From the Battlefield to the Closing Table: Meet Caul Group’s Director of Sales
Michael Paulk is no stranger to high-stakes leadership. As a former U.S. Army Ranger and combat veteran, he built his foundation on discipline, grit, and an unshakable commitment to excellence. Today, as Director of Sales at Caul Group Residential, he brings that same drive to the world of real estate, equipping agents with the mindset, systems, and strategy to perform at the highest level. With over 20 years of experience in competitive sales environments, Michael’s approach is both tactical and empowering. He knows what it takes to win and he’s built a proven framework that helps agents grow sustainable, profitable, and purpose-driven businesses. From one-on-one coaching to full team training, Michael develops high-performance sales cultures rooted in accountability, clarity, and consistent action.

He’s not just a strategist, he’s a builder. Of businesses, of systems, and of people. A Cary, North Carolina native, Michael is also the author of two bestselling books, Always Bite Off More Than You Can Chew and Next Level Selling, Next Level Life, and the host of the podcast by the same name. Whether he’s training agents, speaking on stage, or sharing lessons from the field, Michael’s mission remains the same: help others level up in business and in life. Outside of work, he’s a proud husband to Angie (18 years and counting), and a devoted father and grandfather to their blended family of four children and five grandchildren. You’ll find him as grounded in his family values as he is fired up about helping others grow. If you’re ready to break through plateaus and lead with purpose, Michael Paulk is the kind of leader you want in your corner.
