South County Dublin

Specialisms
Coaching · Unique Value Positioning · Exit Preparation · Board Facilitation · Consumer Psychology · Public Speaking

Experience and background

Described as “a simply remarkable thinker with a rare ability to inspire,” Peter Turley shows organisations how to investigate, evaluate and rethink their ideas of success, in the context of the modern business environment.

From his earliest career, Peter discovered a knack for making processes better, reinventing the wheel to make a greater impact, and pushing results.

He knows that what truly drives success and increases profits is not about mastering the ‘marketing buzzwords of the week, but how well you genuinely –

and authentically – connect with people, making it easy for them to buy your product or service.

In his game-changing talks, Peter constantly surprises and captivates his audience by showing them how to catch the ‘purple goldfish’ – that elusive idea of something out of the ordinary that gets you noticed, remembered, and loved. His passion for better thinking creates high-energy presentations that make a fear of creative thinking into must-do excitement.

Founder of SalesTalk.ie, The PIVOT-20 PROGRESSION PLAN, the CMI Thinking System, Peter Turley now brings a new interpretation to the RESULTS DRIVEN SALES LEADERSHIP ® programme developed by Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author and Founder of The Alternative Board ® Allen E. Fishman.

RESULTS DRIVEN SALES LEADERSHIP is a 10-module programme for sales team leaders/directors/founders. It is the definitive playbook for leading an Effective Sales Team that delivers great results consistently. Apply now >>
