What People Say

Feedback from Definitive Healthcare.

“
Chris would be an incredible addition to any live audience. I’ve seen him speak multiple times, including our Sales Kickoff in front of 800+ people, which he crushed. Each time he finds a unique way to connect on both a personal and professional level.

The Book

You Are Capable of More

The bestselling book behind the keynote — ten principles for closing the gap between what a team is producing and what it is actually capable of. Most sales teams are not short on talent; they are short on belief that the next tier is available to them.

Kickoffs regularly pair a keynote with copies for every rep. Bulk pricing and signed editions are available.
