A Practical Voice From Inside the Furniture Business
If you’re looking for a speaker or consultant who understands how this industry actually works—from the showroom floor to the buying office—Mike Root brings a perspective shaped by more than 60 years and four generations in the furniture business.
Mike isn’t a motivational speaker who parachutes in with generic advice. He’s a sales rep, a strategist, and a storyteller who has lived the decisions retailers and manufacturers wrestle with every day. His sessions are candid, practical, and grounded in real-world examples drawn from From a Sales Rep’s Perspective and decades of hands-on experience.
