- The ‘Sales Accelerator’ best selling Motivational Author.
- Leading Conference Speaker on Sales & Marketing.
- Creator of the Xceptional Execution methodology – the secrets of how to build a successful sales campaign.
Kevin Kelly, is known otherwise as the ‘Sales Accelerator’. Kevin started selling from the age of six years, working in his family’s retail environment. After graduating with a degree in marketing, he consistently broke the companies he worked for sales’ records.
His feats had Kevin constantly head-hunted. 1990 had Kevin head up his own company, Advanced Marketing, a company dedicated to increasing sales of small and medium businesses as well as researching the areas of personal and business potential.
1996 saw Kevin write his bestseller “How? When You Don’t Know How” on motivation despite the personal challenges faced. The book was a success, teaching him a valuable lesson: ‘knowledge may give you enough reasons not to act but Do! it anyway and be prepared to end up in a place you recognise and accept as better than your starting point.’
Four more books have followed, including a graphic novel aimed at educating people in emotional intelligence. His latest offering, DO! The Pursuit of Xceptional Execution, highlights the success strategies employed by leaders of some of the most successful startups globally.
