Biography

“…The truth is, selling is everything in life. You’re selling or you’re failing…” – Jordan Belfort

In the 1990s, Jordan Belfort built one of the most dynamic and successful sales organisations in Wall Street history. During that time, he soared to the highest financial heights, earning over $50 million a year, a feat that coined him the name “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

As the owner of Stratton Oakmont, Belfort employed over 1,000 stockbrokers and raised over $1.5 billion and started more than 30 million-dollar-companies from scratch.

He’s acted as a consultant to more than fifty public companies, and has been written about in virtually every major newspaper and magazine in the world, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The London Times, The Herald Tribune, Le Monde, Corriere della Serra, Forbes, Business Week, Paris Match and Rolling Stone.

Along the way, he succumbed to some of the traps of the high-flying Wall Street lifestyle, going through a spectacular—and well-publicized—fall from grace. Taking invaluable lessons from the mistakes he made and the prices he paid, he has re-emerged as a globally recognized potent force behind extraordinary business success.

Today, his proprietary Straight Line System allows him to take virtually any company or individual, regardless of age, race, sex, educational background or social status, and empower them to create massive wealth, abundance, and entrepreneurial success, without sacrificing integrity or ethics.

Jordan’s two international bestselling memoirs, The Wolf of Wall Street and Catching the Wolf of Wall Street, have been published in over forty countries and translated into eighteen languages. His life story was turned into an Oscar-nominated feature film, The Wolf of Wall Street (Paramount 2013), directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Jordan’s comprehensive training sessions can be structured to meet each of your specific needs. His engagements have ranged from introductory 3-hour talks, to 3-day, in-depth training programs, to ongoing consultation on how to actively and massively grow the marketing and sales results of your organization.

Using his signature direct, humorous and passionate style, Jordan will train your team on how to use the most powerful business system ever devised. The results speak for themselves.

Jordan is one of the most engaging and motivating speakers in the world today. His life experiences are truly amazing, and what he teaches about selling with the Straight Line System is simply world class. If you desire to be at the top of your game as a salesperson, don’t miss this!
– Craig Scoogie – CEO – NextDC
Jordan’s ability to train and motivate salespeople at all levels of expertise is second to none. In March of 2011, he spent 1 full day training Amcon’s sales staff in the Straight Line System, and the results were incredible. Sales increased by 26% the following month and have continued to rise ever since. The changes were both immediate and lasting, and the sense of teamwork among our sales staff has never been stronger. There is no other sales training out there in the same league as this.
– Tony Grist – Chairman of Amcom
With his energy and direct presentation techniques, Jordan enables me to clear the fog of ideas and goals that I have and enabled me to crystallize my vision going forward.
– Chris Fydler – Business Owner, Olympic Gold Medallist Sydney, Australia
