Author, Podcaster, Speaker

I specialize in teaching sales teams how to maximize the value and power of their selling. I provide sales organizations with powerful sales strategies that move customers to make fast and favorable decisions.

I coach and advise CEOs, entrepreneurs and sales managers to plan and execute their sales attack with optimized and responsive sales processes that improve their sales performance by empowering their customers to accelerate their decision cycles. For busy customers today, having the ability to get the information they require to make informed decisions quickly and at a low-cost is essential to their bottom line.

These strategies and processes protect and preserve profit margins by creating tangible sales differentiation that enables the seller to compete and win new orders on the basis of something other than price.

I have integrated 30+ years of vast sales experience with 30+ years of extensive study of sales processes and customer decision-making to provide companies with unexpected insights into their sales processes, as well as their customer’s buying process.  My objective is to help sellers succeed by making every sales interaction count with powerful and practical selling processes that can effectively be used by top performers as well as aspiring sales superstars.

I’ve dedicated my career to teaching sellers how to master their craft; to achieve their goals in life. And in sales.

I do this differently than most. 

The bulk of the content for sellers you’ll read here on LinkedIn is focused on “training humans to act like salespeople.” 

I flip the script. Nearly everything you’ll learn from me is focused on “teaching sellers to be more human.” 

Why do you, as a seller, need to be more human?

Because it’s how your buyers experience you as a human that has the biggest influence on their decision to buy from you. (The Challenge Sales says 53% of the buying is based on the buyer’s experience with the individual seller; that means you. Not the product you sell.)

That’s the most single important truth I've learned over decades of sales and leadership positions. I learned it in the trenches winning the better part of a billion dollars in orders selling on six continents to some of the world's largest enterprises. 

People buy from people. And the necessity to differentiate yourself as a human seller in the minds of your buyers is becoming even more important as more automation and AI seeps into selling.

If you follow my posts here on LinkedIn, read one of my best-selling books (Sell Without Selling Out) or listen to the more than 1,100 episodes of my podcast (Sales Enablement with Andy Paul), you’ll see that I focus on the following topics:

- Winning more with Human-centered selling 
- Why Buyers Buy
- Creating Winning Buying Experiences
- Improving Win Rates
- Winning Big Deals
- Start-up Selling

The Sales Coach for Consultants | Author - Feel Good About Selling | Founder, Consulting Academy

As a consultant you have an incredible skill set, but selling may not be your favorite thing. Perhaps you struggle to win new clients, or don't know how to attract them to begin with. This is frustrating. 

To make matters worse, you're likely inundated with promises from "gurus" filled with questionable sales tactics, spammy approaches, and outright deception. 

Building a sustainable consulting practice and fostering a trustworthy reputation demands a different selling approach.

Rather than off-putting tactics, effective sales boils down to four essential elements: a crystal-clear message, the right offer, your ideal audience, and a reliable system for consistent execution. 

This is what drives real growth, long-term for consultants.
