Why Bryan

Credibility Built in the Field

Bryan isn't a motivational speaker who has read about selling. He has spent more than four decades doing it — from individual contributor to sales leader, from enterprise deal-maker to enablement architect. His second career as a professional voice-over actor and improvisation student in Los Angeles gave him the performance tools to make that experience land on stage.

The Method

Why the Three-Act System Works

The Act Like You Can Sell methodology is grounded in Aristotle's Rhetoric — the oldest and most battle-tested framework for human persuasion — and brought to life through the discipline of improvisational theatre. It is not a script. It is a system for performing well in unscripted moments.

Ethos

Credibility & Trust

Before a buyer hears your argument, they decide whether to trust you. Ethos is the foundation — how you establish authority, authenticity, and presence in the first moments of every conversation.

Logos

Logic & Evidence

Buyers need a rational case to justify an emotional decision. Logos is the architecture of your argument — how you structure insight, data, and proof in a way that builds inevitability toward yes.

Pathos

Emotional Resonance

People buy with emotion and justify with logic. Pathos is the human layer — how you connect your solution to what the buyer actually cares about, fears, and aspires to. It is the difference between a pitch and a conversation.

Keynote Topics

Built Around Your Audience

Act Like You Can Sell

45–90 minSales teams, SKOs, revenue conferences

The flagship keynote. Bryan unpacks the Three-Act System — Ethos, Logos, Pathos — and shows exactly how improvisational performance discipline transforms the way salespeople show up in unscripted conversations. Audiences leave with a clear, actionable framework they can apply the next morning.

Key Takeaway

A repeatable system for navigating any live sales conversation with presence and conviction.

The Willing Buyer Problem

30–60 minSales leadership, revenue operations, C-suite

Most sales training focuses on technique. Bryan's research — drawn from the book manuscript — reveals that the real gap isn't skill, it's enabling the buyer who already wants to say yes. This session reframes the entire sales conversation around buyer psychology and Aristotle's persuasion principles.

Key Takeaway

A new mental model for understanding why deals stall and how to unstick them.

Improv for Sales Leaders

60–120 minSales managers, team leads, enablement professionals

An interactive session that takes sales leaders through the core principles of improvisational theatre — 'yes, and', active listening, in-the-moment presence — and maps each one directly onto the coaching conversations they have every day. Practical, energetic, and immediately applicable.

Key Takeaway

A new coaching language built on performance technique, not management theory.

Custom Keynote

TailoredAny audience

Bryan works with event organisers to build a bespoke keynote around your theme, industry, and audience. Every element — stories, frameworks, exercises — is drawn from real sales experience and calibrated to your specific context.

Key Takeaway
