Chris Westfall
National Elevator Pitch Champion | The "Sales Accelerator"

Chris is one of the most talented individuals that I have had the opportunity to meet with in the marketing industry. He truly is talented but his passion for helping others improve their career path is what sets him apart from other speakers. He brings a sense of self-actualization making individuals dig deep to find who they are, what talents they possess, and how to communicate those talents to other professionals. He has the ability to connect with individuals of all stages of their career growth and can motivate others to connect and network with professionals in their desired field of interest. I was honored and grateful to have to opportunity to meet him and learn successful ways to expsnd my career even during this challenging economy. He is one of the best speakers I have been able to listen to in years.

National elevator pitch champion, Chris Westfall, is the "sales accelerator". An expert on leadership, collaboration and complex sales processes, he regularly speaks to international executives at Hewlett-Packard (the largest technology company in the world). He's also an award-winning instructor at the #9-rated MBA program at Southern Methodist University (SMU).
According to Jeffrey Hayzlett, former CMO of Eastman Kodak Corporation and author of The Mirror Test (one of Business Week's top 3 business books for 2010), the new elevator pitch is 118 seconds long - about the length of the average elevator ride in New York City. The elevator speech for the new economy requires that you can 'stand and deliver' a message that's authentic, compelling and relevant. No matter what your profession, we all have to influence others on a daily basis - providing the kind of communication that inspires others to take action.
As one of the foremost sales consultants in the market today, Chris Westfall has appeared on CNN, ABC-NEWS, and NBC. He has written for a variety of magazines and newspapers, and his first book is due out in early 2012. In addition to Hewlett-Packard (HP), clients include Lutron, American Institute of Architects, Lexicon Senior Healthcare, Texas Christian University, and more.

As a business student, I hear speakers and presentations all the time. Although other speakers were knowledgeable and somewhat interesting, I couldn’t connect with them. Mr. Westfall connects with everyone in the room regardless of their age, race or gender. He’s one of the few speakers that affectively shares extremely beneficial information, presents it in a professional manner, all while having a captivating personality. You will laugh, learn, and be inspired towards out performing yourself in not only your career but in your life as well.

Chris, you always deliver more than just a talk. The things you say drive people to really think hard about who they are, how they are, and why they are. In brief, you force real self actualization which is one of the only ways for people to make meaningful improvement.
Beyond the content, you are so engaging. That is what really differentiates the good from the great. If you drive great content, but are boring, you will lose the audience. When Chris Westfall speaks, I listen, and I enjoy every moment of it.
