Michael McGowan – Bio
The Different Manager | The Seller Accelerator | Scaling Certainty
Michael McGowan has spent more than 20 years helping SMB companies build the sales capability needed for growth. He has worked extensively in Ireland and internationally, including living and working in the United States.
Today, Michael helps companies in two areas. (1) First, he works with leadership teams to build the sales architecture that provides the visibility, measurement and discipline needed to run a professional sales organisation.
(2) Second, he helps growth companies build a commercial sales environment that captures their expertise, establishes consistent sales and messaging standards, and enables new hires, managers and sales teams to become fluent in communicating the company’s value.
In particular, he likes working with established companies that have a strong offering and value story, but need better sales capability to turn it into growth.
