"If I could hire for Sales Enablement again, Chris would be my first call, no hesitation. In less than a year at OfferUp, he completely transformed how we train and develop our sales org. He rebuilt New Hire programs for both our AEs and AM teams, collecting input from every level: frontline managers, department heads, and ICs, to ensure it actually worked in the field. 

He introduced structured feedback loops through surveys and roundtables, added diverse learning paths (live sessions, application exercises, videos, and e-modules), and tied everything to measurable KPIs. That level of accountability in enablement is rare. He also differentiated learning by experience, from foundational skills to advanced Challenger-based selling, and incorporated MEDDIC principles throughout. He’s smart, data-driven, and deeply connected to how reps actually learn."

"I had the pleasure of working with Chris, and his impact on our sales organization was immediate and measurable. Within months, he launched a full-scale sales skills training program, built a structured certification process, and overhauled new hire onboarding, all of which drove stronger accountability and faster ramp times.

Chris approaches training like a business owner: focused on clarity, scalability, and results. In just 6 months, engagement rates reached 96%, average assessments scored 90%, and new hire content duplication dropped by 50% through smart consolidation and process redesign. He also introduced assessments and feedback loops that turned training into a data-backed discipline rather than an assumption-driven one.

Beyond his execution, Chris operates with strong cross-functional influence, aligning Sales, Marketing, and Operations around consistent standards and clear outcomes. He brings the rare combination of instructional design skill, operational rigor, and the ability to translate learning into performance. Any company looking to scale sales enablement with measurable ROI would benefit from having him on their team."

"Chris Oliver sets an incredibly high bar on quality in sales enablement. His level of expertise on learning methodology and delivery on content and programs that drive meaningful results are far above industry standards. What makes him unique however is his willingness to dive in and become a subject matter expert on the content and training he is delivering.

Several projects Chris brought forth in our time working together were best described as VERY ambitious. At which point he not only delivered as promised but exceeded expectations. If you have Chris at the helm of your Sales Enablement team, you are very fortunate."
