Sean Stormes
Sean Stormes leads The Third Door, a rapidly growing profitable revenue growth (PRG) strategy firm, and is a former Chief Results Officer of a national, industry-leading distribution firm. A recognized authority on helping progressive leadership design, develop and deliver purpose-driven business models that create strong customer demand, he founded The Third Door after a distinguished 27-year executive career rooted in key growth areas including Executive Management, Innovation, Strategy, Continuous Improvement, Sales, and Marketing.
After leading high-performing teams at the regional and national level, and driving $250 million in new business between 1995 and 2008, Sean designed his firm's platform in response to traditional industry "best practices" that have become obsolete. Many of his firm's clients have realized double digit PRG within six months of successful implementation, primarily because of his innate ability to help produce meaningful marketplace separation for businesses in highly competitive industries.
Additionally, the organizations he has had the honor of leading have experienced as much as a 600% EBIDTA improvement, confirming the effectiveness of the new "source code" Sean pioneered.
Sean has over 57,000 hours invested in his proprietary framework and associated architecture, much of it centered on demand creation via "Unprecedented Value Design" and "Organizational Fitness." His client list includes the United States' largest entrepreneurial organization, The Kauffman Foundation (FastTrac); Dimensional Innovations, a recognized leader in the Design-Build arena; ArrivedOutdoors, a game-changing and exclusive executive retreat organization; and Redemption Plus, a national distributor of toys, prizes and insights to the family entertainment center industry.
Sean is a CEO, published author, sought after keynote speaker and a former nationally syndicated guest columnist to the American City Business Journals, reaching thousands of business leaders across 43 top U.S. markets each year.
His new book – "Clean Slate: Why leadership should trash their current business model, reject popular sales advice, operate like a startup, and leverage the new rules for prosperity to achieve explosive profitable revenue growth" – debuted October 2017.
