Full testimonial text

Chris Cumby has a great way of explaining things that makes them easy to understand and motivates you to actually put them into practice. His coaching had a significant impact on me, especially when it came to sales. The things I learned from Chris are lessons I still apply today, and they have played a meaningful role in helping Beach 2 Bay Appliance Services grow significantly over the years.

Beyond sales, Chris helped me become a better leader. He brings a wealth of knowledge in business, finances, sales, and strategic planning, but what I appreciate is his ability to turn that knowledge into something you can actually use. His Success Playbook was a major turning point in my life and changed the way I approached both personal and business growth. I am genuinely grateful for his leadership, his guidance, and the lasting influence he has had on me.

Sincerely,

I have known Chris Cumby since 2004, when I first had the opportunity to coach Chris, his leadership and sales teams in my capacity as a performance consultant. Even then, I was exceptionally impressed by his entrepreneurial vision, leadership maturity, and ability to build a highly successful and innovative energy company from the ground up at such a young age. What distinguished Chris was not only his success, but his openness to strategic insight, willingness to evolve, and relentless commitment to achieving even greater results.

We remained connected over the years, and I reached back out to Chris several years ago, this time seeking his guidance. I was looking for a high-performance coach who could help me reconnect with strengths and capabilities that I felt had become dormant. I could think of no one more suitable than someone who had consistently demonstrated the very principles of success, resilience, and personal mastery that I was seeking to rediscover. Chris had walked the path himself, repeatedly translating vision into measurable success.

Working with Chris was a transformative experience, extending well beyond conventional executive or performance coaching. His multidisciplinary approach has helped me redefine what it means to create a fulfilling and successful life as a whole, integrating professional ambition, personal priorities, and overall well-being. Rather than pursuing the traditional concept of work-life balance, Chris helped me embrace what I describe as work-life blending, a more intentional way of integrating all pieces of one’s life.

Throughout our work together, I have achieved significant milestones, both personally and professionally. My professional accomplishments have included leading complex, high-value strategic partnerships, with deal values reaching well into the double-digit millions and beyond; while simultaneously rediscovering and strengthening the personal practices, priorities, and values which matter most to me.

What sets Chris apart is his unwavering and genuine passion for helping others succeed, and extraordinary commitment to those he works with. He brings a rare combination of real-world entrepreneurial achievement, strategic insight, and deeply personalized coaching methodologies. He invests himself in the success of others, challenging and empowering those who are equally committed to realizing their full potential.

I highly recommend Chris to any individual, executive, or organization seeking to elevate performance, unlock unrealized potential, and achieve new levels of success. His credibility is grounded not simply in what he teaches, but in what he has consistently demonstrated throughout his own life and career.

Above all, I regard Chris as an authentic leader, exceptional mentor, and trusted friend, someone I deeply admire for his ability to embody success not merely as a professional achievement, but as a holistic way of life.

Sincerely,
Valerie Georgantas

There are people who come into your life and help you grow your business. Then there are people who completely change the way you see yourself, your potential, and the people you surround yourself with.

Chris Cumby has been one of those people for me.

As an entrepreneur and the owner of Ruby Red Media, I've learned that success starts long before the results show up in your bank account. It starts with your mindset, your belief in yourself, and the people you allow to influence your life.

Chris was instrumental in helping me shift that mindset. He challenged me to think bigger, believe in what was possible, and approach business and leadership from an entirely different perspective.

But perhaps one of the greatest gifts Chris gave me was introducing me to an incredible community of men. These aren't just business contacts. They're men who challenge one another, encourage one another, hold each other accountable, and genuinely want to see each other succeed.

That community has become an invaluable part of my journey.

When I look at the growth I've experienced personally and professionally, I can confidently say Chris has played a meaningful role in that transformation.

Chris didn't just help me think differently about business. He helped change the people I do life and business with. And that has made all the difference.

I'm incredibly grateful for his leadership, friendship, and the impact he's had on my life.

Being fairly new to the sales and marketing industry, I feel very fortunate to have Christopher Cumby’s guidance at this stage of my career. His coaching has changed how I prepare for opportunities, connect with people, and recognize my own strengths. I can see the difference in how I approach my work every day.

Because of Chris’s training, I am more focused and intentional. I ask better questions, listen more closely, and take the time to understand someone’s challenges before offering solutions. He has encouraged me to trust my intuition and use it to guide more thoughtful conversations. I approach opportunities better prepared, with a clearer purpose and more confidence in what I bring to the table.

He has also helped me handle rejection differently. I’m learning to keep perspective, consider what I can learn, and move forward without letting one conversation discourage me. When you’re still finding your footing in sales, that kind of guidance and motivational support means a great deal.

What I especially appreciate about Chris is how openly he shares his expertise. He brings marketing ideas, explains sales concepts with strength and clarity, and helps me see how to put them into practice. He is learning and growing every week himself, and his approach is simple: learn it, use it, and teach it. That enthusiasm keeps our conversations fresh and gives me even more to take back into my work.

Through all of this, Chris leads with kindness. He challenges me to think more deeply while being incredibly supportive, and I know I can bring him a question or a challenge and receive thoughtful, honest guidance. His encouragement has helped me feel more capable and willing to stretch beyond what feels comfortable.

And I have to say, the “LevelUP” name is no joke—Chris will have you leveling up before you’ve finished organizing your notes!

I deeply appreciate his insights, his generosity, and the care he puts into helping me grow. I carry his lessons into conversations long after our sessions have ended. I wholeheartedly recommend Christopher Cumby to anyone ready to learn, build confidence, and become more purposeful in their approach to sales and business.
