Bio for your website or brochure:
Alan Berg CSP, Global Speaking Fellow – Sales Trainer, Speaker, Author (and Bourbon Nerd)
Alan Berg (yes, that Alan Berg) helps you stop sounding like everyone else and start closing sales.
He’s the former VP of Sales at The Knot, author of 15 books, and has spoken in 14 countries, sharing practical sales strategies that actually work in the real world. He’s also one of only 46 Global Speaking Fellows in the world, and holds both the CSP and FPSA designations.
If you’ve ever wondered why people ghost you, why cheaper competitors win, or why your inquiries aren’t turning into bookings, that’s exactly what Alan helps you fix.
He’s the host of the “Wedding Business Solutions” podcast, with over 400 episodes and more than 300,000 downloads, where he shares real-world advice you can use right away. And when he’s not helping businesses sell more effectively, you might find him at a piano, or using his Executive Bourbon Steward credentials in ways that may or may not improve the conversation.
If you want better conversations, more replies, and more booked business, you’re in the right place.
Alan Berg, CSP, FPSA is one of only 46 Global Speaking Fellows in the world.

Alan Berg CSP, FPSA, Global Speaking Fellow – Author, Speaker, Sales Trainer, and Bourbon Enthusiast
Alan Berg (yes, that Alan Berg) is what happens when you mix a sales Jedi, a stand-up comic who wandered into a conference room, and a guy who looked at the wedding industry and said, “You know what this needs? Better conversations and fewer awkward follow-ups.”
He’s spoken in more countries than most people have tried hot sauces, delivered presentations in multiple languages he may or may not have learned five minutes before stepping on stage, and somewhere between keynotes, he’ll sit down at a piano and casually remind you he could’ve gone in a completely different direction and still done just fine.
Former VP of Sales at a little company called The Knot, author of 15 books (yes, fifteen), and host of the “Wedding Business Solutions” podcast with over 400 episodes and more than 300,000 downloads, Alan has one mission: help you stop sounding like everyone else and start closing sales.
He’s the guy who will tell you your emails are too long, your website is talking about you too much, and your follow-up game has the emotional intensity of a damp sponge – and then show you exactly how to fix it.
Also, somewhere along the way, he became an Executive Bourbon Steward, which feels less like a credential and more like a warning.
If you’ve ever wondered why people ghost you, why cheaper competitors win, or why your brilliant offer isn’t landing, Alan’s probably already written a book, given a talk, played a few bars on a piano for emphasis, or built an AI for that.
And if not, give him a minute. He’s probably working on it.

Alan Berg (yes, that Alan Berg) is what happens when you mix a sales strategist, a stand-up comic who wandered into a boardroom, and someone who looks at everyday business conversations and thinks, “This could be a whole lot more effective.”
He’s spoken in more countries than most people have tried hot sauces, delivered presentations in multiple languages he may or may not have learned five minutes before stepping on stage, and somewhere between keynotes, he’ll sit down at a piano and casually remind you he could’ve gone in a completely different direction and still done just fine.
Former VP of Sales at The Knot, author of 15 books (yes, fifteen), and host of a podcast with over 400 episodes and more than 300,000 downloads, Alan has one mission: help you stop sounding like everyone else and start closing sales.
Whether you’re selling services, experiences, or products, he’ll show you why prospects stop responding, why they choose cheaper options, and what to say differently to turn more conversations into revenue.
He’s known for telling people what they need to hear, not just what they want to hear, and doing it in a way that actually makes them want to change.
Also, somewhere along the way, he became an Executive Bourbon Steward, which feels less like a credential and more like a warning.
If you’ve ever wondered why your leads go quiet, why your value isn’t landing, or why your team isn’t converting like they should, Alan’s probably already written a book, given a talk, played a few bars on a piano for emphasis, or built an AI for that.
And if not, give him a minute. He’s probably working on it.

I use a MacBook Pro or an iPad, for both of which I have HDMI adaptors. For most meetings a standard projector and screen is fine, or large flat screen TV.
I have a “clicker” to change my slides, so for most presentations my laptop can be near the projector. I don’t need it on stage with me, and I prefer not to have a podium so I can walk the width of the stage/room.
A large flat screen is fine for small groups, trainings and mastermind meetings.
For any group over 20 people a PA system with wireless lavaliere or headset microphone is required. A secondary, wireless handheld microphone, is helpful for announcements and audience participation, especially in larger room setups.
I usually don’t have any sound coming from my laptop, but please check with me first as, depending upon the presentation, there may be a video or other sound needs.
I sometimes do an audio recording of my presentations using a small, digital recorder. I’ll bring the necessary cables to connect to the sound board. If you’ll already be making an audio/video recording (with prior written authorization, of course), we can arrange to get me a copy instead.
For website presentations where I’ll be reviewing attendee’s websites I’ll need a strong wi-fi connection, and my laptop will need to be onstage, or at the front of the room on a podium or high-top table.

“ I really enjoyed you energy and enthusiasm. There was so much good information and advice I hope to implement at least 1/2 of it. We will be contacting you in the future to discuss web site analysis.” – Feedback left on Square – read more reviews
For most presentations I prefer classroom style setup (narrow rectangles) so participants can take notes. If you don’t have classroom tables then banquet rounds are fine as long as they are only set halfway around, so no one has their back to the stage/screen.
For large conferences, classroom is preferred for longer presentations, or where attendees will be taking notes. Otherwise, theater style seating is acceptable.
For Mastermind Groups, Master Classes and for groups of 12-20 a “U”-shape is preferred as everyone has a front row seat. The projector/screen should be setup in the open end of the “U.”
For small groups (12 or less), including small mastermind groups, a boardroom setup is fine (one, large table with a large TV or screen and projector at the front).
Where possible, I’ll need a table to display my books and CDs. A 6 or 8 foot, draped table is fine. It should be placed in the presentation room in an area of high traffic (near the front of the room, neat the door, near the coffee, etc.).
