Stuart Strolin currently consults within a large multinational company on sales strategies for large global opportunities - particularly in finance and insurance. He has 20 years experience in sales and business development and sold primarily to fortune 1000 companies. Prior to entering the commercial world, he was a military officer in systems engineering.

He combines ideas about sales process with the interpersonal behaviors found in buyer / seller relationships in his on-going research. His doctoral dissertation (at Case Western Reserve University) explores the use of interpersonal skills in the development of trust between buyer and seller - which social influence tactics work best in different sales contexts and which combinations may be helpful or harmful to sales outcomes.

Stuart lives in Montana with his wife and two dependent dogs.
