About The Markin Method
Dan Markin started Markin in 2011 with a simple mission: to help business leaders, executives, and sales professionals achieve success by improving their ability to influence outcomes.
​
Dan believes that influence is not something you use; it is something you become.
​
Influence is a commitment to live and lead with credibility, reliability, and service — and to understand that true influence is never about control, persuasion tricks, or personal gain. It’s about becoming someone other people trust, respect, and willingly follow because you consistently put their needs ahead of your own and help them solve what matters most to them.
​
Dan developed The Markin Method to help professionals learn to harness the power of influence to achieve better results in sales and in leadership.
