Philip Semmelroth

Philip Semmelroth is a business strategy expert, entrepreneur, bestselling author, and managing director of PS GmbH. He supports companies in increasing their sales success, optimizing processes, and effectively managing employees. Together with his team, he has a proven track record of making companies more profitable—through tried-and-tested strategies, clear structures, and consistent implementation.

His entrepreneurial career began early: At the age of 18, he founded his first company, which he successfully sold to an investor at the age of 40. Today, he passes on his extensive practical experience as an entrepreneur and sales coach to people and organizations—across industries and internationally. With over two decades of experience, he shows how companies can achieve more with fewer resources and secure pole position in tomorrow’s markets.

Philip Semmelroth combines academic knowledge with entrepreneurial practice. After graduating from high school, he studied business administration and also earned an MBA in the US. He complements this in-depth expertise with his work as a reserve officer in the army, where he internalized clarity, discipline, and speed as leadership principles. In his own company, he managed over 30 employees and built structures through functioning sales systems and teams working independently, which enabled him to step out of day-to-day business three years before the company was sold. At the same time, he founded a second company for keynotes and sales training.

His lectures are characterized by practical relevance, clarity, and inspiration.

Philip Semmelroth Lecture Topics

Sales, Distribution & Sales

The order is not awarded to the one who delivers best, but to the one who sells best. This is because a customer cannot judge how good a service actually is during a sales conversation. They rely on their gut feeling as to whether they are in safe hands with the provider. Successful salespeople therefore work continuously on their performance. Those who avoid uncertainty can negotiate better prices and terms, thereby significantly increasing their margins.

Leadership – from practice for practice

No one succeeds alone. Effective leadership is a challenge that Philip Semmelroth has mastered over many years of practical experience. As an officer, entrepreneur, and boss, he has challenged, encouraged, and successfully led employees. In doing so, he shows why loyalty cannot be bought, but is based on trust and principles. When he sold his company, many of his employees had already been on board for over five, six, or seven years. They worked independently, with a focus on sales and solutions – because principles were more important than rules.

Mindset – Attitude & Beliefs

Skill is always the result of regular training, but at the beginning of every development is the desire to learn. Without commitment, even the greatest talent remains untapped. In his lectures, Philip Semmelroth emphasizes how important it is to overcome self-doubt and consistently implement strategies. His message is clear: sales come from implementation. Those who consciously control their story and strategy determine their success or failure.

Philip Semmelroth works with companies from a wide range of industries and knows how to adapt to different markets and mentalities. He is convinced that sustainable success comes from clarity, implementation power, and attitude. His motto sums up this attitude: Sales come from implementation.

Philip Semmelroth is a speaker who impresses with his clarity, experience, and energy. He stands for business strategy, leadership, sales, and mindset, and speaks both German and English fluently.
