Hunter Malone
Entrepreneurship has been in my blood since childhood.
My first job in high school was outbound calling to set appointments for a home improvement company in Andover, MA. I also had a car detailing business on the side.
In college, I held multiple sales jobs to help pay my way to obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Merrimack College, and later, an MBA from Texas A&M University. Upon graduation, I further developed my selling and entrepreneurial skills in the oil exploration and automotive industries, winning several awards and recognition for top sales achievement.
In 1995, I had the vision to start an Internet technology company in Silicon Valley. I started the business as an automotive brokerage service called CarBuy.com - because I’m a car enthusiast and always wanted to own a franchised new car dealership.
However, my talent for generating online sales leads soon outstripped even my strong ability to broker cars - so I switched to selling the sales leads to companies - eventually developing the top producing wholesale sales lead platform in the US, serving many Fortune 500 companies, from AutoNation to VISA.
To keep up with growth, I set up a digital marketing agency to increase website traffic and speed up development times, which further increased business. Then I expanded my sales lead capture platforms into an Internet Selling System for auto dealerships, dealer associations and others in the industry, generating as much as $23 million in annual revenues.
The key to my success has always been creating and selling the best products for my clients. I’m always thinking outside the box, always ahead of the curve with new ideas - a formula that continues to work well for me.
