Technology Sales Leader · AI Strategist · Speaker
I write and speak about how AI, leadership and better commercial systems are changing technology sales — particularly in complex and public-sector markets.
What I believe
AI will not replace great salespeople, but it will redefine what great looks like.
Sales performance is a system, not a collection of heroic individual efforts.
Technology must be sold through outcomes, not features.
Sustainable performance comes from data, coaching, clarity and accountability.

I'm Chris Berry — a technology sales leader and AI strategist based in the UK. I'm Sales Director at IEG Group, leading commercial teams selling complex technology solutions into local government, the NHS and public-sector organisations.
My work sits at the intersection of AI, strategy, process and people. I believe most sales failures aren't about product — they're about insight, qualification, and organisational alignment. That belief is what drove me to build the CHRIS Framework and the Multi-Thread Sales methodology.
I write and speak about how AI is reshaping sales — not replacing the human relationship at the heart of complex deals, but dramatically changing how we research, qualify, and engage. I believe AI will not replace great salespeople, but it will expose average ones.
Away from work, golf is my laboratory for understanding performance — I use data, coaching, deliberate practice and AI to explore how marginal gains are created and why improvement is rarely linear.

John Deere stopped selling tractors and started selling better harvests. Here's what that means for your sales conversations.
If only one person knows your value, your deal is fragile. How top performers think about relationship coverage differently.
The 20VC episode with Chris Degnan and Chad Peets is gold dust. The fundamentals still matter more than ever.
Why global brands sponsor football shirts most of their customers will never wear — and what it teaches complex B2B sales about value and discovery.
The biggest mistake organisations make after losing a bid is treating the debrief as an explanation of why they lost, rather than intelligence about how to improve.
Why the language used in a pipeline review can reveal whether a deal is genuinely moving or merely being described.
I used to write prompts to get AI to think like a Chief Revenue Officer. I don't any more. Here's what changed, and the five things I still ask it to do every week.
Talent alone doesn't win deals consistently — process does. The 10-stage bid process a high-performing sales organisation runs on.
Most businesses obsess over sales pipeline. Far fewer obsess over talent pipeline. But one drives the other.
The behaviours that made you a great salesperson often make you an ineffective leader. The trap that holds teams back.
Long-term success isn't built on moments of brilliance. It's built on thousands of ordinary decisions made consistently over time.
Six leadership principles from Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan — and why the simplest advice is often the most powerful.
Most CRM implementations optimise for visibility rather than effectiveness. The future of sales tech isn't more CRM.
The prompts I use every week that save hours and sharpen thinking.
We've confused individual productivity with organisational performance. They are not the same thing.
Why the AI era increases the importance of human judgement, not reduces it. Information was never the core value of a salesperson.
The Pursuit of Scratch
I use data, coaching, deliberate practice and AI to explore how marginal gains are created and why improvement is rarely linear. Preparation beats talent on a bad day. Course management beats aggression over 18 holes. I write about the journey honestly — the good rounds, the frustrating ones, and what the sport keeps teaching me about performance.
