He lives to spark "aha" moments, helping people discover new ways of thinking to create positive change. Recognized by PR Week and Good Morning America for its innovative business practices, Wasabi Publicity helps clients expand their impact through top media.

How to Adopt a "Design Thinking" Strategy
Mark Donnolo
Founder and Managing Partner
"Few organizations understand how to set quotas that reflect real market opportunity and sales capacity with enough transparency to motivate the reps. For many organizations, setting effective quotas is elusive because they try to solve the quota problem with the same time-worn approaches or avoid the problem altogether. Rather than battling with who gets the number, solving the quota problem requires new thinking to break down the challenge into its components and apply a problem-solving approach that engages the organization."
Mark Donnolo can speak to a variety of business topics, including making the transition from a strictly analytical problem solving approach, to one that also involves practical business problem solving that can be applied to any business challenge including quota setting.
Mark Donnolo is the author of "Quotas! Design Thinking to Solve Your Biggest Sales Challenge." He is the founder and managing partner of SalesGlobe, a leading sales innovation firm that works with Global 1000 leaders on strategies to grow revenue. For over 25 years Mark has brought design thinking and innovative approaches to solve challenging sales growth issues. He previous books include "The Innovative Sale," "What Your CEO Needs to Know About Sales Compensation," and "Essential Account Planning." Mark holds an MBA from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a BFA from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
