Bio
Graham Lowe
I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Christopher when he spoke to the Halton Region Small Business Centre's Starter Company Plus Program participants about sales and relationship management. Chris walked our group of 30 participants through a variety of sales processes and concepts -- and more importantly, included salient, real-world examples that really helped to articulate his points. Each of our program participants left Christopher's sales seminar with new ideas and a variety of business development action items. I would highly recommend Christopher as a guest speaker; his presentation was professional, polished, engaging and entertaining. I look forward to working with him again.

Chris is a reliable and responsive business partner. His proactive, attentive approach to solution-selling positions him well from a vendor standpoint. Chris operates with great professionalism and is always willing to go the extra mile to satisfy; a well rounded and poised partner.

Chris was my Sales Manager for North and South America. He is a highly detailed and process focused individual with an excellent understanding of, and ability to use technology to optimize the sales function. Chris provided regular training for his Account Managers and staff, assigned aggressive sales targets and goals, and provided consistent training, coaching and mentoring. Chris used his understanding of technology to develop and administer a number of highly successful e-campaigns and provided valuable advice on how best to maximize our CRM, marketing communications and web strategies. Chris is intrinsically dedicated and committed to meeting client’s needs and during one demanding 6 month RFP process with a National Telecommunications company, worked tirelessly to identify and address product and service requirements before they became a concern. Chris spent many evenings with his Account Manager and field service technicians training client staff and ensuring equipment was installed and operating correctly. Chris has excellent technical knowledge in mechanics and electronics and consistently applies this expertise in his work. When educating his staff, meeting with client product management or company engineers, Chris is able to provide meaningful product insight and can explain issues, from both the company and client perspective, at a grassroots level. Six months into his role Chris was given the added responsibility of Technical and Field Service Manager and excelled in this discipline. His natural inclination towards systematically addressing problems, developing optimizing processes, directing staff and working with service partners became clear as he quickly developed an effective North American technical service capability. As a person Chris is emotionally intelligent, self disciplined, intellectually curious and has a strong moral compass. I would hire Chris again without hesitation.
