Bio
Dan Foley
I have known Chris since the early 2000’s when I was at Listen Inc. and Chris was at B&K. B&K was the sales channel in the US for Listen Inc. at that time. Chris very quickly learned the Listen product line and immediately presented this line to major Bay Area high tech companies. Chris’s sales acumen enabled Listen to displace entrenched competitors which then formed a solid foundation for Listen to successfully expand to their Asian subsidiaries and suppliers. I reconnected with Chris at Audio Precision in 2011. He steadily increased sales year over year during my tenure and positioned himself as a valued-added
Ryan O'Connor
Chris was a seasoned veteran with a decade already under his belt when I came in as a raw salesperson to Audio Precision. He patiently helped me understand the sales processes, prospecting and generally "the game we played and how we win." He helped direct my enthusiasm of consumer electronics to collaborate with accounts that supported these products. He showed me I was part of the team straight away. Many of my accounts were customers/suppliers of his Bay Area customers. His knowledge of the Bay Area and the organizations based there is impressive and much respect for the introductions to the big accounts in the area. Those key introductions helped me get a leg up on building up my territory! I will not forget when I was preparing for an all-day technical seminar and hit some roadblocks in my demos and content. He had this knack of taking a complex technical subject and breaking down into snack-size chunks so that anyone could access this information. His savvy along with experience in effective delivery helped convey some complex topics in ways I hadn't thought of; was a big hit with my attendees. I would recommend Chris to any organization looking for a technically savvy salesperson with robust connections to the Bay Area companies, especially tech companies. His experience, technical acumen, patience, humor and customer-focus will be a value add to your team.
