Sean is not the ONLY speaker out there…but he is the ONLY speaker specializing in Business to Business who also runs a successful business.
Sean is a business leader first and a speaker second.
Sean began selling jewelry on the streets of New York City. In order to pay his way through college he sold gas grills, cassette tapes, stereo equipment and worked the midnight shift at a convenience store. Encountering both success and failure, Sean learned from every experience, and his hunger for success grew stronger.
In 1996 Sean started VANTAGE GROUP®, a consortium of some of the largest electrical distributors in the world. Today, VANTAGE's strategic customer list includes companies like Georgia-Pacific, Nestle, Michelin, Disney, and many others in the fortune 500.
In addition to continuing to serve as President of VANTAGE, Sean participates on two Boards and is an Executive Sponsor for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois. Sean is also a private pilot, writer, and published poet.
“Sean is the ONLY speaker who skips the fluff and delivers specifics that work.”
His management philosophy is based on the premise that your top priority must be your people. By hiring the best, inspiring the best, and keeping the best, all other company objectives fall in line. Sean urges his managers to treat each employee as an individual and to set specific motivation strategies for each person. As a result his company consistently has double digit growth while maintaining single digit employee turnover. Learn more in his "One to One Management" speech.
When it comes to sales, Sean's methods are based on his observations of the very best. As a top performing Salesperson, Sales Manager, and business leader, Sean studied and implemented the common characteristics of those Salespeople in the top 10%. Sean presents his "Only Selling is Selling" speech without fluff or theory. His “Selling to Charlie” speech provides proven insight on selling to CEO’s and other top level management.
Sean is the ONLY speaker to guarantee results.
Surpassing $100 million in sales in less than 5 years, and doubling soon after, did not happen by accident for VANTAGE GROUP. Sean shares his strategy secrets in "The X Strategy," a unique approach for finding market opportunities and where to attack the competition.

While Sean has experienced success in business and life, the road was not always smooth. Inspired by the wisdom of his 14 year old nephew, Sean began a research project to determine how some people create happy and successful lives and why others do not. Despite having an inoperable brain tumor at such a young age, Sean's nephew succeeded at life by focusing on the positive. Sean's findings are shared in his "When Life Gives You a Lemon..." speech.
Sean ONLY shares information he successfully uses himself.
From Boston to Budapest, Sean Leahy works with, sells to, and speaks to some of the world's largest companies. Learn from Sean's experiences in management, sales, and life, as he combines his successful strategies with insightful stories and doses of humor. Your people will be inspired to new heights, armed with life changing information, and involved from beginning to end.
“Sean is the ONLY speaker I have had back multiple times.”
