John Livesay
Tell Stories Win Sales
John Livesay, also known as The Pitch Whisperer, is a sales keynote speaker who helps companies’ sales teams transform mundane case studies into compelling case stories to win more new business. Drawing from his award-winning career at Condé Nast, John shares the lessons he learned that turn sales teams into revenue rockstars. His TEDx talk, “Be The Lifeguard of Your Own Life”, has garnered over 1,000,000 views.
Clients love working with John not only because of his engaging talks but also due to his ongoing support afterward, which includes helping them implement the storytelling skills from his best-selling book, Better Selling Through Storytelling, and his online course, Revenue Rockstar Mastery.
His book, The Sale Is in the Tale, is a business fable set in Austin, TX, about a sales representative whose old ways of selling are no longer effective. The reader follows the rep on his journey and learns how to use storytelling and strengthen soft skills to improve both professional and personal relationships.
John is also a guest lecturer on leveraging the power of storytelling in sales at multiple universities, including the University of Texas at Austin (UTLA), Pepperdine Graziadio Business School, and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. His book is now required reading for the UTLA course on Entertainment and Media Studies.
