Community Highlights: Meet Kelvin Grady of Sales Plug Univeristy

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kelvin Grady. 

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I learned the value of dedication at an early age growing up in Grand Rapids, MI, where at 10 years old, I set a goal to play two sports at a university. The odds of accomplishing this was 7% and an even smaller number of 1.8% for division 1. My dedication, hard work, and determination to avoid the voices, troubles, and adversity that stood against me earned him a 4-year college scholarship to play division 1 basketball and football at the University Of Michigan. My turmoil from the time I graduated from University Of Michigan to where I am now as a business owner is a jaw-dropper. The timeline of me feeling lost, my father going to prison, having my first child, facing felony charges, and having to recreate my journey is his greatest story, 

The story of a kid who went from everything he ever wanted in life to being restricted under four walls in Kent County correctional facility. By God’s grace, I was released from those charges and committed myself to being the epitome of overcoming adversity. A roller coaster ride off success and failures that he has continued to display relentless devotion to success through my business, fatherhood, and voice to show others around me that success is not defined by what you go through but how you respond. 

Started my business Sales Plug University in 2021 helping small to mid-size companies scale their sales team, management training and process development. Doubled in company size and revenue in just a year’s time. Our company offers a guarantee in results and has had a 100% success rate. Our success comes from guest speaking, podcast, social media presence, and a fun competitive culture. 

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Starting my business came with a lot of planning, failing, restructuring, and commitment to its purpose. There are always struggles we face while we are in growth phase. “New levels, bring new devils” Our biggest struggle was creating ads, funnels, and new content on a consistent basis. The biggest struggle with starting a new business is that no one knows who you are, and if no one knows who you are, no one can buy from you. The most successful business are in front of their customer base 24/7; that’s a tough act to follow. We are working on it. 

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Sales Plug University is a one-stop-shop full-service machine. We equip our clients with the necessities to go into the marketplace and feel confident closing more business with higher margins, and implement processes that give more predictability in their outcomes. 

My role as the founder of sales plug university is to create a structure to which the company can function without me being a part of every day-to-day activity. Always being one step ahead of the next big thing for SPU. Fulfillment is my biggest priority right now making sure we deliver everything we present to our clients at the highest efficiency. 

What sets me apart from others is my ability want to find problems to solve. The more problems you solve the more of a value you become to your customer base. The biggest differentiator is my ability to do that all with humility. 

The name sales plug university came from charges that were built against in 2017 in regards to drugs. The media tried to make me out to be some type of “sales plug,” so I took the stones they through at me and built a foundation with it. 

Alright, so before we go, can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
People who are interested in working with me can contact me via email at Kgrady@salespluguniversity.com, interact with my social content like podcast, LinkedIn, IG, and TikTok. 

Currently building an opportunity for individual sales reps to have an opportunity to work with us at an affordable price. We are always looking for new talent to work with us and for us.
