Meet Edward Kerr, the CEO and Co-Founder of Practis, who stands at the forefront of merging the art of intentional conversation with transformational technology. After 20 years in the entertainment industry (as a professional actor starring in over 100 episodes of primetime television and feature films), Ed transitioned into technology and set out to create a way for people to act together via a smartphone application. At its core was a patented conversation simulator. Apple featured his innovative technology as one of their favorite apps of the year. Realizing his invention could serve a larger audience, he reimagined it as a fully automated roleplay simulator for customer-facing professionals. Diving into the intricacies of conversation, he uncovered a critical gap in the world of sales – the craft of transferring knowledge into conversation was not being taught effectively nor was it regularly reinforced. Ed recognized the potential to develop a sales language learning system that could help companies achieve fluency across their entire organization while empowering teams to confidently navigate customer conversations. This insight became the driving force behind Practis, which has been embraced by major corporations nationwide, transforming the way their employees get and stay on message when engaging with prospects and customers. Ed's vision continues to support thousands of professionals and enable teams to coalesce around a uniform story, resulting in dramatically improved performance and business outcomes. Ed's commitment to simplifying the approach to the sales conversation is what sets him apart as a true pioneer in the intersection of technology and language learning. His journey is a testament to the immense impact one individual can have on shaping the way we interact with the world. Ed recently returned to his hometown of Kansas City after 32 years in Los Angeles. He and his wife enjoy spending weekends with their kids on the family farm and rooting for his beloved Chiefs. Through Practis, Ed continues to shape a future where exceptional communication skills are within everyone's reach. Close
