In today’s episode of Inside Marketing with MarketSurge, Reed sits down with Paul Leon — the powerhouse sales enablement trainer who’s transformed 500+ companies, influenced $100M+ in revenue, and built one of Apple’s Top 50 Management Podcasts, The Manager’s Mic.

Paul went from self-described college dropout who never saw himself in corporate to MBA candidate, elite sales trainer, podcaster, and communication strategist. With a 4.9/5 workshop satisfaction score and a teaching style that blends psychology, sales science, and comedy, Paul shows teams how to communicate clearly, lead confidently, and close more business.

This episode gets into why most companies have a broken sales process, how marketing and sales value props drift out of alignment, and how teams can fix all of it through clarity, structure, and volume.

If you sell, lead, or market anything — this one is a masterclass.
