Sales speaker, sales author & sales training expert

Since 2001 I've been a sales author, sales seminar leader and motivational speaker... and I love it... with a passion. I'm lucky to have fantastic clients from all areas of Europe, the UK and the US. I even have a few in Australia. My sales training seminars have been a resounding success and I have spoken at many high-profile events including Successful Selling, the ISMM's national sales conference. But then I often say that if luck brings success, what I actually teach is luck.

This year I will run sales seminars on sales motivation, cold calling, face to face selling, sales negotiations, presenting and closing the deal for at least 10,000 salespeople in the UK alone. I have written two books, "Objections! Objections! Objections!" and "Motivate People and have 2 others due out soon. I have also recorded 6 audio programmes and 3 DVD programmes and we are about to launch a fantastic new project... watch this space.

My passion!

Perhaps my biggest passion however is my job. I love to help salespeople and business owners to get the results that they want, need and crave. My style is straight from the hip. I tell it like it is. No bullshit. No waffle. I've read and listened to thousands of hours of sales training and I have used my personal sales success and sales experiences and this learnt knowledge to create "The Ingham Sales System".

Do your team struggle to stay motivated?Do you prevaricate rather than cold call?Do you struggle to close your clients and gain commitment?Have you found your margins and profits being eroded by discounts and cut price competitors?Do you quake in your boots when you have to make a sales presentations?Do you hate rejections and client objections?

I can help. If you want more sales motivation, more proactivity, shorter lead times, more profitable sales and more sales success then you need to check out my sales books, audios, DVDs and seminars now.

Quick brag!

"Objections! Objections! Objections! increased our bottom line profit by a full £1 million in 12 months. Having read Objections! Objections! Objections! and trained it into the team we enjoyed a profit explosion! I would urge ANY serious Sales Executive to pick this book up and not put it down again, it delivered £1 million in the first 12 months.

Objections! Objections! Objections! changed our sales philosophy and our bottom line. It was simple to integrate into the business and within 12 months the extra £1 million profit made the small price of the book the best investment I had ever made!"
