From small-town hustler to nationally recognized sales trainer — how one man turned authenticity into millions Born and raised in small-town Cato, New York, Luke Lunkenheimer turned a career-ending injury into an opportunity. With no degree and no plan B, he jumped into car sales — and within 30 days, became the top performer. Less than two years later, he was running the dealership. Over the next decade, Luke broke sales records across multiple industries before returning to auto as the owner of the region’s top-performing independent dealer group. Behind it all was the P2P framework — a method built on authenticity, not pressure that led to more deals closed and a better customer experience. Today, through Paid 2 Persuade, he’s helping others close with confidence and sell the way humans are meant to.

I've always had a love of stories! Coming from small town Ohio, what else is there? I was a very nerdy student who felt like I didn't really belong, so I always took refuge in the movies--stories that taught me that people could be both vulnerable and strong! I am a classic recovering perfectionist who gets bored easy. So I did everything growing up from pole vault, to piano, to FFA public speaking contests, the list goes on and on. After getting my Masters Degree in Psychology at UD, I moved to Nashville and fell in love with the storytelling, creative community. I was finally able to put words to this PASSION of storytelling! I loved it so much, I simply had to work in EVERY area of it! I worked as an actor, director, producer, writer, art department, songwriter, etc. I am so thankful for everything that this journey has taught me about myself and the wonderful people I have been so blessed to meet. I am so excited for the stories still to be told, and the continued healing in becoming who you were meant to be.
