Lars Alberyd SalesStar
Lars Alberyd
Practice Partner
  • Over 20 years of sales, sales management, and sales leadership experience
  • Have spent ten years as a sales transformation consultant – mainly in the automotive industry 
  • Entrepreneurial background as an owner and co-owner of small consulting firms

I love the simple idea of challenging others and myself to see if it’s possible to reach desired outcomes. It often starts with a few words like, – ”What if we tried it this way… 

If you want to grow, you need to transform. However, what a lot of professionals have experienced is that change work can be both hard and complicated. I like to help and support our clients change initiatives because I love exploring the human mechanics that are in play and the results that often come out of it. I believe that coaching is a great approach for making change happen.

Through deep listening and questions that open up and map out the pathway forward – people get access to an incredible inner strength from which they can take action – this makes all the difference. That’s why I help growth-oriented leaders accelerate revenue through improving sales performance. Grow people to grow sales!

Paul O’Donohue
CEO
  • First ten years of working career as an industrial electrician (Diploma of Electrical Engineering) – realised most tradespeople were poor at sales and wanted to learn more
  • Sales Engineer for PDL Electronics
  • Key Account Manager, Tyco Electronics
  • Moved to Recruitment Industry – strong interest in assessment tools that could help identify the traits of a successful salesperson

I have always been passionate about making a difference, helping to grow people in order to grow sales. I particularly enjoy helping entrepreneurs develop the sales strategy and disciplines they require to maximise their growth. We literally give CEOs the clarity to help “engineer sales success”. Over the years we’ve been instrumental in aiding our clients to grow their markets, putting the science behind sales success so they could grow by as much as 146%. I gain great satisfaction out of using my unique blend of skills and experience to pragmatically solve complex sales challenges and help companies map out a clear path to grow. I’m a strong advocate for three things: for setting goals that stretch, for lifelong learning and for developing a supportive mindset for success. I live by the philosophy “If you’re not getting out of your comfort zone, you are not growing.”

I consider my role to be like that of an orchestra conductor – making sure all the moving parts come together in harmony for best effect. I love the fact that what we do at SalesStar is like throwing a stone in a pond; the ripples that emanate have such positive consequences for the well-being of both businesses and individual lives. The knowledge that I play a definitive role in how well this happens brings me great satisfaction. Part of this is getting the right people in place, and establishing the right culture so we can provide the right customer experience. Furthermore, I love helping my clients achieve the same result. This is something that is easy to say but more difficult to achieve. I am privileged to be able to combine the expertise I’ve gained on my journey, with my innate curiosity about people and how they work, to best advantage. I also love being able to use my specialist knowledge in Objective Management Group tools to help businesses gain much-needed clarity around their issues and to assist them to find the top-performers they need to grow their businesses even further.
