Bio
Christopher Canter
Without a doubt, John is one of the best - if not the best - salesperson I have worked with in my career. Always up for any challenge, and always both pragmatic and firm in his approach to dealing with customers, I can't relate enough how good it was working with John. Indeed, I learned more about real-world negotiations and sales from John than in any course taught in law school.

John is one of the best Sales Directors that I have had the good fortune to work with. Unique among his peers is his gift for building client relationships. While at Telefonica I participated along with John in multiple customer meetings with senior executives. Throughout those interactions I witnessed first-hand his ability to actively listen to our customers, and provide thoughtful feedback. I also have a great deal of appreciation for his work with his sales teams. He sets high expectations, but is willing to provide the coaching and mentoring necessary to meet those high expectations. Not only do I highly recommend John as a sales leader, but I would openly welcome the opportunity to work with/for John in the future.
