Biography

Marcus Sheridan is a highly sought-after international keynote speaker known for his unique ability to excite, engage and motivate live audiences with his simple, yet powerful transformational business approach. Marcus has been dubbed a “Web Marketing Guru” by the New York Times and in 2017 Forbes named Marcus one of 20 “Speakers You Don’t Want to Miss.” Not one to be limited to the stage, Marcus is most often found walking through the crowd, calling audience members by name, and bringing them into his presentation.

As author of the content marketing guidebook, “They Ask, You Answer,” Marcus has not only inspired thousands to achieve their potential but has given them the tools they need to get there. Mashable rated his book the “#1 Marketing Book” to read in 2017. Forbes listed it as one of “11 Marketing Books Every CMO Should Read.” Marcus has been featured in the New York Times, Inc., The Globe and Mail, Content Marketing Institute, Social Media Examiner, and more. Marcus has spoken to companies such as Cisco, Bass Pro, Discover Card, Microsoft, eBay, McKesson, Cision, Whirlpool, Moe’s, Genpact, Love Funding Group and more. He has inspired thousands of audiences and helped millions of people from all over the world to achieve their own success with his “They Ask, You Answer” philosophy.

But Marcus’ story didn’t begin on the stage. It started with a business being created and run out of the back of a beat-up pickup truck. Marcus’s experience of saving his swimming pool company, River Pools and Spas, from the economic collapse of 2008 has been featured in multiple books, publications and university case studies around the world. From its humble beginnings as a three-man company, to one of the largest manufacturers and installers in the country, River Pool and Spas has the most visited pool website in the world, with over 750,000 hits a month.

Marcus’ experience as an entrepreneur and business owner, who had successfully saved his company, led him to opportunities to share his story and help others. What started as speaking from the stage quickly turned into a Sales and Marketing consulting agency, The Sales Lion. Using his marketing principles, Marcus and his team led clients step-by-step through the process of growing and even transforming their companies. In early 2018, The Sales Lion merged with IMPACT, establishing one of the most successful digital sales and marketing agencies in the country. Within his speaking company, Marcus Sheridan International, Inc., Marcus gives over 70 global keynotes annually where he inspires audiences in the areas of sales, marketing, leadership, and communication.

Endless Customers: A Life-Changing Framework to Earn More Trust, Attract More Qualified Customers, and Grow Your Business in the Digital Age

Based on his landmark book They Ask You Answer, that has sold over 100,000 copies around the world and was named a “Top 5 Marketing Book of All Time,” Endless Customers addresses two fundamental and prolific problems businesses (both B2B and B2C) are dealing with today:

  • How do we evolve our business model to fit the demands of a dramatically more informed, less patient, and more digital customer?
  • How can we establish our brand and business as the voice of trust in our space, while attracting enough customers and standing out above the noise?


With these important questions in mind, attendees in this program will learn:

  • How companies must evolve their sales and marketing departments (and their priorities) to meet the expectations of informed digital customers
  • The very specific types of content today’s buyers demand to see (and learn about) on a company’s website and social platforms – and how to effectively address these subjects as a business to gain their trust.
  • The role visual media will play on the buying process moving forward and how companies can effectively embrace this critical medium.
  • How to use effective content to revolutionize the sales process.
  • How customers are demanding more of a “seller-free” sales experience on the front end of the buying process.
  • The up-and-coming trend of “self-service” – and how companies can give customers more control while increasing leads and sales in the process

Ultimately, Endless Customers  focuses on “trust” and “change” and has proven to be life-changing for the 500+ audiences around the world that have received this very program.


A few important notes about the Endless Customers program:

  • As the most-requested program Marcus delivers, it can be delivered as a keynote presentation, as well as a half-day, deep-dive training.
  • Marcus uses customized industry examples for every program, so audiences will understand how this knowledge applies to their organizations.
Breakthrough Conversations: How Great Leaders Ask Better Questions, Connect Deeper, and Build an Extraordinary Culture of Growth

As the modern workplace continues to be reshaped every day and change seems to be the only constant, employees today seek more than mere job titles—they crave growth, fulfillment, and a resonant sense of purpose. They yearn not just to be employed, but to be truly empowered: to think critically, act autonomously, and forge a meaningful impact.

Leadership, too, has undergone a seismic shift. It’s evolved beyond the confines of merely building a “business” to crafting a genuine “team”—a symphony of deep, human-to-human connections. This is where you, the leader, turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

The message is clear: The bar has been raised. For everyone.

So what is the solution to this tremendous challenge? The answer rests on an often over-looked, under-appreciated skill: Better leadership communication. And in this case, as Marcus Sheridan puts it in this powerful and inspiring keynote: Breakthrough Conversations

The era of surface-level interactions and mediocre communication skills for leaders has passed. In its place rises the need for leaders to communicate in such a powerful way they are able to actively listen, skillfully ask the right questions every time, and inspire their team to greatness in the process. To make this possible, Marcus Sheridan, an expert in the field of communication and leadership, has developed his newest program anchored in a 4-pillar leadership communication framework—intuitive, actionable, and designed to revolutionize the way leaders engage, influence, and connect.

This keynote unfolds the secrets of communication, equipping leaders, managers, and team members with the tools to:

  • Elevate every interaction within the workplace, from one-on-ones to team huddles.
  • Instill a culture of self-solution and leadership growth within their teams.
  • Foster a deeply connected team environment, nurturing loyalty and a profound sense of belonging.
  • Engage with customers in a manner that cements trust and resolves concerns with unwavering precision.

Marcus Sheridan’s signature approach guarantees an immersive experience, transforming passive listening into active engagement, ensuring that each element of his program doesn’t just resonate but truly sticks, with clear, actionable takeaways for all attendees.

This program is ideal for those seeking to enhance their leadership acumen, influence, and communication prowess—fueling a robust company culture, amplified team performance, elevated sales, and fortified employee retention.


Participants will walk away with:

  • The confidence to transform any challenging interaction into a positive, trust-building moment.
  • The blueprint to cultivate a pervasive culture of leadership development.
  • The acumen to ask the kind of questions that cut through noise and lay bare the heart of the issue.
  • An enhanced awareness of conversation pitfalls and the skills to preemptively address them.
  • The ability to consistently catalyze “aha” moments that propel day-to-day communications to new heights.
  • A clear framework of leadership communication to apply instantaneously to both their personal and professional lives.

If your objective as an event organizer is to empower your audience with a transformative skill set that leads to authentic growth and connection—look no further. Breakthrough Conversations with Marcus Sheridan will make this possible.

Conversations that Close: How to create masterful sales conversations to connect deeper, gain trust, and win more sales than ever before.

The most effective sales professionals in the world tend to be the greatest communicators.

  • The ability to win every room they’re in by saying the right thing, showing up the right way, and instilling unbelievable confidence in those around them

But if we’re being honest, in today’s marketplace, how many sales professionals truly have mastery of each of these skills?

This is exactly why Conversations that Close  is such a powerful and important sales program.

Whether it’s a B2B or B2C sales audience, Marcus Sheridan has developed a program that is loaded with takeaways, actionable items, and real-life sales scenarios that will move your sales audience and inspire them to become the communicators they were meant to be.

Based on his upcoming book, Marcus will teach your audience four fundamental principles of transformative sales communication, and his interactive and funny style will make the experience incredibly educational, entertaining, and inspiring.

If you’re looking for a very unique sales keynote that will move your sales audience to re-commit to becoming the sales professionals they were meant to be, this is the program for you.
