Hello, I'm Chris.
I Help Sales And Marketing Professionals Gain A Competitive Edge.
In the sales and marketing world, there is no shortage of amateur psychologists offering dubious insights and counsel. I am not one of them.
I’m a clinical psychologist turned marketer, speaker, trainer, and consultant. For nearly three decades, I’ve been a leading expert in consumer psychology and buying behavior.
In that time, I have spoken to organizations and conferences worldwide, empowering audiences to apply real-world psychology to influence consumer behavior without feeling gross. My work with some of the world’s most admired brands has helped them to attract more customers, motivate them to buy, and keep them coming back.
The better you understand the minds of your customers, the more effectively you will engage with them and the more effectively you will sell.
Retailer, brand, product, or service — I am committed to helping you develop a psychology-based, customer-centric approach to sales and marketing that will unlock your business’s potential.

I took all I had learned and began charting my own unique path, applying my expertise to real-world sales and marketing. As a result, I know the importance of insights, strategies, and skills that are not just smart but also useful and actionable.
