About Aaron
Better humans, built onstage.
Aaron Bare is a Wall Street Journal #1 bestselling author, XPRIZE winner, and keynote speaker who has stood in front of more than 200,000 people in over 100 countries. He has built and sold twelve companies, led the National Association of Sales Professionals as CEO, and delivered strategy work inside rooms at Google, NASA, Amazon, Apple, and Boeing.
His work starts from one idea: all problems are incentive problems. Change what a system rewards and behavior follows — in a sales team, a boardroom, or a whole company. That thesis runs through six books, the Extraordinary CEO Growth Operating System, and The Incentives Lab, where he redesigns the incentives that quietly decide whether a strategy lives or dies.
Onstage he is part strategist, part provocateur, and genuinely fun to sit in front of. He comes prepared with your language, your market, and your numbers — and leaves your team with a decision they can act on Monday, not a highlight reel they forget by Friday.

The only sales brag I'll make
"I can sell anything to anyone, anytime."
…if they want to buy it.
That's the whole joke — and the whole method. You just have to get in front of the right people and run Bare Selling. Do both, and sales stop being a grind and start compounding.
Wrong room
Pitching hard to people who were never going to buy. Effort high, yield flat.
Right people
Get in front of buyers with the problem, the budget and the timing.
Bare Selling
Alignment Ladder. Four Truths. Seek the no. Diagnose before you prescribe.
Sales skyrocket
Shorter cycles, bigger deals, referrals that arrive without being asked.
Nobody talks anybody into anything. The work is qualification, diagnosis and trust — the rest is theater.
