Who is Kevin Kelly?

Kevin Kelly – Global Sales Motivational Speaker | Business Coach | Best-Selling Author | Creator of the Triple A Sales Strategy

Kevin Kelly is a globally acclaimed sales motivational speaker, business coach, and best-selling author with over 30 years of experience inspiring organizations and individuals to achieve exceptional results. His passion for human behavior and communication was sparked as a six-year-old working in his family’s shop in the west of Ireland—a curiosity that evolved into a global mission: helping people unlock their potential through authentic engagement.

After graduating with a degree in marketing, Kevin launched Advanced Marketing in 1990 and quickly became a sought-after consultant and keynote speaker. He has since spoken in over 35 countries, empowering global businesses across industries—including Fortune 500 companies and the Million Dollar Round Table—with his high-energy, story-rich, and deeply practical approach.

Kevin’s philosophy centers on Authentic Intention—the belief that meaningful human connection is the key to sales success. This philosophy fuels his signature method: the Triple A Strategy (Attention – Awareness – Action), a practical roadmap to help teams increase sales, build trust, and thrive under pressure.

He is also the creator of the « Close More Sales » course, a transformational program designed to turn customers into lifelong advocates through compelling storytelling and intentional action.
