About Kris Petro

I’m a sales leader who loves building teams that win, and have fun doing it! Over the past 18+ years, I’ve helped grow multimillion-dollar portfolios, scale scrappy sales teams into high-performing machines, and coach sellers to hit their goals with confidence and creativity.I\'ve led enterprise teams overseeing $35M+ revenue portfolios that consistently achieved double digit YoY growth through smart GTM plays, better storytelling, and data-backed coaching. I’m all about equipping sales professionals with the tools, insights, and the deserved recognition they need to thrive.I geek out on developing GTM strategies, testing various sales methodologies, and discovering new ways AI can power sales teams. At the end of the day, what drives me most (besides coffee!) is helping customers solve real problems and building teams that support each other, push boundaries, & celebrate the wins!Let’s connect—always down to talk big ideas, bold sales strategies, or who has the best smash burger!
