Chris is a social selling leader. He understands how social media has impacted sales, crafts and manages social selling programs and develops unique points of view for the market. He's a pleasure to work with and I look forward to see his continued contributions in this space.

Chris has in-depth knowledge in a new field of selling: social media usage. I admire Chris for his willingness to test new things, lead the "comfort zone" and explore new ways of selling. Chris has a sense for good business and is a good coach for me as a partner to SPI.
