How do you protect a culture while a company grows fast? Mike Huffaker, Chief Revenue Officer at Planet DDS, joins Julieanne O’Connor and Michael Keeter to share a career that went from a paper route to selling high-end men’s shoes, and then to tech sales at 34, when he took about a 75% pay cut.
Mike Huffaker shares the principles behind his revenue team: success is not a zero-sum game, you sell with integrity, and toxic behavior is never worth the revenue. He also talks about setting honest expectations before the sale and why Planet DDS doesn’t use non-competes. The conversation also gets personal, from boundaries with family and golf to the trait he credits most for his success: curiosity.
