I am absolutely thrilled to recommend Chris, our exceptional Director of Sales for the North American region at 3d Signals. As the CPO, I had the privilege of working closely with Chris and witnessing his remarkable sales leadership and multifaceted skill set. Chris was instrumental in shaping our go-to-market strategy, market penetration efforts, and outbound processes and campaigns. He skillfully tackled the complex SMB market for discrete manufacturing and showcased an outstanding mastery of the sales motion in the SaaS industrial IoT domain. One of Chris's most impressive achievements was securing the largest ARR deal in our company's history, as well as being responsible for the first sale of a new product. His technical sales expertise, combined with an in-depth understanding of our product, enabled him to excel in the sales process and ensure account expansion. Working collaboratively with the Customer Success and Product Management teams, Chris developed a comprehensive expansion strategy that significantly enhanced our onboarding process and customer satisfaction levels. Chris's unwavering dedication, passion for sales, and keen attention to detail made him an indispensable asset to our organization. His people-oriented approach and ability to foster strong relationships with colleagues contributed to a highly productive and positive work environment. I wholeheartedly endorse Chris as a truly exceptional candidate for any company seeking a results-oriented, enthusiastic, and collaborative sales leader. His remarkable achievements, technical sales proficiency, and team-building skills make him the perfect fit for any sales-focused role.
