MERIT KAHN, CSP

Merit Kahn, CSP, is the CEO of SELLect Sales Development and author of two books; Myth Shift: Challenging The Truths That Sabotage Success and Are You Open To… She co-hosts The Smarter Sales Show podcast and writes sales curriculum for clients across a number of industries.

Since 1998, Merit has worked with salespeople, entrepreneurs, professionals and sales teams teaching them how to stop selling and start getting SELLected by their ideal clients.

Her mantra “The first step to a closed deal is always an open mind,” is the perfect message to open your conference and open minds of attendees about what is truly possible. Whether you sell products, services or ideas and influence, Merit’s message will resonate and people will walk away with practical skills they can implement immediately.

In her spare time she is a stand-up comedian who wrote a one-woman inspiring comedy show, a Peloton addict, a former Gerber baby model and a newly minted empty nester.
