Within his speaking company, Marcus Sheridan International, Inc., he gives over 70 global keynotes annually where he inspires audiences in the areas of sales, marketing, leadership, and communication.
As author of the bestselling business book, They Ask, You Answer, which has become a digital sales and marketing framework for businesses around the world, Marcus has not only inspired thousands to achieve their potential but has given them the tools they need to get there. Mashable rated his book the “#1 Marketing Book” to read in 2017.

The story of Marcus’s swimming pool company has been featured in multiple books, publications, and university case studies around the world. After starting his business out of the back of a pickup truck in 2001 and then watching the economy take it to the brink of bankruptcy, Sheridan’s online innovations led it to become not only the most trafficked swimming pool builder website in the world but also one of the largest builders and manufacturers of fiberglass pools in the US. Today, along with still owning the swimming pool company, Sheridan also owns a highly successful digital sales and marketing agency, IMPACT.
