About Chris Peterson

Since 2006, I've seen a growing chasm between the way organizations purchase security technology and the way we sell it. The result is an industry of amazing account managers with little to no time to hunt for new business. Unfortunately for our industry, technologies are converging and companies from other industries are taking our customers. This outcome is bad for us and our customers.In 2010, I decided to do something about this shift of influence, and started Vector Firm. Our mission is to help system integrators and their technology partners drastically improve their sales and marketing performance. and we're making an impact. Through training and consulting, we've helped almost 300 companies shift from simply managing customers to driving new business, growing recurring revenue, and becoming self-sufficient.I love my job. Multiple times a week, I stop and marvel at how lucky I am to have it. It took some guts, but I also had a lot of support, and perfect timing to make it happen. I get to work with some of the greatest personalities in business: sales and marketing professionals, and small to medium sized business owners. That's all I do. every single day. and it's awesome.Personally, I live in Orlando, FL with my wife and daughter, who are the most important and fun part of my life. I've been lucky enough to see much of the world, but my favorite activity today is to order pizza and watch a movie at home with the two of them. I also enjoy golf, working out, craft beers, sports (Gator football and Magic basketball ticket holder), and I still love to travel.
