Jason Hartz is a former stand-up comedian who performed at the world famous Comedy Store for a decade. While hustling as a comic, he launched his sales career walking the floor of 24 Hour Fitness in West Hollywood, selling personal training to stay afloat.

When he exited the comedy stage for the last time, he opened four fitness studios and launched a sales consulting company — you know, the natural career progression for any comic. He now coaches sellers for Fortune 500 companies and trains both aspiring and established salespeople in the Hartz Method, which harnesses the power of performance for sales success.

A graduate of Emerson College, Jason lives with his wife and two gorgeous daughters in Massachusetts. He still sometimes tries to be funny.
