Workshops & Training

Many keynote speakers don’t do workshops. Not the case with Marcus Sheridan.


In fact, his workshop career started in 2012 when a reader of his blog came to him with a problem. As CMO of her company, Krista Kotrla said:


“Marcus, I believe in all of these things you’re teaching. I know we can do this in our company. But the problem is, I can’t seem to get buy-in with my team. Leadership resists. The Sales Team doesn’t want to participate. I’m at my wit’s end… Will you come in and convince my team that they want to embrace Inbound Marketing?”


That ended up being the first of over 250+ workshops Marcus has given around the world. Over time, he has become known for a very unique ability:


When company-wide buy-in is a problem, Marcus fixes it.

“Marcus Sheridan came in and did in one day what I had been trying to accomplish for over a year.”

Krista Kotrla, Chief Marketing Officer, Block Imaging

Marcus is Able to Do This Because of the Three Core Elements of His Teaching Style:

Sales Buy-in And Enablement: Using Digital To Sell

Too often organizations struggle to empower their sales teams with the right digital tools and assets to meet the demands of today’s buyer. Along these same lines, many sales organizations push back on digital simply because they don’t understand it’s value to the organization and their individual sales goals. This workshop was specifically designed to solve these issues. In it, Marcus will train your sales team how to integrate content into their sales process—before, during, and after a sales opportunity and participate in the content production process—from becoming a subject matter expert to helping create powerful sales enabling videos for prospects and customers.

“Hiring and working with Marcus Sheridan has been one of the best business decisions I have made since owning my company.”
