ABOUT MIKE MURPHY

Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” - Michael Jordan, six-time NBA champion and five-time MVP.Figuring things out, developing solutions to challenging problems, and building relationships that are long-lasting is my calling card. Whether it was during my time playing college football, helping clients find their perfect home as a real estate agent, or working in the high-pressure and competitive arena of college and professional football recruiting, I have persevered and succeeded in driving results. I have increased my breadth and depth of responsibility and impact throughout my career, bringing me to executive positions in multibillion-dollar organizations. For every endeavor I have lead or participated in whether it be sports or real estate, I have brought my signature strengths and characteristics to the table. The majority of my career has been focused on developing recruiting strategies, identifying target clients, creating complex contracts and agreements, and building relationships to successfully close the deal. My areas of expertise include:** Developing Customer-Centric Solutions & Strategizing Client Needs** Developing Robust Business Relationships** Managing Broad Geographic Territories** Strategic Planning Development** New Business Development** Creating Product Marketing and Promotions** Lead Generation and Prospecting** Crafting and Negotiating High-Dollar Deal Structures** Sports Industry ExpertiseWhat underlies my business acumen and experience are three personal characteristics: grit, empathy, and being a self-starter. Much of what I owe my success to today started when I was a Division II college athlete. The combination of intrinsic personal characteristics and substantial expertise makes me ideally suited to drive value in sales management, business development, sales, and marketing positions.What is Hollis+Miller all about? “We empower our team, our clients, and communities through rewarding experiences and inspiring learning environments.” As a leading integrated architecture and design firm, we are devoted to designing future learning environments for all levels of education.
