Keith Lentz

I’m a veteran of the Air Force and a sales, training and coaching executive who’s passionate about helping sales organizations grow through structure, accountability, and engagement. I’ve spent my career with big companies in the advertising, automotive and fintech space. Companies like AT&T, Autotrader, Yelp, and PayPal.

My career in sales leadership, training leadership, enablement coaching, leadership and development and partnering cross functionally makes me feel like the ultimate Swiss army knife or 5 tool baseball player. 

Another way to put it: 

1. I’m a sales leader that can train.
2. I’m a training leader that grows revenue.
3. I’m a Coach that understands all of it happens with people.
