Q&A with Chris Hollingsworth

Chris Holligsworth, Sales Director, south Central U.S., Jetcraft
Location:

Describe a typical day or week in your role.

There is no typical day. There are constant changes in what we do for our clients depending on what they ask us to find for them. What we do is source and sell aircraft for people, and as information changes on a daily basis, we are constantly looking for the most up to date data to deliver to our clients.

Tell us what you enjoy most about your role.

The thing I most enjoy about my role at Jetcraft, is delivering on client’s expectations and exceeding them.

Describe what you are most proud of in your professional journey.

I’m most proud of being part of a company that aligns with my personal goals. Since we all have the same goals and ambitions, it feels great to be a part of a group like that.

Tell us how Jetcraft’s global network of offices and specialists benefit clients.

Our global network benefits clients as we’re able to deliver data from around the world at a moments notice. With our people in territory, we can get accurate information very quickly, verses going through a third party that may not have a rep in the region. With our global network, we have relationships in local markets that no one else has, that directly benefits our clients.

Explain how Jetcraft’s data and analytics are used within your work.

The data that our team generates for us as sales directors, enables us to provide accurate information to our clients in real time.

Share which business aircraft you would buy.

If I could buy any business aircraft, I would buy a Global 7500 so I can go further, faster and higher.

Share a travel essential you couldn’t live without.

I could not live without my headphones when travelling.

Share the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given.

The best piece of advice I have ever been given is to be true to who you are.

Describe what’s most rewarding about working with Jetcraft.

The most rewarding thing about working with the Jetcraft team, is truly being part of a family that I’ve been with for the past 15 years, and that has grown from a handful of people to almost 100.

Describe Jetcraft in one word.

I would describe Jetcraft as excellence.
