About Chet Holmes
Chet Holmes is recognized as America's top marketing executive, trainer, strategic consultant and motivation expert. Chet has had 60 of the Fortune 500 as clients. He has identified and developed the 12 core competencies that are proven to provide the main structure of truly great companies and he has developed more than fifty proprietary methods for implementing to see his and your ideas actually take root and grow.
Chet Holmes developed his strategy systems while running nine divisions of a company for Charlie Munger (on the Forbes "Billionaires" list, partner of Warren Buffett). Chet Holmes doubled the sales volume of each division, most within only 12 to 15 months, continuing strategic growth in several divisions and again doubling sales for several years consecutively. Charlie has called Chet, "America's greatest sales and marketing executive."
"It was all in the constant focus on the 12 competencies," explains Chet. These 12 competencies became the foundation for more than 65 training products now selling in 23 countries.
In 1991, Holmes formed the company that would become known as Chet Holmes International, a company that has created training products and services, all primarily designed to help companies be more effective at marketing, sales and mgmt. CHI has published "Mega Marketing and Sales," The Business Growth Masters Series with Jay Abraham, Guerrilla Meets Karate Master, with Guerilla Marketing author Jay Conrad Levinson and most recently completed, The Ultimate Business Mastery System with Tony Robbins.
Chet is the author of the international best seller, "The Ultimate Sales Machine," which was in the two one, two or three of sales mgmt books on Amazon for two years as of this writing. It was published by Penguin Portfolio and has since been published in 12 languages, including Russian, French, Polish, Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese.
Also a fifth degree black belt karate master (Chet studied and taught karate for 23 years), Chet says, "Becoming a master is not about doing 4000 different things, it's about doing 12 things, 4000 times each." A strategic sharp shooter, Chet consistently catapults his clients beyond the competition.
"When you see how methodical Chet's approach is, you understand instantly how he can assure dramatic sales increases. Chet is a very brilliant man in his discipline. He's a very strategic-minded person, but his even stronger suit is figuring out the systems, the process, and the procedures that drive, sustain, maintain and replicate a system so a company can grow and become great. This is what I think is missing in most entrepreneurial companies," says Jay Abraham, one of Fortune Magazine's top five business growth gurus.
Chet is also noted by Jay Levinson (famed author of Guerrilla Marketing, and 55 other best selling books) as "perhaps one of the most prolific creative machines of our time."

Chet became the executive producer of In The Name Of The King, a $60 million epic fantasy in the vein of Lord Of The Rings.
Chet Holmes is also a devoted father and husband, which he calls "my best accomplishment."
