About Tom Whalen

Like many salespeople, I had zero intentions of becoming a sales professional. When I graduated college, sales was only job I didn’t want and went out of my way to avoid any interview that involved being a salesman. It's a funny story that I can tell you when we talk; but, ironically, I ended up becoming a career B2B sales professional. After a very successful selling career, I found myself leading sales teams for some of the biggest companies on the Fortune 500 List including: Hewlett-Packard, American Express, Key Corp and McKesson Corporation and being responsible for several hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales revenues. I

have been very fortunate have had the opportunity to work for fantastic companies and learn from some really smart people. I have built successful sales teams from scratch, scaled new organizations, turned struggling departments around, and integrated multiple acquisitions. Each time has been a challenge, and every time I've had a little fun along the way.

As a leader, coach, and mentor, I’ve trained countless sales professionals and think I could add some value to your podcast.
My expertise is in selling remotely; but, I can also have a lot of experience selling face to face, trade show engagement or really any facet of business development. Please reach out to me to discuss my background and experience to see if you think I’d be a good fit as a guest on your show.
