About InnerView Group

We are translators.

We understand marketing, but we speak sales. We help big brands translate their customer strategies into simple, clear and actionable plans for frontline teams to execute. We are consultants, counselors – we’ve even been called therapists for our ability to get marketing leaders and frontline teams on the same page.


That is our superpower. 

What drives us is a commitment to frontline workers. 

Salespeople, customer service, technicians, installers, retail associates. No matter what their role, we know life in the trenches isn’t easy. We know because we’ve spent time with more than 100,000 of them across the globe. We’ve seen the magic that happens when representatives have belief, confidence and pride in the brand they represent. We are committed to helping them deliver an exceptional customer experience.

Hello from our team

Chris Wallace

Co-Founder, President
As Founder and President of InnerView, Chris builds upon previous success as the founder and CEO of Incite, a sales consulting and coaching practice, and his more than 15 years of sales, marketing and corporate leadership.

There is one single reason why Chris became and continues to be an entrepreneur – to help companies better align the strategies of the board room with the daily execution at the front lines. Helping to bridge that gap allows Chris to influence constant progress, from organization-wide culture shifts to individual employee breakthroughs in job satisfaction and commitment. In the end, the company wins, the employee wins and the customers win.

Beyond his work with clients, Chris is able to apply his passions as a teacher and author. He is an adjunct MBA professor at Temple’s Fox School of Business and has been published in outlets such as Harvard Business Review’s HBR.org.

Chris received a B.A. in Public Relations from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School and his MBA from Temple University. He lives in Villanova, PA with his wife, Sara, and his two young children. Your best bets to get him to STOP talking about work are to bring up baseball, golf, college basketball (GO ORANGE… and ‘Nova!) food or cigars.
