ChrisBell3rd & Company (ChrisBell3rd) was founded in June 2009 in Columbia Maryland by Christopher Bell, III. This local company was successfully launched through the use of social media tools.

ChrisBell3rd  specializes in proven best practices with the latest in Sales 2.0 technology to deliver customized business development and sales strategies that uniquely fit each clients product-type, corporate culture, and sales revenue goals.

Mr. Bell, believes social media is important to business because it has the ability to exponentially accelerate exposure to unique and compelling content, products, and services at a very low cost.

Look… if Pepsi, a Fortune 500 company decides for the first time in 23 years, not to advertise in the Super Bowl, but decides to use a social media campaign instead? Hey, I’m thinkin’ this: if they’re using some of the same free social media tools I have, then I know I’m in the right space, doing the right thing, at the right time,

 

Chris uses LinkedIn as a strategic resource  by leveraging connections to facilitate warm introductions on his behalf. He uses Twitter as a tactical resource to listen and stay on top of the latest industry information. 
Mr Bell immdiately started getting results using social media for his Columbia, Maryland based business by using LinkedIn and Twitter.
Chris landed his first consulting project searching through Baltimore-DC Craig’s List. He closed his first deal for them in LESS THAN 30 DAYS as a result of a lead from a referral on Twitter. The net: 1st client = $29,000 in 5 months.  LinkedIn and Twitter Investment: $0

Chris published an article that went viral. The article resonated with a well-respected blogger, Career Makeover Coach, Tai Goodwin who invited him to participate in her BlogTalk Radio show to share tips on how one can transition into the technology sales profession.

Chris landed a Canadian client in April 2010 introduced via Twitter. His agreement with this company will represent a six-figure opportunity.

In January 2010 Chris learned of the Entrepreneur’s Challenge  sponsored by Melinda Emerson, the author of “Become Your Own Boss in 12 Months” who is better known on Twitter as “SmallBizLady.”
In May 2010 Christopher Bell, III. was announced as one the $25,000 winners featuring a prize of weekly small-business coaching sessions.
