“Finding the right mentor is both difficult and essential to growth. I was fortunate to connected with Tom three years ago as I was just stepping into a sales leadership role. His knowledge, experience, and communication style helped me grow both personally and professionally. Armed with a full arsenal of insights and resources to accompany his personal sales experiences, Tom was always a great sounding board.

Tom helped me build and structure my sales department in a variety of ways; strategic territory planning, hiring, talent development, performance tracking, forecasting, deal structuring, and overall department accountability. He helped me navigate complex enterprise deals and has always been responsive and timely on follow-through. This allowed me to work more effectively and make confident decisions.
