Craig Handley has an energy and a character that draws people to him like moths to a lightbulb... he's a networking monster with an unstoppable combination of hard work, ingenuity, and creativity that has sparked the vision and growth that drives the success of both companies he leads: Listen Up Español and its sister enterprise, Revenue Enhancement Consultants (REC). He is well known throughout the globe for being an entrepreneur who lives and breathes the Maverick motto: "Make More Money, Have More Fun, and Give More Back".

Craig's expertise in maximizing the sales process – and LUE's impressive track record of higher conversion rates and average order value than any other Spanish-language call center – was achieved from the ground up, having started his professional career in door-to-door sales and rising through the ranks in several call centers. A respected consultant for hundreds of different products and services in almost every category, he has also contributed articles to Response Magazine, eRetailer and DM News on how to effectively increase revenue and profitability. Craig served in the U.S. Army, and studied music as a vocal major in college. These days, his passions include his four brilliant children, Drew, age 16, Zachary, age 14, Rebekah, age 12, and Allyson, age 9, playing basketball, and his love for music which is often displayed as one-half of the infamous "hip-pop" duo, CRGruve.
