Larry Hunt

Vice President and Practice Leader

Read Bio

Larry’s RCDA experience began in 2014, when he ran a successful pilot program with DIRECTV that expanded RCDA’s support to ten consultants and helped increase DIRECTV’s sales with its vendor partner, CenturyLink. He then ran a pilot for DIRECTV’s outbound division, which helped improve call flow and increase sales per hour for their Starz campaign.

After that, Larry and another RCDA consultant began working with vendor partner Alorica to help improve bundle percentage for their direct sales. Alorica’s bundle percentage started at 24%, grew to 28.75% a month later, and reached 34% the month after that.

He went on to achieve significant gains supporting a gap closure initiative for CenturyLink, and now plays a key role in our ongoing work for AT&T. Larry also provides support for RCDA’s day-to-day operations.

Larry has more than 20 years of experience in training and coaching. His work in the communications and financial services sectors has given him insight into improving sales, management, and operational strategies. He believes in side-by-side training and development, and he uses his talents to transfer skills to others.

He’s an effective communicator who helps build and maintain constructive relationships with executives, clients, and vendors. Larry helps others focus on simple things that can really make a difference. He feels that when people pay attention to the simple things, it can change their lives
