AK’s favourite motivational speaker is always the Les Brown. Les Brown, is the number one motivational speaker in America was always AK’s role model and the guy who inspired him to become a motivational speaker in Arabic world after seeing him live in Dubai and he told him famous line “You are hungry”.

Directing them to the right path, training them about sales techniques, retailmanagement and how to have a clear vision about themselves followed with goals so they can grow in their companies.

He remember that they used to speak about him to their friends who insisted to meet with him to take some advice from him about their careers and because helping people was always his goal and passion in life.
He was happy to meet with them and give the advice that helped them to grow in their career.

AK kept doing that for years until he decided that he must become a motivational speaker to be able to continue and expand his journey of helping others.
His advice to the sales people in order to be an extraordinarily good sales person is you shouldalways work on ( “When you meet with your clients you must sell them something before ending the meeting, if today they are unable to buy your products, make sure you will sell them something before they leave such as outstanding experience and new knowledge about the products”). If you apply this attitude with each client and remain positive at the end of the client visit even if they didn’t buy from you, eventually some other day you will end up selling your products to 90% of them. https://instagram.com/ak_minute2motiv8?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
