John “Small Mountain” Hill, founder of Adapted Growth and author of Selling From Scratch, has been selling in one form or another for over 20 years. He’s worked in numerous industries and sold everything from cheap perfume to costly medical devices. Even with all that experience, it wasn’t until he entered the small business/entrepreneurial realm in 2013 that he realized he had a lot of room for improvement. 

A voracious seeker of knowledge, John began learning everything he could about selling and communicating better. That led to his passion for helping others find their own levels of growth. He started his sales consulting and coaching company in 2018 and began co-hosting a podcast, Sales Throwdown, in 2019. 

In his coaching, John combines a motivational mindset with actionable, data-driven processes, a method he uses to coach more than eight sales teams internationally. He’s also written an upcoming sales improvement book with plans for more books already in development.

When he’s not helping others sell more efficiently and authentically, John enjoys spending time with his family, biking, martial arts, poker, and traveling.
