The Keynote Speaker

"First, for fun. Second, out of curiosity..."

If you ask the German keynote speaker Markus Milz why he does what he does and why he does it so successfully, you get the answer: "First, for fun, second, out of curiosity, and third, to make money." Because, he says, "Success is a question of attitude to life, and if that matches what you do, the deserved reward comes by itself."

Markus Milz was born with curiosity. He enjoys thinking and dealing with other ways of thinking - this is what shapes him at work and in his private life. This is how his SALESTOOLBOX® and his book Vertriebspraxis Mittelstand came about: Through intensive thinking and a practical creative process that only had to implement what was already fully worked out in his head.

The father of two and husband satisfies his private curiosity through his travels all over the world, which he already started during his studies. Today, he gives his impulse lectures both in German-speaking countries and beyond. "Foreign people, exciting cultures - that has always fascinated me. Today, I have traveled to over 75 countries." At first, he only traveled with a backpack, but today he definitely appreciates it more comfortably. But the cosmopolitan still does without packages. He used to set out on his own. Today he does it with his family, who love traveling just as much as he does: "A plane ticket, maybe a rental car, a flexible plan and off we go..." But Markus Milz lives another passion: quality. He values that both privately and professionally. "Even at my first major employer, I learned that "the job has to be done and it has to be done perfectly. If it's important, even with a fever on Easter Monday. And almost everything that serves the customer is important." Today, Markus Milz, a business and economics graduate, is happy to be trained as a consultant with very strong numbers. "I appreciate entrepreneurial vision, but without correct numbers, the ability to interpret them and derive the right actions from them, you build your vision on sand." This is where he sees his great strength as a consultant: the visionary view of the big picture, coupled with the ability to understand the often harsh reality and to find solutions where others remain stuck in problems.
