The Speaker

The top speakers bring a sense of authenticity to their presentation. This is what generates instant rapport between speaker and audience. When Gerry Shaltz speaks, you know that he’s lived every moment of the stories he shares. His presence transcends the platform.

Gerry’s forty-years of selling experience have taken him to heights that few will achieve. He is the author of the ground breaking book, “THE DNA OF SELLING, What You Won’t Learn in Business School”. A member of the National Speakers Association, his favorite topics are, “The Critical Importance of First Impressions” and “The Habit Cocoon”, compelling themes that span the entire landscape of business and social interaction.

Gerry reveals the three secrets that lifted his career beyond his imagination. He has a unique gift for transferring skills that work to quickly gain the competitive “edge”. His presentation provokes critical thinking and introspection. Your audience will leave with a powerful call to action.

As President and founder of Gerry Shaltz & Associates, Gerry's transformational content and endearing teaching style have helped eager audiences understand and execute the real-world nuts and bolts of modern sales strategy.

Gerry's background as a character actor in the Hollywood studio system helped him craft his communication skills. His ability to influence the decision making process is a direct result of good training and on going, practical application. He passes those transferable skills and techniques on for the benefit of sales and marketing professionals from Silicon Valley to halls of academia.

"I learned my craft in the trenches and by shadowing top sales people in a variety of industries." He is quick to point out the mistakes many people make by investing in teaching materials and sales courses created by "those who have never done what you are trying to learn."

"Most business school full professors have never been in business. Most business schools don't teach selling." Gerry has received standing ovations for addressing graduating MBA's and other groups from universities such as UCLA and Stanford. He knows what it takes to be an effective sales leader and the fundamental traits which those champions have in common.

Gerry's consulting expertise and vision has fostered a demand for his guidance as a speaker, trainer and mentor in the business community, and on platforms and classrooms across the United States. It has been said that his delivery is an exquisite blend of inspiration, humor, and straight talk. He routinely supports and promotes local entrepreneurial ventures by serving as an active board member and advisor for several corporate and charitable organizations.

Gerry lives in the rugged mountains of Northern California with his wife of 31 years, as well as 5 rescued dogs, 1 Molucan Cockatoo, and a giant 80-year old tortoise named Chester.

What People are Saying About Gerry Shaltz

"Gerry translates nearly all of his years of experience into tips and ideas that are applicable to all levels of one's career...He get's you halfway up the hill before you make a single call."

"I can only imagine how difficult it was to cram a lifetime of learning into two hours. Your performance was nothing short of remarkable. The applause you received was better than most professors get after teaching an entrie quarter of classes. People are still talking about it. In fact, I retold the 'Librarian' joke earlier today to give people a taste of what they missed and to magnify their fear of loss at not participating in future sales modules. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!"
