meet Nicole

Nicole Cramer is a dynamic keynote speaker and sales coach, passionate about helping individuals and teams across industries—including real estate, financial services, health and wellness, and B2B sales—master the art of high-touch, relationship-driven selling. As the founder of TNC Speaking and Coaching, Nicole uses her expertise in human connection, influential communication, and negotiation to teach others how to build authentic relationships that lead to successful outcomes.

After 15 years as a high school math teacher, Nicole transitioned into corporate sales, quickly rising to become the #1 salesperson in the nation at a Fortune 500 company. Through the very methods she used to achieve that success—focusing on genuine human connection and mastering powerful conversations—Nicole now helps businesses and entrepreneurs elevate their sales strategies. Her belief is simple: selling is serving, and true sales come from relationships, not transactions.

In addition to her speaking and coaching work, Nicole is an Exactly What to Say® Certified Guide, a qualification she integrates into her broader mission of teaching sales psychology and effective communication. She’s also a certified health and wellness coach through IIN, with a passion for living a healthy, vibrant life.

When she’s not on stage or coaching, Nicole is passionate about personal growth, self-improvement, and loves attending conferences and engaging in communities that inspire her. Her favorite conversations cover everything from the latest in health and wellness to real estate reality shows like Selling Sunset and Owning Manhattan, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s latest buzz, or the genius of John Mayer’s music. She’s also a die-hard Ohio State Buckeyes fan and enjoys relaxing with her Boxer dog, Cassie, at home in Nashville.
