I am honored to be recognized by the International Cemetery and Funeral Association as the Speaker of the Decade in 2000, and again, for an unprecedented second time, in 2010.
My vast experience makes me extremely qualified to speak on a variety of topics, most especially sales, sales management, leadership, and organizational culture.
Since entering the business world in 1971 (more about Gary’s life here), I’ve been on a personal quest to learn everything there is to know about success in business — and then to teach and influence people at all levels in all kinds of organizations.
Because I understand business from all angles and at every level — I have earned the respect of all audiences.
I deliver powerful content with a down-home attitude. Using a combination of personal insights, humor and content I inspire, educate, and influence audiences to be better, to do better and to deliver outstanding results that exceed expectations.

When you chair a company, you understand the urgency to drive revenues every day. You know that sales leaders and sales managers have to transfer the principles, behaviors and skills to their sales people. You know that sales people have to acquire the proper selling habits and hone their skills every day.
Gary O’Sullivan’s time-tested principles for leading and managing a sales organization—for selling excellence and keeping the sales culture alive and thriving—unquestionably represent the BEST opportunity for developing a sales organization. Partnering with GO is how you keep your sales organization selling at its BEST!

Nobody but nobody does it better than Gary O’Sullivan. As a platform speaker and trainer myself, I am very critical of those who do this for a living. Without a doubt Mr. O is the BEST of the BEST. When Gary speaks the audiences listens! Gary’s commitment to people and helping organizations obtain their highest levels of success is his mission in life.
