About Phil
I know sales. I know business. And I know leadership.
(I know. It’s not cool to be so promotional, even on my own website, these days, but let’s face it: You need help. Expert help. So you’ve come to the right place. And you need to know all about who you’re partnering with.)
I’m a sales speaker, sales executive, and a sales expert. I’m a sales leader mentor, sales leadership podcaster, and a business coach. And I’ve been at it a long time.
I started by selling high-speed Internet when the Internet was using dial-up. I’ve been a stockbroker, a software salesman, a shoe salesman. I’ve led sales teams, IT teams and marketing teams. I was even a captain of my little league team many years ago.
I’ve written seven books, more than 3000 articles, and the Wall Street Journal, Daily Globe and Mail, Financial Times, Investor’s Business Daily, Inc. and many other publications have quoted me. I’m also proud to say I’ve earned three magazine covers: Speaker Magazine, Marketing Media and Money, and Social Selling Made Easy, and had my work featured in a variety of places you’d recognize – and many you wouldn’t.
None of this happened because I was the most talented. Or the most educated. Or because I had the most connections. All happened because I was the hardest working person in the room, willing to do the hard work, put in the long hours, and improve 1% or more every day.
People recognize me now for my personal brand of authentic connection and simplicity, delivered with a smile, some elbow grease and some hard-earned swagger. I’m low maintenance, easy to work with, and I will make anyone who hires me happy they did – along with the people they hired me for.
The Right Expertise
Let’s just put it all out on the table: There are a lot of sales experts out there, and they’ll all take your money with a smile. Sure, many of them could help you. But not a lot of sales consultants have my background.
Over my career, I’ve accumulated a special mix of experiences that when combined, make up something so unique – you won’t find it anywhere else. And that expertise will help you excel in the modern landscape.
