soft selling.Meet Rok Hrastnik, International Web Director for Direct TV Goliath, Studio Moderna (think infomercial / home shopping company Guthy Renker of Eastern Europe).  One day Rok got tired of watching his Web sales just puttering along or — for some brands — dwindling due to competitors intercepting his customers (while on way to making purchase) using search ads.

His response was nothing short of becoming a full fledged publisher to the masses — people who he knew wouldn’t be customers in near term.  His bet paid off — as they began to BUY when he mixed  direct calls to action into his content marketing fold.

Rok is a guy who comes from a world where selling takes 30 minutes.  Think about that for a minute.  Talk about opportunities for customers to tune out!  Rok’s industry (informercials) has mastered the TV-delivered, content-focused sale.  Period.  Now Rok and his crew are mastering the Web — like no other direct tv company I’ve found here States-side.  Listen and learn from Rok, a true innovator and entertainer!

In 1999, I co-founded what became the Google Affiliate Network and Performics Inc. where I helped secure 2 rounds of funding and built the sales team. I've been selling for over 2 decades.

After this stint, I returned to what was then Molander & Associates Inc. In recent years we re-branded to Communications Edge Inc., a member-driven laboratory of sorts. We study, invent and test better ways to communicate -- specializing in serving sales and marketing professionals.

I'm a coach and creator of the Spark Selling™ communication methodology—a curiosity-driven way to start and advance conversations. When I'm not working you'll find me hiking, fishing, gardening and investing time in my family.
