MEET OUR FOUNDER
Marla Mattenson
Welcome to our Community!

My vision is to provide you with proven resources and insights that help you instantly build trusting relationships with your ideal clients.

Marla Mattenson, Founder of The Ethical Sales Institute and the visionary behind the Ethical Sales Process, is a trailblazer in transforming sales paradigms from transactional to relational for professionals who prioritize the integrity and fulfillment of their services.

With a rich background that spans neuroscience, mathematics, and relationship-based sales, Marla is at the forefront of championing a human-centered, consent-based approach to sales. This revolutionary method is especially crucial for professionals like attorneys, financial advisors, coaches, and consultants, for whom traditional sales tactics fail to resonate with their values and the nuanced nature of their work.

Throughout a distinguished 25+ year career, Mattenson has profoundly impacted a wide range of business owners and high-profile clients, including Academy Award-winning figures, NBA coaches, Grammy Award-winning artists, and millionaire entrepreneurs. Her innovative strategies and insights continue to redefine sales and relationship methodologies, garnering international acclaim. 

Mattenson is a sought-after speaker and expert in the fields of sales, business, and love.  She has been featured across platforms such as The New York Times, Forbes, Oprah, Entrepreneur, NBC, CBS and more.

Through The Ethical Sales Institute, she continues to inspire and equip professionals with the tools to thrive in an evolving marketplace defined by integrity, care, respect and genuine connections.
