Chris Lytle

Chris Lytle, best-selling author of The Accidental Salesperson and The Accidental Sales Manager, was born in Newark, Ohio, and graduated from Baldwin-Wallace College with a political science degree in 1972. After working as an intern in Congress, Lytle returned to Newark, where he hoped to secure a news position at a local radio station. Instead, he was offered a sales job, which he accepted, changing the course of his career forever. Lytle started his own business in 1982 and has spent the last thirty-five years delivering domestic and international seminars to salespeople and their managers. He has offered training to Fortune 500 companies and start-ups in the technical, financial, and service industries. After 30 years in Madison, WI and 15 years in Chicago, Illinois, Chris moved to Chattanooga, TN with his business partner and wife, Sarah McCann.
