Tom Weber
Vice President of Sales
Tom’s sales career started as soon as he learned to talk. This natural sales ability didn’t help him get out of the chores growing up on an Iowa farm, but he did learn the value of a hard days work. Combining this work ethic and talent led to success in his first sales job with the Southwestern Company, during college, selling books door-to-door. For five summers, Tom successfully sold books across the U.S., while he also trained and managed other college students. Teaching, coaching, and training others how to sell came as natural to Tom as selling itself and the top awards for leading and selling were consistent every year.
Tom defines his purpose as, “I exist to serve by expanding horizons. “ This purpose provides Tom the fuel to guide others (and himself) to see farther than they thought they could, to achieve more than thought possible, and to believe in themselves more than they have. It would be this same passion for growth that has driven him to climb mountains in Russia and Africa, trek gorillas in Rwanda, dive the Great Barrier Reef, complete the Ironman triathlon, and continuously read, watch, and listen to experts across numerous industries in order to become a Master of his own Craft.
When it comes to speaking or instructing, Tom finds a way to connect to any audience in a way that turns the presentation into a conversation. Drawing upon the 12,000+ sales presentations he has delivered over the last 14 years, (eight with FPD), he is able to teach others based on actual experience and insight, rather than theory, which enables his workshops to be interactive and “hands-on”. He has won the “Speaker of the Year” and the “Instructor of the Year” awards, and many of the thousands of students he has personally taught have said that Tom’s blend of personality, humor, and knowledge rank him as one of the greatest speakers they have ever seen.
He is currently based in the great city of Chicago, where he lives with his wife Peggy and Wilson the dog.
