Get Your Sales Team Off To A Flying Start In 2027
This is the event that gets your sales team inspired, motivated, and equipped with real-world sales skills to have their best sales year ever.
SalesGuru Live! is your team’s sales vitamin boost — a powerful blend of mindset, sales psychology and practical skills. SalesGuru has been running sold-out events since 2006. We know the recipe that creates huge value for our delegates — and exactly how to deliver it. And this year, we’re flying in an international headliner from Northern Ireland to join Mark on stage.
KIM CALVERT — International headliner.
Trained directly under legendary prosperity teacher Bob Proctor. Went from £4.20 in her pocket to an eight-figure global business. Now she’s coming to unlock the psychology behind why your best people sell — and why the rest don’t yet.
MARK KEATING — CEO of SalesGuru.
Twenty years building South Africa’s biggest sales training company. Tangible sales skills, delivered in his own direct, funny, punchy style — no theory, just what works.
This is for salespeople, account managers, sales managers, sales leaders, HR and L&D, MDs and business owners — anyone responsible for winning, keeping and growing customers.
Trained by Bob Proctor. Over 3,000 keynotes and trainings, from sales
forces and sales teams to Olympic champions and billionaires.
Kim Calvert
Global Expert in Human Performance and Success
£4.20. Roughly R92.
That is what Kim Calvert had left in her pocket when she made the decision that changed her life. She was a psychiatric nurse in Northern Ireland, working night shifts, earning £35,000 a year, secure and completely unfulfilled.
In 2016, at 28, she walked away from the government job and spent her last £4.20 studying under Bob Proctor. Within a few years she’d built an eight-figure global business. She became Bob Proctor’s number one consultant worldwide, and the only person ever to reach Executive Diamond level inside his organisation.
She’s since collected more than 25 international awards for business, leadership and sales, delivered over 3,000 keynotes and trainings, and taught everyone from sales forces and sales teams to Olympic champions and professional athletes, CEOs and billionaires — including mentoring an elite group of billionaires on a private island.
What makes her rare isn’t the story. It’s the two things she puts together: nearly a decade inside psychiatric nursing, which taught her how human behaviour actually works, and several years studying what drives results at the root, working directly alongside Bob Proctor. That combination is why her work produces change that sticks, not a Monday-morning buzz that’s gone by Wednesday.
Who was Bob Proctor?
Bob Proctor (1934–2022) was one of the most influential voices in the modern personal development movement and one of the featured teachers in the 2006 documentary ‘The Secret’.
For more than 60 years he taught why people with the same information and the same opportunity produce completely different results. These four names span nearly a century of global personal development thinking. Kim is the next name in that line:
Andrew Carnegie → Napoleon Hill → Earl Nightingale → Bob Proctor → Kim Calvert
In February, she’s in your room.

The root cause of results — so you stop treating symptoms
The Source Of Sales Success
The biggest problem in selling - the knowing-doing gap
The foundation for all success sits within mindset, not strategy. Execution matters — you’ll get plenty of that from Mark — but strategy sits on top of something. More calls, more activity, more follow-up, and the bottom line still doesn’t shift if the foundation underneath isn’t solid. It’s about the energy behind the action. And that energy is you, and your mindset.
Kim calls the biggest problem in professional selling the knowing-doing gap. Your people know they should be asking for the sale. They know they should be phoning. And every time they go to do it, something pulls them back and they find something else to do instead. Kim understands exactly why that happens, and she teaches a three-step process for closing it — one she describes as simple, proven, time-tested and, most importantly for a sales leader, replicable.
That last word matters. Every business has two or three people in the top 3% and quietly wishes it could clone them. Kim’s argument is that what those people do can be taught to everybody else, because the science of success is universal.
In the room, she covers:
- The confidence to ask for the sale — and to ask at a higher level
- How to attract better, higher-quality clients instead of chasing them
- The three levels of communication, and how to use them to pull buyers towards you instead of pushing
- Why selling is serving — and how getting that right changes both the enjoyment and the income
- How to get productive and take your time back
- How to break through the financial ceiling your people are quietly sitting under — the one they built themselves
One instruction from Kim: don’t send just one person.
‘When a team is in harmony on the goal, in harmony in attitude, and in alignment on the action, income rises, clients get happier, and people start enjoying selling every single day,’ says Kim.
You can’t get a team into harmony by sending one delegate and asking them to write a report.

Mark Keating
CEO of SalesGuru
30 Years of Sales Lessons: What Actually Works
At 24, Mark was doing construction work, waitering, security shifts and hospital portering across Europe — no direction, no plan. Then he fell into sales. Commission only, cold-calling, UK. The toughest sales floor there is: you don’t sell, you don’t eat.
From there: the wins, the failures, and the moments that shaped his career in sales — through to becoming the number one salesperson in South African telecommunications. Sales management. Sales leadership. Launching an outsourced sales company for a tech startup. Co-founding SalesGuru in 2006 — building it into the largest sales training and development company in Africa.
This is the talk where Mark opens up the full 30 years — the breakthroughs, the setbacks, the turning points that actually changed how he sold. The biggest lessons he’s learned and earned along the way, told through the real stories that shaped them.
Your team walks out knowing:
- It doesn’t matter where you come from. It matters where you’re going.
- Why sales is one of the greatest careers on earth. If you decide to make it a career — not a job you’re waiting to leave.
- Customers don’t fall out of the sky. And what it takes to bring back the lost art of prospecting.
- Why it’s never about you, your offering, or your company. It’s about the problems you solve and the outcomes you deliver.
- How to really listen. And the simple, uncomfortable skill of asking for the business.
- Sales is a contact sport. You never win sitting behind your desk.
- Why holding yourself accountable — and letting others hold you to it — is what separates top performers from the rest.
- How ongoing self-development keeps you sharp, hungry, and relevant. Year after year, deal after deal.
- Delivering more than what your customers expect.
This is more than a sales motivational talk.
It’s 30 years in sales — the highs, the lows, and the best lessons learned for sales success, handed straight to your team as a starter for 2027.
