Sales & Motivational Speaker
Sales & Motivational Speaking - A personal note from Bruce King…
“The bad news, if you choose to call it that, is I’ve never sailed across any large stretch of water single handed, or even with a crew. I’ve never climbed up or fallen off Mount Everest or Kilimanjaro and I’ve never won or lost playing for my country in any major sporting event, or even a minor one. And I’m definitely not a stand up comedian! So if that’s what you are looking for, it’s probably best you skip this page.
On the other hand, when I was a sales director, hiring speakers for a conference for my salespeople and the support teams, I never really thought any of those skills or achievements were relevant anyway. My only real claim to fame – what I know I do so well because people tell me I do (see testimonials below) is to show salespeople and business people involved in the sales process, many simple yet deadly effective strategies which help them to increase their confidence, motivation, self belief and selling skills massively.
The warm glow of inspiration and motivation generated in the audience usually lasts a lot longer than twenty minutes after I go offstage, and is often permanent. And they do get to have an occasional chuckle too!”
Conference Speaking That Delivers Results - In Person and Virtually Online
Bruce King speaks at conferences around the world and can deliver anything from an inspiring, content-rich twenty-minute keynote to an entire one-day event. As an example of the latter, his one-day conference at the Institute of Directors in London was their best selling conference for twenty-one consecutive years.
Conferences are expensive to put on and it’s Bruce’s view that there is no point in organising one just for the sake of it. A conference should deliver results and a return on investment. Here is what Bruce can do for you to ensure your conference is a great success and delivers results.
The Pre-briefing
Explain to Bruce the precise aims of your conference and he will create a presentation tailored to your company’s product or services and to achieve those aims.
In addition, and to get the audience excited and looking forward to the event, if required he can help you prepare some pre-event material relating to his presentation.
Post-event

Thanks so much for your three presentations at The Goldsmiths annual conference and for being as brilliant - and inspirational - as ever!

Bestsellers, Sweden
Thank you so much for your motivational and inspiring presentation in Oslo, we received exclusively positive feedback from our clients. We would recommend you to anyone who wants results from a professional speaker.
Publicom, Norway
Having worked personally with Bruce on several occasions, witnessing how he can inspire a group of business owners to sit up, take notice and then get into action on their sales strategy I can tell you he is awesome and a master of his trade. Bruce's delivery is highly focused funny and dynamically charged. His knowledge and experience second to none. With 25 years corporate experience in sales myself, I have seen just about every sales guru and keynote in the business. Bruce is the cream of the cream. If you want to really grow your revenue then call Bruce and let him show you how! Alternatively you always can just sit and wait for the clients to find you! May take a while though. I know what I would do.
Jon Boys - Lyoness UK Ltd
We invited Bruce to speak at our annual global sales kickoff. We were looking not so much for a motivational speaker, more for someone who would challenge the sales executives to take a different approach to achieving their targets. Bruce insisted on a thorough briefing about the company and the challenges it was facing and was in turn asked by us to ensure his presentation content and style of delivery would be consistent with the needs of an international and therefore culturally diverse audience. The feedback received was that Bruce engaged them both with his material and rather unexpected style of delivery. Much of his content necessarily reminded them not only of some of the fundamentals of selling which over time it appears people forget but also of mind techniques such as visualisation and positive reinforcement which was new to the majority.

