The Human Behind Influence Lab
Hey there!
I’m Patrick Vogel — glad you made it here.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering:
“Who is this guy, and can he actually help my sales team?”
Fair question. Let’s start with the basics.
I’ve been in sales for over 10 years, across very different industries:
Cold-calling doctors in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland to get 45 minutes of their time for surveys (yes, really).
Selling luxury real estate to some of the wealthiest people on the planet.
Most recently, closing deals and scaling sales at a tech unicorn in Spain — while running training for global teams across Europe and the US.
Some Wins I’m Proud Of
Let’s skip the fluff. Here’s what I’ve helped make happen:
+5300% team performance growth in one year — revenue jumped from €180K to €3.5M
4× top agent at the global luxury real estate brand Engel & Völkers in Mallorca
Record conversion rate from doctors across DACH
Led sales workshops at Travelperk that helped break 3 company records in under 12 months
But here’s the thing: these wins didn’t come from pushy tactics.
They came from trust, curiosity, and knowing how to connect — fast and authentically.
Why I Do This Work
Sales has a bad rap. Pushy. Sleazy. Manipulative.
Let’s be honest — we’ve all felt that cringe.
But done right?
Sales is service.
It’s about asking better questions. Listening with intention. Creating clarity.
And making sure your client walks away thinking, “That was actually helpful.”
That’s what I teach.
My workshops focus on the how-tos of real connection:
Building instant trust
Sounding like yourself (not a robot)
Guiding conversations without pushing
The result?
Your team sells more — and feels great doing it.
My Mission
I started Influence Lab to help salespeople become better communicators — and better humans.
My mission is simple:
Leave people better than I found them.
We all influence others — our teams, clients, partners, even strangers.
The real question is: how intentional are we about that influence?
At Influence Lab, I help your team build that awareness — and turn it into a skill.
One rooted in trust, clarity, and integrity.
