Background

About Chris Sciora

Try and fail, but don't fail to try.” I've started several companies, raised private money from investors and have a strong talent for sales, marketing, business development and fund raising. Along the way, I've also mentored and worked directly with numerous small businesses (startups, technology providers and online retailers) to identify new markets, develop automated marketing systems and increase sales. USEFUL STUFF TO KNOW - 1st software startup I joined had a successful IPO within five years - have personally sold many, many million of dollars of enterprise and subscription based software - founded several companies including software, online product sales and real estate investing - understand that "fail quickly" and "split testing" are prerequisites for explosive growth - truly believe that automated direct response marketing is needed by 98% of small biz - passionate proponent of direct response marketing, split-testing, automated followup systems and measuring results to dramatically increase leads, conversions and sales. WHAT PEOPLE SAY Based on feedback from several dozen friends, business partners and associates, perhaps my single greatest skill is problem solving from a big picture perspective and getting buy in from everyone needed to make it reality. This was part of a productivity workshop exercise and very enlightening. Other popular comments included "out-of-the-box thinking, high level perspective, natural leadership ability, strong communication skills, perseverance and calm demeanor." My personal favorite:"You have a vision of what can be and know how to create the future." Love that. SKILLS Direct response marketing, marketing automation, copy writing, B2B / enterprise sales, raising investment capital, private lending, real estate investing, wealth generation, asset protection, fleet logistics and route management software. p.s. As a former developer, I'm also a serious analytics nerd when it comes to marketing data.
