Incentivize sales to update the CRM by showing them the ROI with Christopher Kingman, Global Head of Digital Sales Enablement at TransUnion

Chris began his career at TransUnion in the membership function and within a few weeks started building out customer training. The term sales enablement did not exist back then and within a few years Chris had a team of 12 people overseeing sales training, development, technology and operations. From there, Chris moved to the international arm of TransUnion where he went from supporting a 100 million dollar business to supporting 7 regions and 33 countries.
