One of his top skills is the ability to listen and even more so…is his ability to coach others to listen. I learned this from Dan. We’ve had 7000+ combined software demos between the two of us. Years of laughs, learning and success. Dan is also an exception student. When we first met, I was the tech guru and he was the sales guru. 14 years later we have both absorbed qualities of the other; Dan is great student. He absorbs complex concept and has the ability to rephrase for all to understand. As a partner, Dan has the qualities where you would select him if you had to go to war and have someone you can trust to take the hill with. These are phrases often thrown around, but not really thought through. I would select Dan based on his consistent actions, not words. As a partner, Dan looks out for the best interests of others, even when it is not in his best interest. Integrity. Lastly, Dan has nurtured a great ability to laugh at himself and in so, teaching others to lighten up, see the forest for the trees and enjoy the doing vs. only focusing on an end goal. Yeah, I stole this from Dan, but I think he left it out, exposed and uncovered. He wanted me to take it… and now I’m so much better for it.

to Arlington Health and Adventures in Medicine since 2011.  With a more strategic relationship, over the past two years, Danny has been instrumental in architecting the broader vision for Adventures in Medicine to a full solution digital platform to address challenges that Residents and Physicians have in accessing the Life and Career resources needed and that Hospitals & Employers have in securing and retaining the right physician talent.  Danny is a highly strategic thinker who not only understands 10,000-foot vision, but possesses the unique ability to lay out a detailed step by step plan to pursue the vision.  I’ve had the opportunity to listen to Dan engage with prospects and clients, at trade shows or on the phone, and his ability to guide them through a sales process with questions and engaged listening is nothing short of masterful.  Through each recommendation and snippet of advice, Danny continues to reinforce the importance of keeping things simply and providing value to the end user.

I have known Dan Hughes for more than 15 years and no one does it better.  Dan has always given value first and as our professional and personal relationship deepened over the ears, I don’t recall an encounter of any kind where Danny has not made a positive and lasting in my life.

What a rare man he is – his strategic sales competency, creative ideas, humility and commitment over time has fostered numerous tech breakthroughs and lifetime relationships. His attention to detail is second to none.

He listens carefully in all conversations, and months later has nearly total recall of the details shared. Additionally, Danny has always handled himself with the utmost integrity and highest ethics which is increasingly rare in business today.  This is not an act – this is who he is – it is his DNA.

My history and friendship with Dan is unique…In 2001, I mentored and coached Dan how to sell corporate training at a high level and in return, Dan taught me how to listen.

His success, and from that, his insight, comes from his innate ability to cut through the noise and “listen” to what is important. Add to that a person of extreme character, who truly cares, and you have a unique recipe for success. Don’t hesitate, buy this book.  You won’t be disappointed.

the greatest asset for a CEO to develop is the ability to listen well.  Listening is a learned skill and most be continuously developed.  Danny Hughes has taught us how to listen in a new way, a way that allows us to see things differently, with greater clarity that can build trust, deepen relationships and inspire people. Dan is a true mentor and master.

to market, distribution, and revenue growth strategies. He has a gift of being able to take the complex and distilling it into a simple, relatable approach that gets at the heart of what makes a product or service unique. Dan connects the dots to help bring the picture into focus.

and progressing partnerships. Danny understands the art of relationships and is completely genuine in his approach, recognizing the long-term benefits from investing time and energy early in the process. For Dan, this comes naturally and I am certain we could all learn from him.

He brings a wealth of cross-industry knowledge and is always current on how to leverage technology for small business success.

Under Dan’s successful guidance, a mutual client that needed to expand his contact list internationally in the financial services industry, was enabled to extend his contact reach from several thousand to over 600K.  As a result, the client was able to create a significant new revenue stream based on the successful communications with the new contacts.

Over the years, I’ve worked with Dan on multiple projects since our days at Hewlett-Packard and each time he presented amazingly creative and technically competent solutions and always look forward to our continued collaborations.

fine-tuning the messaging for positioning and qualifying clients, or examining my own personal and professional development goals and objectives, I am learning something new.  His ability to listen, asks the insightful questions that navigate our conversations and facilitate a mutual course of action is unparalleled.  Danny is also the great simplifier and is able to help the small business owner, with a successful practice, implement innovative client acquisition efforts with the best practices and technologies that help drive many of the technology companies he has launched or coached.  Our professional relationship has expanded to a deep personal friendship and I can’t wait for the launch of his new book which I know will be a must read for anyone wanting to building mutually rewarding relationships.
