Tara Shuler is the founder of ConvoControl, a training system for winning high-stakes conversations. A former Level 9 competitive gymnast, she built her method on one lesson from the gym: you don't rise to the occasion, you fall back on how you've trained.
After more than 20 years in sales, including nine years as Vice President of Sales at Carrot LLC and more than $50 million personally closed, she teaches one rule: the person who controls the conversation controls the outcome. And you control it by asking, not telling.
She is the author of seven books, including Questions Close Deals and Everything Is Sales, and the creator of the ConvoDojo, a live weekly arena where members drill real conversations under pressure. She keynotes sales kickoffs and leadership summits, trains corporate sales teams on-site, and coaches founders and closers one-on-one. Tara lives in St. Petersburg, Florida.
