Mahan Khalsa founded Ninety Five 5 with Randy Illig and Craig Christensen because he is dedicated to helping people get significantly better at sales. Mahan is instrumental in pushing the envelope on the mindsets, skillsets and toolsets that make getting better both real and never ending, both for individuals and organizations.
Mahan is co-author of Let's Get Real or Let's Not Play: Transforming the Buyer/Seller Relationship. He created the body of work, Helping Clients Succeed, employed by many of the world's top companies and taught in more than 40 countries and 10 languages. Mahan has worked directly with clients to help create and capture billions of dollars of value — and to do so in ways that lead to greater trust, better relationships and increased future value.
Mahan has three key beliefs that drive his passion — personally, and with colleagues and clients. The first, garnered from his extensive research in the science of expert performance, is that everything you need to know to be great at sales is learnable — you just have to be willing. Second, the amount you can learn and the degree to which you can improve is infinite. Third, what you learn to be great at sales contributes immensely to who you want to be as a human being.
Mahan has an honors degree in Economics from U.C.L.A. and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. He and his wife Annika split their time between Kona, Hawaii and Boulder, Colorado.
