I offer professional consulting services to dealerships nationwide to assist them in understanding who their customers are by developing a progressive organizational mindset and by focusing on an unconventional style of written and verbal communication that will compel customer curiosity and retain customer interest over the long term.

I am self-employed as an Internet sales training consultant. I have eight years of in-dealership experience as an e-commerce manager associated with the following brands: Acura, Buick, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac and Saab.

I am a former executive recruiter, private secondary school administrator, Fortune 500 corporate security manager (international operations and executive protection) and U.S. Army military intelligence branch officer (Airborne and Special Forces qualified) who served on active duty in both Infantry and Special Forces units and on reserve duty in the Individual Ready Reserve.

I received the most creative Internet Sales Professional award at the March 2007 AAISP digital dealer conference in Nashville, Tennessee and I was a speaker at the October 2007 AAISP digital dealer conference held in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I am a graduate of Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, and I earned an A.B. (magna cum laude) in History from Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine. I was selected as a James Bowdoin Scholar for four years and I was elected to membership in the Phi Beta Kappa national honor society during my senior year of college.

Mrs. Jeanne Ferris, my wonderful wife of 26 years, our two daughters Christine and Kimberley, and Daisy Duke and Emmie Lou, our two female mountain cur / boxer mix hound dogs (discovered at West Tennessee Animal Rescue), keep me motivated and moving fast on a 24 x 7 basis!

No doubt Chris. Not only will they need to be more aware of their changing landscape and marketplace - they're really going to embrace the three dominant rules today. 1) Markets are Conversations, 2) Non-transparent marketing or selling fails, and 3) Consumers Rule!