Testimonials from Conference Delegates
I first met Bruce when he ran a Sales Masterclass at the Institute of Directors in London. I have been in sales and management for many years but the course that Bruce ran was really inspirational and thought provoking. Running a large team of key account, regional, field sales and classified sales people for a large regional multimedia group, when the time came to launch a new sales approach to the team, the first person I called was Bruce. He worked hard with me to understand the nuances of our business and offered lots of useful advice – in person, by phone and by Skype! On the launch day, Bruce delivered a fantastic 90 minute motivational and educational presentation to the assembled team and the wider business. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive with over 88% of delegates rating his presentation as either excellent or very good! I know that the investment in Bruce’s expertise and knowledge will be worth it, we’re already seeing results and people are quoting part of his presentation to each other ! I would wholeheartedly recommend him to help you in driving high performance from your sales team.
Neil Webster - Sales Director, KM Media Group
‘I attended your conference at the IOD with four of my sales team. Every one of these has more than doubled their sales within three months. That’s what I call a result. Many thanks.
Lorraine Farmer
Best sales training workshop I have ever attended in my entire 26 year career. Thank you so much Bruce.
David Price
In the week or so since your conference I have managed to increase my number of sales calls by asking for referrals at the initial point of contact. I have also visualised and imagined two of my prospects who had appeared to have gone cold contacting me to make an order – and they have!
Colin Shove - Salon Sales Solutions Ltd
How to Double your Sales was an inspiring combination of high quality sales techniques and powerful alternative angles. I have already put several of Bruce’s ideas into practice and found them powerful allies in the pursuit of greater success.
Peter Lane - Sussex Innovation Centre
I was mightily impressed with your seminar at the IoD recently and am working with the sales team that accompanied me to integrate everything into our business
Peter Dowell - DELTA NEU Limited
I attended one of your courses around five months ago and shortly after the course I set myself four personal objectives over a three year period. I also adopted several other techniques from the course and also go through the course CD a few times per week. Thought you might like to know that I achieved goal number one last week! Unbelievable but true.
Grant Taylor
I really found the workshop last week you ran for the IOD very helpful - sales are heading in the right direction already toward double!
Mark Hatcliffe Head of Customer Service - Barclays
I just wanted to thank you for an extremely informative and interesting day. I came to your seminar with an open mind and left with so much more. Not only has the information you passed on instantly helped me within my sales techniques, it has also help me identify some personal priorities that I need to address before I become successful and deliver over and above my set targets within our business. Inspirational may be a statement but I do have a vision where I see myself but until yesterday did not really know how I was going to achieve it. I will let you know when I do!!
Kevin Laughton New Business Development Director - Watt Gilchrist
I am more motivated than I have been in months and have seen a dramatic increase in sales.
Lisa Alexander - GMX Communications
Thank you very much for such an empowering session with you at the IoD yesterday. The boost of confidence and positive energy was what we all needed. I find your seminar truly inspiring and that is why I came to listen to you one more time. Also the way you perform and your strong attitude is something to learn from Bruce and is the key to success too. No wonder you've got so many fans.
Jo Kozicki - Managing Director Von Meissen Ltd
I found your double your sales in 6 weeks very inspirational and putting some of it into practice since Wednesday I have brought in 15 % of my yearly target since your course (that’s in 2 days!) so thank you.
Martin Hembling Swiftclean Ltd
I found the seminar informative, but mainly very inspiring. I guess it is not what you know but what you DO that makes the difference, and the seminar made be re-address knowledge I already have and has given me a kick up the backside to focus on what really matters.
Malene van Hauen - Managing Director Chrisanne Ltd
Bruce taught us an invaluable amount about ourselves and our untapped potential. He gave us the tools to effectively set and achieve our goals.
Francis West and Colin Phipps, Co-directors The Millionaires Business Club
I’m writing this email to you during normal working hours, but before you question why I would do this when I could be speaking to my clients, I just want reassure you that I’ve evaluated your ISWAT (time management technique) and have concluded that any ongoing contact with you increases my sales. I find your email updates inspirational and as powerful as any of the techniques demonstrated either by you in person or in your books. I look forward to each one and gain positive benefit with each new message.
David Vincent, Managing Director Qube Office Interiors Limited
Dear Bruce, many thanks for your fabulous conference at the IoD last week. The last sales training of any official kind that I attended was some twenty four years ago so it was with a mixed measure of anticipation and trepidation that I started the day with. I found your presentations both ‘easy on the ear’ and interesting and was reassured to discover that some of the ground that you covered I already put into practice, albeit some of it unconsciously until you highlighted it in your presentations. I left the conference with renewed self confidence and with some great ideas, elements of which have already been put into practice in both telephone conversations and yesterday in face to face meetings. I would recommend everyone involved in sales, young and not so young alike to attend this conference and will certainly look forward to learning of any further conferences that you plan to do.
