About John P. Davis:

While the majority of his education is in economics and philosophy, his passion is software sales. This has become John’s focus over the past decade. He enjoys helping people set up business cases, build project teams, determine delivery methods and procure software that benefits their organization. Today, he is proud to run an Enterprise and Mid-Market sales team in Eastern Canada at OneStream Software.

Two years ago, John published a book titled, “How to Get a Sales Job.” The book serves as an affordable tool for anyone looking for a software sales job and is based on his own transition into sales from the world of finance. Mark Cuban provided a quote for the book and at one point, it was ranked #1 in Job Markets & Advice internationally.
