He spent many years in the armed forces, where he successfully completed six tours of duty and achieved many qualifications that, he maintains gave him the confidence to try anything, but had no real practical application outside the Army, other than the leadership, communication skills and confidence to give it a go!
If pushed, he will invite you to pull up a ‘sandbag’, to listen to stories of daring-do! When he was a soldier. It had a huge affect on his life and is something he admits to being immensely proud of. It continues to be a big influence over who he is today. It was in the Army that he built the most enduring friendships many of which continue to this very day.
At the age of 32 Chris started his tumultuous journey into the world of business, starting straight after his last active service tour. His first role was in sales with a major UK bank.
This found him operating out of several branches in Norfolk England. After his first year in sales he achieved 140% of target, placing him in the top 10% of the company for that year. So began his love affair with sales and business.
With stints as CEO for a number of businesses in the UK and US he remained at the sharp end of business and also runs his own B2B Social Media and educational site Zennyo.com™ and calls himself a Rainmaker.
He attributes his success to the mistakes made along the way with people selection and leadership; these increased his learning and desire to drill further and further down into why people in business succeed and what makes success! He admits failures have been far more enlightening than successes.
When asked what is the most important advice you would give to someone new to business he offers these words:
“Make sure you are doing what you are most passionate about and
Make sure you learn the art and science of sales, even if you’re not going to be in sales!”ver menos
