Christian Abrahamson
Christian’s sales story starts when he was five. He made his first sale to his Grandmother (teaching her how to ride a skateboard). This was his first time feeling that “high you can’t buy” from selling.
Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Christian’s family moved to Jacksonville in 1990 after his dad was transferred. Even before his first sales job, Christian was always selling, using his confidence to influence the things he wanted.
“So I was like 9 years old and we visited my dad’s friend who had this remote controlled boat. So I see this boat and I want it. So I start bringing up this boat in conversation and next thing you know, he gives me the boat. I still have that boat today! And it didn’t stop there. I remember when Sam’s Club opened, I would get my mom to buy me boxes of Warheads and Blow Pops and I would sell them in the school. It was pretty lucrative for a kid until I got in trouble.”

At 13 he found himself teaching karate to adults and children, kickstarting his passion for teaching. His first selling job was selling cars. He took to this so naturally that he ended up with a company demo car after just two weeks. But it wouldn’t last. Just a few weeks after that, Christian was poached by a high-end jewelry store. He would spend the next 15 years working in jewelry, becoming the youngest manager in the company and, eventually, having the second-highest grossing location nationwide.
Sale Consultant
In 2014, Christian followed the calling to step out and create his own consulting firm. This decision to leave a very lucrative career was driven by two things. First, in the high-end jewelry world, he saw a lot of wealthy clients who were not happy.
“I would see lots of people come in. People who were buying quarter-million dollar pieces, but they were miserable. I’ve had clients go through painful divorces. I’ve had clients who committed suicide. It was a real thing. So one day I felt the calling. And it was strong. You have to understand, we were coming up on the busy season where I would have made 30% of my annual salary in the next two months. But the calling was strong and true. So I took it.”

Second he wanted to share what he learned with sales people to make their lives better. During his time working in jewelry, Christian took advantage of some of the best sales training available. While there were valuable tools there, he realized one big idea. It was not the tools and trainings that made him a great salesperson. It was that he was likable and personable with great confidence.
“My drive to help others grow better in sales, and now marketing, comes from an honest place. I don’t just want to share information. I don’t just want to improve the lives of the owners or the leadership. When I work with a client, the goal is to make a difference for people there. If what I do doesn’t touch the staff there, then it’s not authentic.”
