Ralph Azar
Founder and Chief Trainer
I’m Ralph Azar, and after more than 20 years in field sales — rising from entry-level roles to Director positions in leading American firms — I’ve witnessed the transformative impact of focused, top-tier sales training.
My expertise is built on training from world-class organizations like Force Management, Kaplan, and 2Win Global, complemented by coaching in storytelling, public speaking, and presentations from renowned professionals such as Riz Khan and Richard Quest (CNN) and Daniel Pink (NYT Best-Selling Author).
Today, I bring this wealth of knowledge to Startup Early, where I design and deliver professional development programs that drive measurable results. From pre-designed workshops to custom solutions tailored to your company’s unique strengths and value proposition, I specialize in developing both skillsets and mindsets to enhance effectiveness. Let’s explore how we can collaborate to elevate your team’s performance and achieve meaningful growth.
