About Chris Jackson

As a career sales professional – with experience in business development, regional sales, and account management roles – I am known for selling consultatively and developing customized solutions that meet unique customer needs. I enjoy going deep into customer business goals, priorities, and pain points as this is the only way to deliver products and services that maximize customer value. While I enjoy the energy I get from closing deals, the biggest reward comes from solving customer problems and assisting in their long-term success.Consultative selling is key to my success, but so is building trusting and strategic relationships with client leadership teams. I am an active listener with genuine empathy for the challenges my customers face, which brings a level of genuineness often missing from sales relationships. In fact, my ability to build trust is a primary driver in my unusually high customer retention rates.Sales success does not happen in a vacuum. On the contrary, I depend regularly on the talents of cross-functional internal teams to push deals across the finish line and implement solutions. I have a reputation as a great collaborator, which is ultimately felt in the services and solutions my customers receive.
