Hire Smarter With Anne & Mark Lackey

Anne Lackey thrives on creating and managing successful businesses—and she’s been doing it alongside her husband and business partner, Mark Lackey, for over two decades. Together, they’ve founded and operated multiple ventures, generating over $20 million in revenue for their service-based companies in the last two years alone. Throughout their extensive career coaching hundreds of CEOs and executives, they identified three pervasive challenges: owner overwhelm, high staff turnover, and poor customer service/follow-up. Drawing on their own hands-on experience, Anne and Mark are adept at sharing actionable solutions to these problems in as little as 20–60 minutes, often helping organizations see measurable results in under 30 days. Their story began in 1999, when both were working traditional corporate jobs. They took a bold leap into real estate investing, purchasing four rental homes in their first month—properties they still own today. Fast-forward to the present, and their portfolio now includes nearly 40 residential and a dozen commercial investments. The Lackeys continually “level up” their holdings, all while running multiple thriving businesses. Over the years, they’ve coached and trained hundreds of investors and business owners across the U.S. and Canada. Their expertise in customer service, real estate, property management, sales, marketing, and entrepreneurship has earned them speaking engagements at local and national events, as well as interviews on radio shows and podcasts. They’ve authored seven books—three of which hit bestseller status within hours—and developed multiple training modules designed to help other entrepreneurs scale and succeed. Their most recent venture, HireSmart Virtual Employees, reflects their commitment to working smarter, not harder. This company provides top-notch virtual staffing solutions, enabling businesses to grow without overstretching their in-house resources.
