Keynote Speaking Demo Reel: Ryan Estis in Action - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EootWMFZlR4
Speaker Profile - https://www.gravityspeakers.com/speakers/ryan-estis
Ryan Estis is a former Fortune 500 Chief Revenue Officer turned globally respected sales and leadership expert. He brings over 20 years of real-world sales experience to the stage, delivering dynamic keynotes that help organizations accelerate growth, enhance leadership impact, and deepen customer relationships.
Through his firm and bestselling book Prepare for Impact, Ryan equips leaders with human-centered strategies that foster loyalty, culture, and bottom-line results. He is especially renowned in the HVAC and building technologies space, having worked with companies such as Mitsubishi Electric, Lennox, Trane, Gensco, and Resideo. With a focus on value-based selling, employee empowerment, and culture transformation, Ryan delivers actionable insights that help sales teams thrive amid uncertainty, outperform the competition, and lead with purpose.
Customer expectations and behavior are evolving faster than most sales organizations. B2B buyers considering a purchase now spend only 17% of that time actually meeting with potential suppliers, and if comparing multiple suppliers, the amount of time spent with any one sales team shrinks to 5%.
This reality requires a fundamental shift in go-to-market strategy and an evolution in seller skill and competency. Sales teams not only have to earn customer access from a position of expertise but also use a new value-based, deeply customized approach to earn customer partnerships that can sustain growth into the future.
Ryan Estis is a former Fortune 500 CRO and sales transformation expert who teaches sales teams how to leverage this defining moment of transformation and change as a catalyst to create compelling differentiation in the customer decision journey to capture more market share.
Sellers will understand how to earn more customer access, position value over price, elevate customer confidence from a position of expertise, and drive decisions to close.
Inspired by compelling stories and actionable insights, each participant will leave acutely aware of how to humanize the sales process to build high trust/high-value relationships that create partnerships for life.
Ryan Estis is one of the most sought-after voices in modern sales leadership, especially within HVAC and adjacent industries. Backed by real-world experience and a compelling body of work including Sell for Impact and Prepare for Impact, Ryan helps sales leaders understand how to humanize the buying journey, differentiate in commoditized markets, and build resilient, performance-driven teams. His understanding of HVAC dynamics and proven track record with industry leaders makes him a natural fit to guide Daikin’s audience toward growth, trust, and sustained success.
“It’s often said that people remember how you make them feel more than what you say. On behalf of the entire team at CDW I want to thank you for making each and every person feel in control of their success, in charge of their emotions and responsible for the next action step in their journey to success. You were memorable, relevant, energizing and authentic. Thank you for bringing your best self to CDW!” - CDW
Ryan led us to some new critical thinking, and he challenged all of us to form a new blueprint for how we will work and live in the future. He is a dynamic and energetic speaker. As you listen, he makes you want to stand up straight up, push your shoulders back and glow with confidence and energy. It was infectious and eye opening. Ryan not only speaks well and commands his audience, but he always backs up his words with solid research, metrics, facts, and logic that settles your uncertainties. - Mazars USA
